Questions & Answers about După părerea mea, designul și textura sunt prea moderne.

Why is the adjective moderne in the feminine plural form when it modifies both designul and textura?

In Romanian, when an adjective modifies a mix of neuter (designul) and feminine (textura) nouns, the adjective resolves to the feminine plural form. Since neuter nouns behave like feminine nouns in the plural anyway, both subjects naturally align with the feminine plural adjective moderne.

Is designul masculine or neuter, given it takes the masculine-looking -ul ending?

It is neuter. Borrowed nouns ending in a consonant, like design, almost always become neuter in Romanian. A neuter noun takes the masculine-style -ul for the singular definite article, but behaves like a feminine noun in the plural, which is why it groups so easily with textura here.

If we changed the sentence to have a masculine noun instead of a neuter one, would moderne change?

Yes. If you combine a masculine noun with a feminine or neuter noun, the default rule for the modifying adjective is to use the masculine plural form. If you replaced the neuter designul with a masculine noun like peretele (the wall), the adjective would have to change to the masculine plural moderni.

Why is după used in the phrase după părerea mea instead of a direct translation for the English word in?
