Learn Romanian: Ce părere ai referitor la filozofia modernă? - What is your opinion regarding modern philosophy?

While Care este părerea ta? is grammatically correct and understood, Ce părere ai? (literally "What opinion do you have?") is the much more natural and common way to ask for someone's thoughts in everyday Romanian.

Could I just use despre instead of referitor la here?

Yes, you absolutely can! despre (about) is more common in casual speech. referitor la (regarding / concerning) elevates the register slightly, making it sound more formal or intellectual, which fits perfectly when discussing a topic like filozofia modernă.

Wait, why does the noun have a definite article after la (la filozofia)? Doesn't la usually take the unarticulated form?

You are remembering correctly! Normally, prepositions like la drop the definite article from the following noun (for example, la filozofie). However, when the noun is followed by a descriptive adjective—like modernă here—the definite article comes back. That is why it becomes la filozofia modernă instead of la filozofie modernă.

I've sometimes seen philosophy spelled as filosofia with an "s". Are both correct?
