Questions & Answers about Demografia țării se schimbă după fiecare recensământ.
Why is it țării rather than țara?
țării is the genitive (possessive) form of țară (country), meaning of the country. Because the preceding noun demografia already has a definite article at the end, țării can follow it directly without needing a possessive article like a or al.
Why do we use the reflexive pronoun se with schimbă here?
In Romanian, the base verb a schimba (to change) is transitive, meaning it needs a direct object (e.g., changing a tire). When something changes on its own, like demography, Romanian requires the reflexive form a se schimba (literally, it changes itself).
What is the plural of recensământ?
Why does recensământ stay in its basic singular form after fiecare?
The adjective fiecare (every/each) is always followed by a singular, unarticulated noun. Additionally, the preposition după (after) requires the accusative case, which looks identical to the dictionary form for nouns, so no special endings are needed here.
