Questions & Answers about Coperta se tipărește mai întâi.

Why use se tipărește instead of este tipărită for "is printed"?

Both are grammatically correct, but Romanian strongly prefers this reflexive passive construction (se + verb) for general processes where the person doing the action isn't important. Using se tipărește sounds much more natural to native speakers than the literal translation este tipărită.

Why use mai întâi for "first" instead of prima?

Mai întâi is an adverb meaning "firstly" or "beforehand," which applies to the sequence of the action. If you used prima, it would act as an adjective describing the noun, changing the meaning to "the first cover" (out of several) rather than "the cover is printed before everything else."

Does coperta also mean a cover you use on a bed?

No, coperta refers specifically to the cover of a book, notebook, or magazine. If you want to talk about a blanket, you would use pătura, and for a decorative bed cover or bedspread, you would use cuvertura.
