Questions & Answers about Acel casier lucrează repede.

Why is it Acel casier instead of Casierul acela?
Both mean "that cashier", but they differ in tone and structure. Placing the demonstrative adjective before the noun (Acel casier) feels slightly more formal or emphatic, and notice that the noun drops its definite article. The post-positioned version (Casierul acela) is more common in everyday spoken Romanian and requires the noun to have the definite article.
Could I use rapid instead of repede here?
Yes, you can say lucrează rapid, but repede is the more natural, everyday choice for an adverb meaning "quickly" or "fast". Rapid is primarily an adjective used to describe nouns, and while it can be used as an adverb, repede sounds much less stiff.
Does the word repede change its ending if we talk about multiple cashiers?
No, it stays exactly the same. In this sentence, repede is an adverb modifying the verb lucrează, and adverbs do not change form to match the subject's gender or number.
