In Romanian, you always use the definite article with possessive pronouns.
There is a way around it, but it isn't common in speech, it sounds more "poetic":
Al vostru animal e gras.

Kind of. My knowledge of grammar fails me here; it is the same form as in this example:
The animal is yours. - Animalul e al vostru.
But I am pretty sure it serves a different function.
I don't understand the word GRAS in Romanian dictionary means in english is liberally but in this sentence you use is fat...thank you..

As far as in this course, gras means fat or fatty. I believe the Romanian word for "liberally" would be "generos." Your dictionary might have a loose or incorrect interpretation.
