"Do you have the table?"

[jl45a]

why not la masa?

[JonEnMiljon]

'Masă' = '(a) table'
'Masa' = 'the table'
'La' = 'at/to/in' (not a definite article in Romanian!)

[Adranomia]

"La masa" would be "at the table".

[Jurbby]

I thought masă meant meal.

Can someone please clarify?

[matgrioni]

Masă can mean both meal and table, it's used elsewhere like this in the lesson.

[Jurbby]

Multumesc!

[Kia47]

It doesn't accept that, nor does it accept voi aveti la masa
why?

[JonEnMiljon]

Because "la masă" means "at the table". "La" is not a definitive article in Romanian (unlike other Romance languages). It is ONLY a preposition.
