"A patra este cea bună."

Translation: The fourth is the good one.

[Dondic]

what is the difference between "A patra este cea bună" and "A patra este bună" ?
I thought we use "cea" only for superlative

[razvan.marin]

The superlative is formed with cea mai, not just cea.

• A patra este bună (The fourth is good)
• A patra este cea bună (The fourth is the good one)
• A patra este cea mai bună (The fourth is the best one)

Cea = the ,you are missing it in your sentence

I'm confused, where does 'patrulea' come into play?

[Corry467713]

Al =ending with lea is for male
A = ending with a for female
Bărbatul este al ........lea
Femeia este a ...........a

Thank-you. That is helpful.

[Coriander18]

When it starts with Al. Then presumably is has to become al patrulea este cel bun, I think.

I think "a patra" is for female words and "al patrulea" is for masculin words, but I'm not a native speaker.
