"English language is a living language."

Translation: Limba engleză este o limbă vie.

[brinkerl]

The English version of the sentence is unnatural/incorrect. It should be "The English language..."

[gluadys]

I agree.

Or simply "English is a living language."

[Sam278989]

Limba has no diacritical mark in the beginning of the sentence and a diacritical mark toward the end. Does this have anything to do with case?

[Jacques_JD]

The first one is definite: limba [engleză] = the [English] language, while the second one is indefinite: o limbă [vie] = a [living] language.

This is the case with all feminine nouns ending in -ă: fată / fata, vacă / vaca, treabă / treaba, țară / țara...

The concept of definite and indefinite articulation of nouns is quite fundamental in Romanian. I would recommend getting familiar with it in the earliest stages possible.

[qizwiz]

If "este" and "e" are the same thing, do we need to be tested on this over and over again? Secondly, it devalues this type of question since I can go "ok, this one has 'este' and 'e' in it..those most be the correct answers"
