"an apple, two apples"

Translation: un măr, două mere

[Casha234-]

why is it not doi mare?

[asmith63084]

Well, I checked and "măr" is neuter. In Romanian, neuter nouns pattern like masculine nouns in the singular, and feminine nouns in the plural. As such, "un măr," singular, but "două mere," plural.

[da1ana]

Yep, "măr" it's neutral. And that's why it has the masculine form at singular and feminine form at plural

[GrossiBP]

maybe becuase un mar is a masculine? I think so.

[Gwendyi]

Curious mar is feminine on masculine mist doi mere not doua mere right?

"Măr" for "apple" is a neuter noun. Romanian still has the three grammatical genders of masculine, feminine, and neuter. For adjective agreement with neuter nouns in Romanian, the agreement is similar to masculine for singular, but similar to feminine for plural.
