"Autostrada de lângă capitală este bună."

Translation: The highway near the capital is good.

[Lacusta]

British speakers do not use the term 'highway' the alternative 'motorway' should be also be accepted.

Why nearby the capital is not accepted? Near and nearby might be slightly different but the context is the same, any English native speaker could clarify this for me?

[EmmaMitche89062]

Roy, we don't say "nearby the capital", (I am a native British citizen, from England) but "near the", "close to the", "next to the" or even "outside the" are good alternatives. "Nearby" comes at the end of a phrase. For example, "There are good routes in and out of the capital, with the motorway nearby".

Thank you so much for your useful tip. I always like to lean on native speakers to have a better grammatical understanding.
Kuddos for you!

Could someone tell me why "capitală" is used instead of "capital"?

[Michael854637]

capitală f (plural capitale)

capital city

capital of a region

[BenYoung84]

I think that "capital" only has the "money" meaning in Romanian.

Why e buna is not accepted?

[CarloGamag1]

Freeway should be accepted unless there is a payment to access it.

1) I think you're being too specific.

2) Highways in Romania are not free, you need to buy a stamp that has to be put on the car's windscreen.
