"Bărbatul mănâncă cina."

Translation: The man eats dinner.

[Arthur729442]

From Latin "cena".

[qpcular]

But they don't say "The dinner" or "A dinner" in English.
So, is this a Romanian thing that I have to memorize or is there anything to understand about the sentence "Bărbatul mănâncă cina" and does "cină" mean "Dinner" or "A dinner"?

[Andrei926539]

It is a specific dinner, hence the definite article. Remeber that the articles don't work the same from language to language.

[ChrisDann2]

I wrote it entirely correctly but on checking received "another correct solution" followed by exactly the same words (of course!)

[kurhanczyk]

how to say "dinner"? without the.
