"The grape is big."

Translation: Strugurele este mare.

[f_monts]

Isn't it plural? Ending in -le? So it should be "sunt mari" and not "este mare". Why not?

This question has most likely already been asked. However; what are the rules regarding este and e in Romanian? They appear much more interchangable in Romanian than in other romance languages.

[JhJh9]

E is the short form (and it is also less formal), they mean the same thing.
