"un ziar"

Translation: a newspaper

[JOKOJOKO83]

"Ziar" sounds like "diary" to me... Is that its origin?

[Jean-manu30]

I'm not 100% sure but I thinks it's the same "idea" juste "diary" comes from "day" and "ziar" from zi. Just like in french "jounal" from "jour" or "journée".
I think the word is build with the same idea that it's a book who come every day.

[AndreiChichizola]

I want to know its origin too

[Greenedog]

Why is it this answer and not the other?

[Ray56858]

because "carte" is feminine and requires an "o" instead of an "un"

[Alice982964]

But how can we tell if it's feminine or masculine when it comes to an object?

[Salmaa236]

Same question

[Dani718287]

Most objects are neuter nouns but surely you have to learn them.
