"sucul"

Translation: the juice

[dekoboko_]

The juice is succulent (I probably should stop...)

[Frisskakas]

When I was a child we called something else "suc" it was fruit syrup and seltzer water. Possibly because finding juice was not likely. Not to be depressing, but it might be a usage that is still in use, I'm not sure. If you want to try it, use a jigger of grenadine and mix with 8 oz of high quality sparkling water. Yummy.

I am assuming that from observation when a "ul" is put after the word the indeffenite article the is put before it. I've seen this with words such as ,copiul barbatul, baitul, sucul etc.

[CxSidhe]

Yes, and from what I've gathered it's for male words :)
So if you say a child, it's un copil and the child is copilul. Child is a masculine word. But bread is a feminine word so it's o pâine and pâinea (an a is used to add "the instead of an "l" or "ul"

[Vladan732191]

Did you mean deffinite article, like 'the' in English?

[Bianca1234879618]

Yes

[BrasovDesign]

exactly

[zengo7]

I love how I can just perfectly remember the word suc just because I find it funny lmao

[HuiMeiquan]

Mark, give me the succ XD

[Claz49]

I wrote 'The juice' and it said I was incorrect??

[xunior01]

Same with me

[ZiqtRL]

Again in last lesson answer was a juice now is the juice.

[curcubeu...]

suc is 'juice' and sucul is 'the juice'

[Veryounique]

Sucul is the question. I wrote "the juice" and it was "a glass of juice". How do i know when it's in a glass?

[zappycat818]

I dont understand, when do you add the ul vs. the ele thingy

[BrasovDesign]

ul is the definite article suffix for masculine words.

juice = suc

the juice = sucul

ele is the definite article suffix for plural for some words, usually with feminine plural
e.g.

balena = the whale

balenele = the whales

for suc, the plural is sucurile

[mihaitruta]

The juice is loose

[Maximyn]

Is the pronunciation on duo correct?

[BrasovDesign]

Usually, no :)

[PetarPanayotov]

Yes it sounds correct

[Conor697532]

Since -sucul- is also -the soda-, would you say something like -sucul Coca Cola- or -sucul Mountain Dew- to say Coca Cola or Mountain Dew? (Sau sucul Compot şi sucul Socată?)

[BrasovDesign]

1. Suc(ul) Coca Cola / suc(ul) Mountain Dew. It is gramatically correct but such an elaborate construction is almost never used in day to day speach :)

2. sucul Compot şi sucul Socată . Although these are a kind of juices, nobody ever refers to them as "sucul compot" or "sucul socată". You simply say "compot/compotul", "socată/socata".

[NilsNiendorf]

Does this have the same system as the Nordic languages, where the definite article is added as a suffix?

[186.Eb4to1LJgnhF]

Yes. See https://duome.eu/tips/en/ro section on Definite Article for Singular
