"This is the speech of the candidate."

Translation: Acesta este discursul candidatului.

[RGanel]

Why isn't the sentence starting with "asta e..." also correct? Isn't it the same as "aceasta este..."?

[GeoMan2]

Ja, aber unhöflich. Und ist "ăsta", nicht asta...

[Andrei926539]

Use English or Romanian, please. While "ăsta" is correct, bear in mind that "ăsta", "asta", "ăla", etc are pretty informal and may even considered rude in some contexts.
