You can say: "Minunată Cleopatra"/ Cleopatra eşti minunată! if you are referring to her physical qualities or if she is very good in what is doing.
or you can say : "Uimitoare Cleopatra/ Cleopatra eşti uimitoare ! if she is exceptional , if she is incredible.
Hope you understood my explanation![]()
thanks! (i'm making a video about her) i think I'll use "Uimitoare Cleopatra"![]()
You're welcome !
I just have a little correction...It's Uimitoarea Cleopatra, and I'll explain you why too:
The translated title is "The amazing Cleopatra". Usually, in Romanian, the adjective comes after the noun, but the sometimes the places are switched to emphasize the adjective or because of the article, if the noun is a name. What's up with the article? well...
In Romanian that "the" in the title is "glued" to one of the terms (the noun usually) and it's called an article. The article for feminine nouns is "-a" and the one for masculine nouns is "-ul". BUT, the names can't be articulated, so in consequence the places in the sentence (or title) are switched (noun+adj. becomes adj.+ noun) and the article gets "glued" to the adjective...So this is why we got Uimitoarea Cleopatra.
Other examples:
-" frumoasa fată" (the beautiful girl) instead of "fata frumoasă"
-"curajosul băiat" (the brave boy) instead of "băiatul curajos"
Hope you guys understood.

"Life is not about the numbers of breaths you take, but more about the moments which take your breath away"...
I have always wondered this about names. Sometimes I see Cleo's name written as Cleopatrei and Pavel as Pavele. Is that what you're talking about?
This is not the sameYou see, when you say 'Cleopatrei', the word is in genitive case.
'Pavele' is in vocative case.
here are other examples, so you can understand better:
GENITIVE CASE
Maria - Mariei
Andreea - Andreei
Ioana - Ioanei
In case of male names, it goes like this:
Marian - Lui Marian
Andrei - Lui Andrei
.. and so on. - just in case of names. If you're referring to objects, here's what the words look like:
creion (pencil) - creionului
ziar (newspaper) - ziarului
etc.
VOCATIVE CASE:
Marian - Mariane!
Alin - Aline!
It's important that you know that you're not obligated to use the vocative case. You can simply say 'Pavel' or 'Marian'. The use of vocative case is often considered old fashioned nowadays, and people usually just say the plain name when calling somebody.
exactlyshe explained it perfectly!
Oh, thanks countingstars! I'm so happy I could help !
