Nouns which in their dictionary form (singular, nominative, with no article) end in a consonant or in vowel/semivowel u are mostly masculine or neuter; if they end in ă or a they are usually feminine.
Romanian dative phrases have the particularity called clitic doubling similar to that in Spanish, in which the noun in the dative is doubled by a pronoun.
There are situations in Romanian when the noun in the genitive requires the presence of the so-called genitival (or possesive) article (see for example the section "Genitive" in "Romanian nouns"), somewhat similar to the English preposition of, for example in a map of China.

Romanian, however only partly conforms to the Roamnce pattern in that it presentes a clear examples of e-nominal where only the subject is overtly expressed.
The significance of the Romanian supine NS structure for the theory of nominalizationsand for comparative studies is considerable: a) For the more limited Romance domain, Kupferman's Generalization in (1) is disproved The supine NS structure clearly disproves the generalization that the subjective Genitive of a transitive deverbal noun always marks a non-event reading in Romance.

If the noun proposed for inflection belongs to the set of irregular words then all the flections immediately appear on the screen; otherwise, for each affix a special procedure of noun inflection is selected.
If the key-affix belongs to the absolute regular set of nouns or adjectives (to be inflected without the user's interference), then the specified word is declined in accordance with the inflection model found.
If the key-affix belongs to the set of partial regular nouns or adjectives, it is necessary to select the appropriate alternation rules from several possible variants.

This study analyzes the formation of Romanian agent nouns and present participles.
For instance, it is shown that Romanian verbal expressions that are lexically related and share certain aspectual features must have identical stem allomorphs.
The empirical advantage of the formulation of exponence conditions in terms of phonological correspondence, rather than spell-out, is that correspondence chains can be established: [X] corresponds to [Y] because they share syntactic feature F1; [Y] corresponds to [Z] because they share F2; and then [X] corresponds to [Z] even if they share no feature.
