When you're describing something that's empty in Romanian, you'll use the word gol. Think of it like describing a glass that has no water in it, or a room that has no furniture. It's a very straightforward word, and you'll find it useful in many everyday situations. Remember, it's an adjective, so it will change its ending to match the noun it describes, just like other adjectives in Romanian.
