Summary/Abstract: God is the name that we Romanian speakers give to the Deity we believe in. We relate to Him, most of the time, as a person, to make Him accessible. But what if God is not a person? What if, from the start, we make a mistake when we reduce Him to the likeness of us humans? How would He define Himself, from a grammatical point of view? Are the words enough to name Him? In this short article I propose a short foray into the parts of speech of the Romanian language, in order to understand how we could express, in the most appropriate way, God and this harmony that is created between Him and each part of speech.
