Cauzele

Cauzele is a Romanian noun meaning "the causes." It is the plural form of cauza, a feminine noun meaning reason or cause. In Romanian, the full declension is: singular — nominative/accusative: cauza; genitive/dative: cauzei. Plural — nominative/accusative: cauzele; genitive/dative: cauzelor. Thus cauzele is used as the subject or direct object in a sentence in the plural, or after prepositions that require the genitive/dative.

Etymology: cauzele derives from Latin causa and is cognate with related words in other Romance languages (e.g., Spanish causa, Italian causa, French cause).

Usage: cauzele is used in academic, legal, medical, historical, and everyday contexts to refer to the reasons or factors behind events or conditions. It often appears with modifiers such as cauzele economice (economic causes), cauzele unui accident, or in phrases like identificarea cauzelor.

Examples:

- Cauzele incendiului sunt în curs de cercetare.

- Cercetătorii au prezentat cauzele problemelor economice.
