Cititorilor

Cititorilor is the genitive/dative plural form of cititor, a Romanian noun meaning reader. It translates as “of the readers” or “to/for the readers,” depending on the syntactic role in the sentence. In usage, cititorilor marks possession by a plural group of readers or indicates an indirect object phrase involving readers.

Cititor is a masculine noun. Its nominative plural is cititori, while the genitive/dative plural is cititorilor. The feminine counterpart for a group of female readers is cititoarelor, used in the same genitive/dative role. This distinction helps indicate gender of the referents when precision is required, though in generic references to readers the masculine form is often used by convention.

Usage examples include:

- Răspunsul cititorilor a fost pozitiv. (The readers’ response was positive.)

- Cartea destinată cititorilor. (The book intended for the readers.)

- Recenziile cititorilor au fost publicate. (The readers’ reviews were published.)

Etymology and related forms:

Cititor originates from Latin lector, via the Romanian evolution of the word. The form cititorilor reflects standard Romanian inflection for masculine nouns in genitive/dative plural. Related terms include cititoare (reader, feminine), and phrases like cititorului or cititoarelor to indicate possession or indirect objects for singular or plural groups, respectively.

In publishing and media contexts, cititorilor commonly appears in headlines, editorial notes, and reader feedback sections to denote collective readers or to attribute content to the audience.
