Controlorilor

Controlorilor is the genitive/dative plural form of controlor, a masculine Romanian noun borrowed from French contrôleur. The base term denotes a person who exercises control, inspection, or supervision in various contexts, and the plural controlori refers to multiple such individuals. In contemporary Romanian, the most common sense is a ticket inspector on public transport, known as a controlor de bilete, who checks tickets on buses, trams, or trains. The word can also describe inspectors or supervisors in other settings, such as quality control or compliance roles, though in these cases the exact job title is often specified with a domain, e.g., controlor de calitate.

Usage and morphology: The root form is controlor. The plural nominative and accusative is controlorii, while the genitive/dative plural is controlorilor. The genitive/dative singular is controlorului, and other inflected forms follow standard Romanian declension patterns. The form controlorilor appears in phrases such as răspunderea controlorilor (the responsibility of the controllers) or acțiunea controlorilor (the actions of the controllers).

Notes: In isolation, controlorilor is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. Its precise meaning depends on context, and it typically points to a group of individuals performing inspection or supervisory duties. The term is used across several contexts, most prominently in public transport but also in professional settings involving inspection or quality control.
