Convingeri

Convingeri is the plural form of convingere, a Romanian noun that refers to beliefs, convictions, or strongly held opinions by a person or group. The term can denote the content of what someone believes as well as the degree of assurance attached to those beliefs, often with moral, political, or religious significance.

In everyday usage, convingere and its plural convingeri emphasize the substance of what is believed rather than the act of persuading. The plural convingeri is commonly used when discussing the set of beliefs held by an individual, a community, or a movement. The word is related to the verb a convinge (to persuade) and to other terms for opinion or faith, such as credințe, opinii or păreri, though convingeri specifically highlights conviction and tenacity of belief.

Usage examples include: convingerile politice ale alegătorilor (the political convictions of voters) and convingerile religioase ale unui grup (the religious beliefs of a group). People might change or strengthen their convingeri in light of new information or experiences, a process described with phrases like a își poate schimba convingerile.

Etymology generally ties convingere to the broader family of words around conviction and persuasion, but in most contexts convingeri functions as a noun describing what someone believes, rather than the act of persuading others.
