Descrierile

Descrierile is the definite plural form of the Romanian noun descriere, meaning “the descriptions.” The noun descriere is feminine and denotes an act of describing or a textual description. The plural form is descrieri, and when used with the definite article it becomes descrierile, indicating “the descriptions.” This pattern—adding a definite article to the end of the plural noun—is characteristic of Romanian grammar.

Etymology traces descriere to Latin descriptio, with the word entering Romanian through the medieval development of the language. The term has been in continuous use in Romanian literature and discourse to refer to descriptive content, lists of features, or narratives that describe objects, places, or events.

In usage, descrierile refer to the set of descriptions that have already been identified or are assumed to be known in a given context. It is commonly found in formal or written Romanian, such as academic texts, reports, or descriptive sections of prose. Example: “Descrierile locurilor vizitate au fost incluse în raport,” meaning the descriptions of the places visited were included in the report. The form can also function as a title or heading when capitalized, for instance as a collection or section name: Descrierile.
