Discursului

Discursului is the genitive-dative singular form of the Romanian noun discurs, which denotes a speech, a formal address, or a broader notion of discourse. As a grammatical form, discursului does not function as a separate lexical entry; it appears in constructions that express possession or an indirect object, such as sensul discursului (the meaning of the discourse) or conținutul discursului (the content of the speech).

Morphology and usage

The base word is discurs (masculine). Its plural form is discursuri, and the corresponding genitive-dative plural is discursurilor. Typical uses of discursului include phrases that refer to what belongs to the discourse or what relates to it, for example: sensul discursului, conținutul discursului, impactul discursului asupra publicului. This form is common in written and formal Romanian, especially in analytical or descriptive contexts.

Etymology and senses

Discurs is borrowed from French discours, which in turn derives from Latin via historical development. In Romanian, the term covers both a spoken address delivered to an audience and a broader notion of spoken or written discourse, including the structure and content of arguments, narratives, or academic discussions. The form discursului appears in contexts that require a genitive or dative relation to another noun, such as a topic, a critique, or an analysis.

Usage notes

Discursului is used in standard Romanian to indicate possession or association with a specific discourse. It should be distinguished from the adjective discursiv (discursive) and from other related terms such as prezentarea or argumentația, which refer to elements of a speech rather than the discourse itself.
