Geamurile

Geamurile is the definite plural form of the Romanian noun geam, which means window. In Romanian grammar, geam is masculine; its plural is geamuri, and the definite plural is geamurile, used to refer to a specific set of windows (the windows). The word is common in everyday speech as well as in technical and architectural contexts.

Geamurile are described and specified by various qualifiers, such as material (lemn, PVC, aluminiu), glazing type (geamuri termopan for double-glazed windows), opening mechanism, or energy performance. In construction, real estate, and interior design, phrases like geamuri termopan, geamuri din lemn, or geamuri panoramice appear to distinguish different fenestration options.

Cultural and architectural use emphasizes the role of windows in light, ventilation, and energy efficiency. Modern Romanian buildings frequently employ double-glazed geamuri to improve insulation and soundproofing, while traditional structures may use wooden geamuri with simple sash designs. The term also appears in literature and everyday speech to describe the windows of houses, rooms, or vehicles.

Etymology for geam is rooted in Romanian vocabulary with historical influences from neighboring languages, though the term is now firmly established in standard Romanian. Related terms include fereastră, the more general word for window, with ferestre as its plural form.
