Ideile

Ideile is the definite plural form of the Romanian noun idee, meaning "the idea" in English. It is used to refer to a set or collection of ideas that is identifiable within a discourse, or to the ideas of a person, a text, or a project. In Romanian, the noun idee is feminine; its indefinite plural is idei, and its definite plural is ideile. The suffix -le marks definiteness in the plural.

Etymology and form: The Romanian word idee is a loanword that comes from French idee (ultimately from Latin idea). The language forms the definite plural ideile by adding the definite plural suffix -ile to the plural idei, a common pattern in Romanian for indicating the definite article in the plural.

Usage: Ideile are commonly used in academic writing, philosophy, journalism, and everyday language to discuss specific ideas that have been mentioned or are being argued. Examples include phrases like ideile principale ale unei teorii (the main ideas of a theory) or autorul își dezvoltă ideile în eseu (the author develops his ideas in the essay).
