Infrastructurii

Infrastructurii is the genitive/dative singular form of the Romanian noun infrastructură, which denotes infrastructure. Infrastructură refers to the fundamental facilities and systems needed for the operation of a country, city, or organization, including physical networks such as transport, energy, water and sewage, as well as digital networks and social facilities like schools and hospitals. Infrastructurii appears in phrases where infrastructure is the object or possessor, for example: rolul infrastructurii (the role of the infrastructure) or finanțarea infrastructurii (the funding of the infrastructure).

In everyday Romanian, the base form infrastructură is used for most purposes, with infrastructurii occurring when agreement requires the genitive or dative case. After prepositions that govern a particular case, forms can vary; for instance, you may encounter din infrastructură (from infrastructure) or finanțarea infrastructurii (funding of the infrastructure). The choice of form depends on syntactic role rather than a distinct lexical entry.

Etymology and scope: infrastructură comes from Latin infrastructura, via French and other Romance languages, with the suffix -ură forming a feminine abstract noun. The concept of infrastructure encompasses physical, organizational, and digital components that support economic activity, public services, and resilience against hazards. In Romanian usage, infrastructurii is a grammatical form tied to infrastructură, not a separate term with a different meaning.
