Institutelor

Institutelor is the genitive‑plural form of the Romanian noun institut, which means “institution” or “institute.” In Romanian grammar it is used to express possession or association for more than one institute. The suffix -elor marks the genitive case for plural nouns, thereby signalling that something belongs to or relates to the institutes in question. A common construction is unu dintre institutelor (one of the institutes) or beneficiile institutelor (the benefits of the institutes).

The noun institut is a masculine noun that follows the regular declension pattern for nouns ending in –ut. Its nominative plural is institut, but the genitive‑plural becomes institutelor. In written communication, the term often appears in legal, administrative, and academic texts where multiple institutes are referenced collectively. For instance, a report might state că rezultatele obținute de la institutelor de cercetare moderne (the results obtained from modern research institutes).

In everyday speech, institutelor is less frequently used in isolation but usually appears in relative phrases such as „pe ale institutelor medicale” (of the medical institutes). It is also employed in possessive pronouns: „domeniile institutelor” (the domains of the institutes).

Thus, institutelor functions as a grammatical tool that allows speakers and writers to convey plural possession or affiliation with institutions within Romanian. It exemplifies the rich inflectional morphology of Romanian, particularly the case system that distinguishes between nominative, genitive, dative, and other grammatical cases.
