Lotului

Lotului is the genitive/dative singular form of the Romanian masculine noun lot. In Romanian, lot covers several related senses: a parcel of land or plot; a batch or set of items produced or sold together; and a group of people selected for a specific purpose, most notably a sports team (for example, a national or Olympic squad).

The form lotului appears in constructions that require the genitive or dative case or after prepositions that govern those cases. Examples include componența lotului olimpic (the composition of the Olympic team), un membru al lotului (a member of the team), and din lotului (from the team). In everyday language, lotului is the standard way to express possessive or relational meaning related to the noun lot when used in these cases.

Across its senses, lot and its inflected form lotului are common in real estate, manufacturing, and sports discourse. In sports, the term frequently identifies a specific group of athletes prepared for competition, with phrases such as lotul național (the national team) or lotul olimpic (the Olympic squad). In real estate or commerce, it can designate a defined parcel or batch within a broader sale or planning context.

Overall, lotului functions as a grammatical variant essential for linking or specifying relations to the broader concept of a lot, whether it denotes land, items, or people.
