Masurilor

Măsurilor is the genitive and dative plural form of măsură, a Romanian noun meaning a measure, step, or policy. The nominative plural is măsuri, while the singular is măsură. The form masurilor appears in non-diacritic texts.

Origin and sense

Măsură originates from Latin mensura and has developed from a concrete notion of measurement to include broader notions of policy, action, or administrative steps. In modern Romanian, măsură can denote both a physical measurement and an official action intended to achieve a goal, such as public safety, health, or regulatory compliance. The plural forms reflect different grammatical cases rather than distinct meanings.

Usage and context

Masurilor is used when the noun is in the genitive or dative case, often in formal or legal and administrative contexts. Common constructions include phrases like asupra măsurilor luate (regarding the measures taken) or ale măsurilor de siguranță (of the security measures). In everyday language, the nominative plural măsuri is more frequent, as in măsurile fiscale (the fiscal measures) or măsurile de protecție (the protection measures). The term frequently appears in governmental, legal, and policy documents, where it denotes specific actions designed to regulate, restrict, or facilitate outcomes.

Orthography

In properly diacritized Romanian, the correct form is măsurilor. In contexts where diacritics are omitted, masurilor is used. Romanian orthography distinguishes măsura (singular), măsură (plural), and măsurilor (genitive/dative plural).
