Poza

Poza is the informal Romanian noun for a photograph or picture. The standard spelling with diacritics is poză, while poza is commonly used in informal writing and online contexts where diacritics are omitted. The term refers to any image captured by a camera, typically a digital photograph from a phone or camera, and shared or displayed in various media.

In Romanian grammar, poză is feminine and singular; the plural form is poze. The indefinite article uses a phrase such as o poză for “a photo.” Common sentences include: Am făcut o poză (I took a photo), Îmi plac pozele tale (I like your photos), Aceasta este poza mea (This is my photo). In casual language, poza is frequently used in captions, messages, and social media posts to refer to images.

Usage and context: Poza is prevalent in everyday speech and digital communication. It is the casual counterpart to the more formal cuvânt fotografie, which designates the act or product of photography in a broader, more official sense. On social networks and messaging apps, poza appears in user profiles, albums, and posts as a simple, accessible way to denote imagery.

See also: poză, fotografie. While poza serves informal communication, fotografia remains the standard term in formal writing and technical contexts.
