Recenziilor

Recenziilor is the genitive and dative plural form of the Romanian noun recenzie, meaning “the reviews” or “of the reviews.” The base noun recenzie denotes a critical or evaluative written assessment of a book, product, performance, or other subject. The singular is recenzie, the plural nominative recenzii, and the genitive/dative plural form is recenziilor.

In Romanian, these case forms are used to express possession or indirect relation in phrases such as autorul recenziilor (the author of the reviews) or calitatea recenziilor (the quality of the reviews). The form recenziilor is not typically used as the subject or direct object; instead, one would use recenzii or recenziile depending on definiteness and position in the sentence.

Etymology: recenzie comes from earlier Romance language forms, ultimately from Latin recensere “to review, to recount”; in Romanian it was adopted through contact with French and other Romance languages, where similar words exist (recension, recensione). Over time, recenzie broadened to mean a written critique of a work, and recenziilor is the plural genitive/dative used in contexts requiring a case ending.

Usage context: The word appears mainly in formal or written Romanian, including journalism, literary criticism, academic writing, and product or service evaluations when discussing multiple reviews in possessive or indirect constructions. For everyday speech, speakers usually use the plural form recenzii or the definite form recenziile.
