Românei

Românei is not a widely recognized or standard ethnonym in Romanian. It does not denote a distinct ethnic or political group in commonly used linguistic or encyclopedic references. In Romanian, the people of Romania are ordinarily referred to as români (plural) or român/română (singular, with feminine forms româncă and română). The definite plural forms are românii (men and mixed groups) and româncele (women), while feminine plurals such as românce refer to Romanian women.

In practice, românei can appear in texts as a nonstandard or context-dependent form. It may arise as a grammatical variant in certain cases, or result from misapplication of declension rules, diacritic errors, or typographical mistakes. Because Romanian uses diacritics (â, ă, î, ș, ț), non-diacritic rendering or inconsistent orthography can produce forms that look like românei but do not correspond to a standard word or recognized plural or case. As such, românei should not be treated as an independent identifier for a population.

If encountered in literature or discussions, românei is best understood as a potential misspelling, a nonstandard/informal variant, or a context-specific grammatical form rather than a separate designation. For clear reference to the Romanian people, use români (or român/română in singular) and românii/româncele for definite forms.
