Substituit

Substituit is a Romanian term used as the masculine singular past participle and as an adjective derived from the verb a substitui, meaning to substitute or replace. It denotes that something has been replaced by another item or version. The feminine singular is substituită; the masculine plural substituiți; the feminine plural substituite. The related noun for the act of substitution is substituție.

In grammar and everyday language, substituit describes a state in which a component or element has been replaced. For example, in a rewritten text one might refer to a “cuvânt substituit” (a substituted word) or to an “elementul substituit” (the substituted element). In technical contexts such as mathematics, computing, or chemistry, the term can be used to indicate that a variable, symbol, or reagent has been replaced by another.

Origin and related forms: substituit derives from Latin through the Romanian verb substitui. The noun form substituție is used to name the act or process of substitution. While substituit can function as an adjective or past participle, it is not commonly used as a stand-alone noun.

Usage notes: in Romanian, gender and number agreement is important: substituită (feminine sing.), substituiți (masculin plural), substituite (feminine plural). When referring to the general process, substituție is preferred; substituit emphasizes a completed replacement of a specific element.
