Utilizare

Utilizare is a Romanian noun meaning the act or result of using something; in English, it is typically rendered as use or utilization. The term is derived from the verb utiliza (to utilize) and belongs to a family of words formed with the suffix -izare. In standard Romanian, utilizare is common in technical, academic, and administrative writing, while folosire is a broader synonym used in everyday speech. The definite form utilizarea is used when the noun appears with the definite article (for example, utilizarea resurselor).

In practical terms, utilizarea describes how resources, systems, or processes are employed. Examples include utilizarea resurselor

Etymologically, utilizare is linked to the Latin root utilis through Romanian development of verbs of utilization,

utilizarea
energiei,
and
