afirmat

Afirmat is the past participle of the Romanian verb a afirma, meaning to state or declare. In Romanian grammar, afirmat can function as a participle and as an adjective meaning “stated” or “asserted.” It is used in compound tenses with the auxiliary a fi, appearing in forms such as am afirmat, ai afirmat, and a afirmat.

The participial forms reflect gender and number: afirmat (masculine singular), afirmată (feminine singular), afirmați (masculine plural), and afirmate (feminine plural). As an adjective, afirmat can modify a noun to indicate that something has been asserted or declared in the relevant context, for example in formal or legal prose.

Etymologically, afirmat derives from Latin affirmāre, via Romanian a afirma. It is closely linked to the noun afirmație, which denotes an assertion or statement, and to the verb a afirma itself. In usage, afirmat often appears in official documents, reports, and journalistic writing to designate statements that have been asserted in sources or proceedings. It is less common in everyday speech, where simpler constructions of the verb are typically preferred.

See also: afirmație, a afirma. Examples of related phrases include statements that have been afirmate or afirmate în raport, depending on the syntactic needs of the sentence. Overall, afirmat serves as a standard participle form in Romanian for describing past assertions or declared points in formal language.
