agenilor

Agenilor is a Romanian noun form derived from the word agent. It represents the genitive/dative plural form of the noun, used in contexts where the sentence requires possession or an indirect object. In contrast, the basic (nominative) plural is agenți, and the definite plural is agenții. The form agenilor appears in phrases or clauses that demand the genitive or dative case, typically after prepositions or verbs that govern those cases.

In practice, agenilor functions to indicate “of the agents” or “to/for the agents,” depending on the syntactic construction. It is primarily found in formal, written, or legal-style language and may occur in historical or bureaucratic texts. As with other Romanian noun forms, its use is determined by grammatical role rather than by meaning alone.

Relation to related terms:

- agent: the base singular form.

- agenți: nominative/accusative plural (the agents).

- agenții: definite plural (the agents).

- agenție: agency, a related noun with a different meaning and declension pattern.

Notes:

- Romanian nouns decline for number and case through genitive/dative forms rather than a broad case system; agenilor is one such oblique plural form.

- Correct usage depends on context and prepositions that require genitive or dative forms.
