armoniilor

Armoniilor is the genitive plural form of the Romanian noun armonie, meaning harmony in music and in a broader sense as balance or concord among parts. In Romanian, armonie is a feminine noun borrowed from French harmonie (and ultimately from Greek harmonia). The word armoniilor appears when referring to multiple harmonies as the object or possessor in a sentence.

Morphology and forms. Armonie in singular is used as armonie (nominative/accusative), with genitive/dative singular armoniei. In the plural, the nominative/accusative form is armonii, while the genitive/dative plural is armoniilor. This pattern—singular armonie, plural armonii, genitive plural armoniilor—is typical for feminine nouns ending in -ie in Romanian.

Usage and context. Armoniilor is primarily a grammatical form used in contexts that discuss multiple harmonies in a possessive or relational sense, such as analyses, descriptions, or theoretical discussions in musicology and aesthetics. It can appear in literary or scholarly Romanian when referring to “the harmonies of” or “the harmonies’” something, e.g., in phrases like “analiza armoniilor dintr-o compoziție.” The term is more common in formal writing than in everyday speech, where other constructions might be preferred for clarity.

Etymology. The Romanian term armonie derives from the French harmonie, itself from Latin harmonia and Greek harmonia, reflecting the concept of fitting parts together to form a coherent whole.
