asigur

Asigur is a Romanian verb meaning to guarantee, to ensure, or to insure. It is used in contexts of protection against risk, securing a result, or providing insurance coverage. The verb is transitive and can take a direct object, as in a asigura ceva, and it also appears in reflexive form a se asigura, meaning to make sure or to insure oneself.

In the present indicative, the forms are: eu asigur, tu asiguri, el/ea asigură, noi asigurăm, voi asigurați, ei/ele asigură. The infinitive is a asigura and the past tenses follow standard Romanian patterns for the verb class it belongs to. The noun derived from the same root is asigurare, meaning insurance or guarantee. Related terms include asigurător (insurer/guarantor) and asigurare de viață (life insurance).

Usage notes: a asigura can denote providing security or coverage for a person, a property, or an obligation. In business and legal language, it often corresponds to “to guarantee” or “to insure against.” The reflexive form a se asigura is common in everyday speech to express taking precautions, e.g., a te asigura că ai documentele necesare.

Etymology: the Romanian word is linked to the root sigur meaning safe or certain, and the noun asigurare (insurance/guarantee) shares this origin. The verb is widely used across domains such as insurance, law, finance, and general discourse to denote certainty, protection, or coverage.
