citiri

Citiri (plural of citire) is a Romanian noun that designates the act of reading or the texts that are read. It is the plural form of citire and can refer to different readings of a text—either an individual act of reading or the set of readings planned for a given occasion. In liturgical contexts, citiri are the scriptural passages appointed to be read during worship, often grouped into cycles. In education and publishing, citiri may denote assigned readings or reading lists used to structure study.

The word derives from the verb a citi (to read) and the nominalizing suffix -ire. Related forms include citire (the act of reading) and cititor (reader). In literary and textual analysis, citire can also mean an interpretation or reading of a text, i.e., how a text is understood rather than just how it is read aloud.

The plural citiri is used without capitalization. The term is common in Romanian-language contexts dealing with text, literature, religion, and education.

Example: Slujbele includ citiri din Vechiul și Noul Testament. Planul de citiri pentru semestru a fost prezentat de profesor.
