citit

Citit is a Romanian term that can refer to the act of reading or to the past participle of the verb a citi (to read). As a noun, citit denotes the act or experience of reading. In contemporary Romanian, citire is more commonly used to name the act of reading, but citit also appears in certain contexts, especially in literary or historical language.

As a participle, citit functions as an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies. For example: un text citit (a text read, masculine singular), carte citită (a book read, feminine singular), cărți citite (read books, feminine plural). This agreement follows standard Romanian participle usage, where the ending changes to reflect gender and number.

Usage and nuance: Citit is typically encountered in older or more formal styles and in phrases that emphasize the act of reading or a text that has already been read. In everyday language, citire is often preferred when referring to reading as an activity, as in "citirea cărților este importantă" (the act of reading books is important).
