controleaza

Controlează, or increasingly written as controleaza without diacritics, is a Romanian verb form derived from the verb a controla. It expresses the act of exercising control or supervision over someone or something, as well as the act of checking, regulating, or verifying a process, a budget, a system, or a situation. The word is widely used in everyday language as well as in technical, administrative, and legal contexts.

Etymology and scope: A controla is a Romance loanword in Romanian, with cognates in other Romance languages such as French contrôler and Italian controllare. In Romanian usage, the term covers a range of meanings from babysitting or policing a task to ensuring compliance, quality, or safety within an organization or procedure.

Grammatical notes: In present tense, the verb forms include eu controlez, tu controlezi, el/ea controlează, noi controlăm, voi controlați, ei/ele controlează. The form controlează is used for the third person (singular) and, in some contexts, can appear in the same spelling for other persons depending on sentence structure; context clarifies the subject. The form can also function as an imperative: controlează! when addressing a single person, though imperative forms vary with mood and person.

Usage and nuance: Controlo may refer to direct oversight of people or tasks, regulatory oversight, or internal checks such as financial controls, quality control, or compliance verification. It is often contrasted with related terms like verifica (to verify), monitoriza (to monitor), and reglementa (to regulate).
