datoria

Datoria is a Romanian noun that functions as the definite form of datorie, meaning an obligation or a debt. In Romanian, the word is used in legal, financial, and everyday contexts to denote something a person is bound to do, repay, or fulfill. Its sense can encompass monetary liabilities as well as broader duties.

In legal and financial language, datoria refers to a binding obligation that arises from law or contract. This can include the obligation to pay a debt, to honor a contract, or to perform a specified duty. In everyday speech, the term can also express moral or social duties, such as obligations toward family or community.

The term is closely tied to the broader concept of datorie, and it appears in phrases that describe the fulfillment or enforcement of responsibilities. The plural form datorii is used when referring to multiple obligations or debts, while the possessive or transactional senses are expressed through related constructions in Romanian grammar.

Translations into English typically render datoria as “the debt” or “the obligation,” depending on context. The word is a common element in legal documents, financial discourse, and ethical discussions in Romanian-language texts.
