detaliilor

Detaliilor is the genitive (or dative) plural form of the Romanian noun detaliu, which means a detail, element, or specific point of a larger object or concept. In standard usage, detaliu refers to a small component or a particular aspect, while detalii is the plural nominative form used in many everyday contexts. Detaliilor appears in phrases where the noun is in the genitive or dative case, typically indicating possession or relation, such as “detaliilor proiectului” (the details of the project).

Etymology and form. Detaliu originates from the French word detail, via Romanian linguistic history. The noun developed a full Romanian inflectional paradigm, with detaliul as the definite singular, detalii as the plural, and detaliului (singular genitive/dative) and detaliilor (plural genitive/dative) as the corresponding forms in those cases. The genitive/dative plural detaliilor is thus a standard inflected form used in formal constructions.

Usage and semantic range. Detaliilor is primarily a grammatical form found in written Romanian, especially in formal, technical, legal, or academic text. It marks relationships of possession, association, or specification involving multiple details. In everyday speech, speakers more often use the uninflected plural detalii or the definite plural detaliile when referring to “the details,” whereas detaliilor functions as a link to other words in a sentence that require the genitive or dative case.

See also and related terms. Related forms include detaliu (singular), detalii (plural), and detaliile (definite plural). The term is closely connected to concepts such as minutiae, aspects, and components, and to the broader Romanian vocabulary for describing parts of a whole.

Note: As with many Romanian noun forms, correct usage depends on the syntactic role of the phrase within the sentence and the governing case.
