discul

Discul is a Romanian noun that functions as the definite article form of the masculine noun disc, meaning “the disc” or “the disk.” It is used to refer to a specific circular, flat object mentioned previously or assumed in context. The base noun disc covers a range of disk-like objects, including physical discs and round objects in geometry or everyday usage.

Etymology and grammar: The word disc derives from the Latin discus, through the development of the Romanian noun disc. Romanian forms the definite noun with a suffix, so disc becomes discul in the singular definite. The gender is masculine. The plural indefinite form is discuri, while the definite plural form is discurile.

Usage and examples: In ordinary text, discul appears in statements about a particular disk. For example: “Discul este rotund.” (The disc is round.) “Am așezat discul pe masă.” (I placed the disc on the table.) In technical or scientific writing, it can refer to any disk-like component or object previously identified in the discussion.
