dobândi

Dobândi is a Romanian verb meaning to obtain, acquire, or come into possession of something, usually through effort, purchase, inheritance, or other means. It is transitive and commonly used with objects such as rights, property, knowledge, or contracts. In formal or official language, one speaks of dobândirea unui drept, a dobândi avere or a dobândi experiență. The act can refer to legal, economic, educational, or administrative contexts. The noun form is dobândire, meaning acquisition or obtaining; the past participle is dobândit (masc.) / dobândită (fem.).

The term is often preferred in contexts that imply merit, formal procedure, or significance, and it can appear in legal documents, contracts, academic writing, and news reporting. It contrasts with obține, a obține, which is more common in everyday language and can carry a broader, less formal sense of obtaining.

Conjugation follows standard Romanian patterns. The verb forms include am dobândit (perfect compus), voi dobândi (viitor), and present forms such as eu dobândesc, tu dobândești, el dobândește, noi dobândim, voi dobândiți, ei dobândesc. The adjective and noun derivatives, such as dobânditor/dobânditoare (one who acquires) or dobândire (acquisition), appear in related contexts.

Examples: Elevul a dobândit cunoștințe noi în timpul cursului. Compania a dobândit un contract important. A dobândi se poate referi la dobândirea unui drept, a unei averi sau a unei competențe, indicând un proces de obținere care poate rezulta din contribuție, negocieri sau circumstanțe.
