elevilor

Elevilor is a Romanian noun form that functions as the genitive/dative plural of elev, meaning the students. The base noun elev is masculine and borrowed from the French élève, with the plural nominative elevi. In Romanian, the genitive/dative plural elevilor is used to indicate possession or to mark the indirect object in a sentence, often after prepositions that require the genitive or when expressing “to/for the students.”

Morphology and usage

- Singular: elev (nominative), elevului (genitive/dative)

- Plural: elevi (nominative), elevilor (genitive/dative)

Elevilor appears in contexts such as possession (the students’ something) or as the indirect object of a verb or preposition. Examples include:

- O carte pentru elevilor. (A book for the students.)

- Profesorul a vorbit cu elevilor. (The teacher spoke with the students.)

- Rezultatele elevilor au fost analizate. (The students’ results were analyzed.)

- Destinata elevilor, lucrarea este finalizată. (The work is intended for the students.)

Notes

- Elevilor is a formal, standard form common in written Romanian and in situations requiring precise grammatical case marking. In everyday speech, speakers may use less formal structures, but elevilor remains correct when the genitive/dative plural is required.

- Related forms include elev, elevului, elevi, and the plural possessive sense is typically conveyed with elevilor or the noun phrase as a whole, depending on context.
