elevului

Elevului is a Romanian grammatical form, specifically the genitive and dative singular of the noun elev, which means pupil or student. In use, elevului signals possession or an indirect object, for example in phrases like carpea elevului? Wait, no. The correct examples are: car­ta elevului (the pupil’s book) and am vorbit cu elevul (I spoke with the pupil). The form elevului thus appears in noun phrases that convey ownership or recipient.

The base word elev refers to a student typically in primary or secondary school, and the term is common in educational, administrative, and literary contexts. Elev is widely used in formal and informal Romanian to denote a student.

Morphology and related forms: elev is masculine; in the singular the definite form is elevul, and elevului is the genitive/dative singular. The plural forms include elevi (nominative), elevii (definite nominative), and elevilor (genitive/dative plural). Other related words include elevare (not a standard derived noun in Romanian), and the verb a eleva, meaning to educate or to train.

Etymology: elev derives from the French élève, via Romanian linguistic contact with French in education and culture. The form elevului reflects Romanian noun declension patterns for masculine nouns ending in -v with the definite article and suffixes for genitive/dative cases.

In summary, elevului is a case form used to express ownership or an indirect object related to a pupil, and it appears in phrases describing the pupil’s belongings or actions directed toward the pupil. See also elev, elevii, and a eleva for related terminology.
