folosire

Folosire is a Romanian noun meaning the act of using or utilization. It denotes the process by which something is employed to achieve a purpose, including tools, resources, information, or services. The term is formed from the verb a folosi (to use) with the nominalizing suffix -ire, and it is a feminine noun.

In usage, folosire appears across contexts—from everyday conversation to technical or legal texts. It can refer to general use as well as to particular patterns or manners of employing something. In many contexts, synonyms such as utilizare may be used, with nuanced differences: utilizare tends to be more formal or technical, while folosire emphasizes the act of using itself.

The word is widely used in technology, industry, environment, and policy discussions to describe how resources, equipment, or data are used, or to express ideas of sustainable or responsible use. It also forms part of common phrases such as “folosire responsabilă” (responsible use) in discussions about resource management and ethics. Overall, folosire serves as a versatile, neutral term for referring to the act or process of using something. See also utilizare.
