hardwareului

Hardwareului is a Romanian noun form linked to the English loanword hardware, which in Romanian denotes physical computer components and related equipment. In everyday Romanian, the uninflected term hardware is common, while hardwareul refers specifically to “the hardware.” The form hardwareului is the genitive (or dative) singular of hardwareul, used to express possession or association within noun phrases, such as indicating belonging or relation to the hardware.

Morphology and related forms: hardware → hardwareul (the hardware) → hardwareului (of the hardware, to the hardware). The plural genitive/dative would be hardwareurilor. As with other borrowed terms, spelling and hyphenation may vary by style, but hardwareului typically appears in formal or technical contexts rather than in casual speech.

Usage and style: hardwareului often occurs in phrases that specify a part, attribute, or relation of the hardware, for example in compounds like “proiectul hardwareului” or “componentele hardwareului.” In many cases, writers choose alternative constructions such as explicit possession phrases (for example, “hardware-ul al …”) or more descriptive expressions (for example, “componentele fizice ale computerului”) depending on the style guide and regional preferences. Overall, hardwareului is a legitimate grammatical form for indicating possession or association with hardware within Romanian technical writing.
