inteniilor

Intențiilor is the genitive plural form of the Romanian noun intenție, which denotes an aim, purpose, plan, or motive behind an action. In everyday and formal language, the term is used to refer to what someone intends to do or to the underlying reasons for certain actions. The standard spelling with diacritics is intențiilor; when diacritics are omitted, variations such as intențiilor or intentiilor may appear, but intențiilor is the normative form in proper Romanian orthography.

Etymology and scope: intenție originates from Latin intentio, through the historical development of Romanian. The concept encompasses conscious aims, planned outcomes, and the motives that guide behavior. In addition to personal intent, it is common in legal, political, and organizational contexts to discuss the intențiile unui proiect, a unui acord, sau a unui program, i.e., the intentions of a project, agreement, or program.

Usage notes: intenții are used to distinguish what someone plans to do from the actual behavior or result. In philosophical and psychological writing, the term often appears in discussions of intentionality and goal-directed action, where intention is treated as a mental state that guides action. Common collocations include intențiile bune (good intentions), intențiile ascunse (hidden intentions), and intențiile guvernului sau ale organizației (the government’s or organization’s intentions).
