interlocutorului

Interlocutorului is the genitive singular and the dative singular form of the Romanian noun interlocutor, which designates the person who takes part in a dialogue or conversation. In Romanian, interlocutor refers to the conversational partner or counterpart in a discussion. The base form is interlocutor; the plural nominative and accusative is interlocutorii, while the genitive/dative plural is interlocutorilor.

Etymology and usage context: The term derives from Latin interloquor, meaning to speak between, and entered Romanian through the broader family of romance languages. In Romanian texts, interlocutorul denotes the immediate partner in a dialogue, and interlocutorului appears in phrases that express possession or indirect objects, for example din partea interlocutorului (on behalf of the interlocutor) or răspunsul interlocutorului (the interlocutor’s reply).

Grammatical note: Interlocutorului is used when you need to indicate possession (the interlocutor’s) or provide an indirect object (to/for the interlocutor). When referring to more than one partner, the appropriate forms are interlocutorii (nominative/accusative plural) and interlocutorilor (genitive/dative plural).

Examples:

- Răspunsul interlocutorului a clarificat poziția sa. (The interlocutor’s reply clarified his position.)

- Din partea interlocutorului s-au înregistrat observații. (Observations were submitted on behalf of the interlocutor.)

- În timpul dialogului, interlocutorul a adresat întrebări clare. (During the dialogue, the interlocutor asked clear questions.)

Interlocutorului is therefore a key term in discourse analysis and everyday language to identify the other participant in a conversation, with its related declensions forming central parts of Romanian syntax.
