liberala

Liberala is the feminine singular form of the Romanian adjective liberal, and appears in contexts describing nouns that are feminine and related to liberalism. The base adjective liberal derives from Latin liberalis and entered Romanian through European languages in the 18th–19th centuries. In Romanian grammar, liberala agrees with a feminine noun; the masculine form is liberal and the plural liberali (masc) or liberale (fem) depending on gender and number.

In political and cultural discourse, liberala is used to convey liberal ideologies or policies, such as support for civil liberties, the rule of law, free markets, and individual rights. It can appear in phrases like "programa liberala" (the liberal program) or "opinia liberala" (the liberal opinion), and may feature in the names of political formations that identify with liberal principles. In practice, the term often functions as part of longer descriptors rather than as a stand-alone concept.

In the broader sense, liberalism denotes a political philosophy centered on limited government, free institutions, and protection of civil liberties. The feminine form liberala thus reflects gender agreement rather than a distinct ideology beyond liberalism itself.
