nectarului

Nectarului is the genitive/dative singular form of the Romanian noun nectar. In Romanian grammar, nouns decline for case, and the definite form is created by suffixes; the nominative/indefinite form nectar becomes nectarul when definite, while nectarului marks the genitive or dative singular meaning “of the nectar” or “to the nectar.” The form is used in noun phrases that express possession or indirect relation and must agree with the noun it accompanies.

Origin and meaning: The Romanian word nectar derives from Latin nectar, ultimately from Ancient Greek nektar, meaning a drink of the gods. In contemporary usage, nectar typically refers to the sweet liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators, but the term can also be employed metaphorically to denote something particularly pleasant or tasty.

Usage notes: Nectarului appears in contexts where the possessive or indirect sense is needed, for example in phrases like gustul nectarului florilor (the taste of the nectar of the flowers) or proprietățile nectarului (the properties of the nectar). It is a standard grammatical form and does not designate a separate concept beyond its role as a case form of nectar. When referring to the general idea of nectar, Romanian speakers may use nectar or nectarul, depending on definiteness and syntactic needs.
