nivelului

Nivelului is the genitive/dative singular form of the Romanian masculine noun nivel, which means level, tier, or stage. The form is used when the level is possessed by or related to another noun, or when the noun governs a genitive or dative relation in a sentence. It contrasts with nivelul, the definite singular form used when the level is the subject or a direct object in a definite sense. The plural forms are niveluri (indefinite) and nivelurile (definite), with genitive/dative plural being nivelurilor.

Common uses include phrases that specify which level is being discussed. For example, nivelului apei denotes the water level, nivelului de zgomot denotes the noise level, and nivelului de dificultate denotes the level of difficulty. These constructions are typical in technical, scientific, or administrative contexts, where precise measurement or classification is needed. Examples in standard Romanian include: “Raportul analizează evoluția nivelului apei în râu” and “Măsurătorile indică creșterea nivelului de zgomot în oraș.”

Declension notes: nivel is a masculine noun. Singular forms are nivel (nominativ/indefinite), nivelul (definite), nivelului (genitive/dative).
