oamenilor

Oamenilor is a Romanian inflected form of the noun om (plural oameni). Specifically, it is the genitive/dative plural form, used to indicate possession or to mark an indirect object, similar to how English uses of the people or to the people. In ordinary speech and writing, it appears in phrases that express “of the people” or “to/for the people.”

Etymology and grammar within Romanian show that om is the singular form meaning man or person, with
