obtinuta

Obținuta is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the Romanian verb a obține, meaning to obtain or to acquire. It is used as an adjective or participial phrase to indicate that something has been obtained, earned, or acquired. It commonly modifies feminine nouns, for example: licența obținută (the obtained license) or diploma obținută prin eforturi (diploma obtained through efforts). It can also appear in predicate position, as in: Aceasta este licența obținută de student.

Etymology and spelling: obținuta derives from the verb a obține, which comes from the Latin obtinere. The standard Romanian spelling uses the diacritic ț (obținută). In texts without diacritics, the form appears as obtinuta or obtinuta, which corresponds to the same word.

Morphology: as a past participle, obținut has masculine singular form, obținută is feminine singular, obținuți is masculine plural, and obținute is feminine plural. In practice, the choice of form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies or with the subject if used predicatively.
