obtín

Obtín is a Romanian verb form associated with the verb a obține, which means to obtain, acquire, or gain. In standard Romanian orthography, the present-tense form is obțin (eu obțin, you obții, he/she obține, we obținem, you all obțineți, they obțin). The spelling obtín with a marked i is not part of the normative orthography and would be considered nonstandard or a typographical variant in most texts.

The verb a obține is irregular and forms its tenses around the stem obțin- for present forms, with the past tense constructed using the auxiliary verb a avea in the perfect compus: am obținut, ai obținut, a obținut, am obținut, ați obținut, au obținut. The past participle obținut is commonly used in compound tenses and as an adjective meaning obtained.

Noun forms related to the act are obținerea or obținere, referring to the act or process of obtaining. The adjective derived from the verb is obținut, used to describe something that has been obtained. The verb is frequently employed in everyday language, administrative contexts, and reporting to express the act of acquiring or achieving something.

Etymology traces obține back to Latin obtinere, via the Romance linguistic developments. Related Romanian verbs include a câștiga (to win) and a dobândi (to acquire), which can serve as near-synonyms in certain contexts. In translation, obține corresponds to the English obtain or acquire.
