opinilor

Opinilor is the genitive and dative plural form of the Romanian noun opinia, which means opinion. It functions as a grammatical inflection used to indicate possession or to mark the indirect object in a sentence when referring to multiple opinions. In everyday language, opinilor appears most often in formal or written contexts, for example in phrases like conform opiniilor cetățenilor (in accordance with the citizens’ opinions) or impactul opiniilor asupra deciziilor.

Etymology and classification: opinia derives from Latin opinio, with its Romanian form evolving through the usual pathways of Romance languages. The word is feminine, and its inflected forms follow standard Romanian noun declensions. While opinia has a commonly used plural form opinii in the nominative/accusative, opinilor is reserved for the genitive and dative plural, and appears in constructions requiring those cases.

Usage notes: opinilor is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form tied to the noun opinia. It is typically found after prepositions or verbs that govern the genitive or dative case, or within phrases that express possession or association. Writers use opinilor to reference groups of opinions in a way that clarifies relationships between subjects and their beliefs, such as public discourse, policy considerations, or survey results.

Relation to related terms: common related words include opinie (opinion in the singular or definite plural form), opinii (plural nominative/accusative), and opiniilor (genitive/dative plural). The term is also connected to phrases about public opinion, surveys, and civic discourse.
