participanilor

Participanilor is the genitive/dative plural form of the Romanian masculine noun participant. It is used to express possession or to mark the indirect object, roughly corresponding to “of the participants” or “to the participants” in English. The base noun is participant; its nominative plural is participanți, while the genitive/dative plural is participanților. In texts where diacritics are omitted, the form appears as participanilor.

Morphology and diacritics: The standard diacritic form is participanților. When diacritics are removed, it is written as participanilor. This form is a typical example of Romanian noun declension in the genitive/dative plural for masculine nouns ending in -t in the singular form.

Usage: Participanilor appears in formal and academic writing, legal and administrative texts, and in media when referring to groups in a possessive or indirect-object sense. It often occurs in phrases such as “ drepturile participanților,” meaning the rights of the participants, or “contribuțiile participanților,” meaning the participants’ contributions.

Examples:

- Participanților la conferință li s-a cerut să semneze registrul de prezență.

- Drepturile participanților au fost protejate prin lege.

- Contribuțiile participanților la proiect au fost incluse în raport.

- Observațiile participanților au fost luate în considerare.

Note: Participanilor is a grammatical form, not a separate lexical entry; the corresponding nominative plural is participanți, and the singular forms are participant (nominative) and participanților (genitive/dative plural).
