patternurilor

Patternurilor is a Romanian grammatical form used to refer to multiple patterns. It represents the genitive/dative plural of the noun pattern, a loanword from English. The base noun is pattern; in Romanian the plural is patternuri, the definite plural is patternurile, and the genitive/dative plural is patternurilor. This form appears in phrases where patterns are described as belonging to or affecting something, as in "ale patternurilor" (of the patterns) or "patternurilor de trafic" (patterns of traffic).

In usage, patternurilor appears across disciplines that discuss recurring motifs or templates. In software engineering, speakers commonly refer to "patternuri de proiectare" or simply "patternuri" when talking about design patterns. In data analysis and social science, one might speak of "patternuri de comportament" or "patternuri de consum" to describe recurring behaviors or trends. In linguistics or art, the term can denote recurrent motifs or structures.

Romanian writers often prefer native words when appropriate, using "modele," "tipare" or "șabloane" as equivalents for pattern, especially in formal contexts or texts aimed at audiences less familiar with English loanwords. When the English term is used as a loanword, patternurilor functions as the standard Romanian inflected form for indicating possession or relation to multiple patterns.
