pietonilor

Pietonilor is the genitive plural form of the Romanian noun pieton, meaning pedestrians. The term is used to refer to a group of people who travel on foot and is common in contexts such as traffic safety, urban planning, and law. It appears in phrases like siguranța pietonilor (the safety of pedestrians) and drepturile pietonilor (the rights of pedestrians).

Linguistic and grammatical notes: pieton is a masculine noun borrowed into Romanian from French piéton, with the standard Romanian declension for masculine nouns. The definite plural form is pietonii, while the genitive/dative plural is pietonilor. The accusative plural can appear as pietoni in certain constructions (for example, pentru pietoni = for pedestrians). The word is often used in both general discussion of pedestrians and in formal regulatory language.

Usage and contexts: In everyday Romanian, pietonilor appears primarily in possessive or descriptive phrases about pedestrians or groups of pedestrians. It is frequently encountered in traffic regulations, road safety campaigns, and municipal planning documents. Related terms include pieton (pedestrian) and pietonal, an adjective used to describe things designed for or relating to pedestrians, such as stradă pietonală (pedestrian street).

See also: pieton, pietonal, stradă pietonală, siguranța pietonilor, drepturile pietonilor. Note that pietonilor itself is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, and its meaning derives from the base noun pieton (pedestrian).
