poliei

Poliei is a Romanian linguistic form that is associated with poliție, the word for police in Romanian. It is not a standalone lexical entry with its own meaning, but rather a grammatical variant that can appear in texts when discussing inflection or in non-diacritic writing. In standard Romanian spelling, poliție is a feminine noun meaning the police, and it declines according to case and number. The form poliției (with diacritics) is used for the genitive and dative singular in many sentences, while other inflected forms serve different grammatical roles. The specific appearance poliei without diacritics is sometimes encountered in older or nonstandard texts where diacritics are omitted.

Etymology: poliție ultimately derives from the Latin word politia, which in turn influenced related terms for police in several Romance languages, such as French police and Italian polizia. The concept captured by poliție has long been tied to public order and law enforcement in many European languages.

Usage notes: In Romanian texts that preserve proper diacritics, poliție and poliției are preferred for the base word and its genitive/dative form, respectively. When diacritics are removed, forms can vary, and readers should rely on context to determine the intended grammatical function. The term poliei, when encountered, is typically understood as a non-diacritic variant related to poliție rather than a distinct word with a separate meaning.
