posibilului

Posibilului is a Romanian noun form derived from the adjective posibil, meaning "possible." The base noun possibles are posibilul, used to mean "the possible one" or "the possible thing." The form posibilului is the genitive or dative singular of that noun, and it appears in constructions where possession or an indirect object is expressed, for example in phrases like limitele posibilului ("the limits of the possible") or o alegere a posibilului ("a choice of the possible"). In everyday Romanian, the abstract notion of possibility is more commonly expressed by posibilitatea ("the possibility"), but posibilul and its declined forms recur in literary, rhetorical, and philosophical contexts to emphasize a concrete sense of what may be real.

In philosophical and logical discourse, posibilul is used to denote what could become real under certain conditions—the domain or set of possibilities—often in contrast to actualul (the actual) or necesarul (the necessary). The genitive/dative form posibilului appears in analytic or argumentative language to anchor statements to a defined scope of possibility, as in "limitele posibilului" or "o alegere a posibilului." This usage mirrors analogous modal terms in other languages, while preserving Romanian syntactic patterns.

Usage notes:.posibilului is relatively rare in ordinary speech and tends to occur in academic writing, theoretical discussion, or stylized prose. When teaching or learning Romanian, many learners will encounter the more common noun posibilitatea for general references to possibility, whereas posibilului is encountered mainly in nuanced, case-specific constructions.
