poze

Poze is the plural form of poză, a Romanian noun that means a photograph or picture. The singular form is poză, and poze refers to two or more images. The definite plural form is pozele, used when saying “the photos.” In everyday speech, poze is the common term for photographs, while fotografie is often preferred in formal writing or technical contexts.

The word poză is widely used across Romanian-speaking communities and is common in media, online communication, and personal conversations. Poze appear frequently in social media, albums, and discussions about images. The distinction between poză (singular) and poze (plural) mirrors the general pattern of Romanian nouns, with the definite form pozele typically used when the photos in question are specifically identified.

Etymology and usage notes: poză derives from the concept of photography, with influences from Romance languages that adopted the term from the French word photo, itself from Greek photos meaning light. In Romanian, poze functions as the everyday, informal term for photographs, while using pozele or a phrase like fotografii is common when the context calls for formality or specificity.
