prezentati

Prezentati is the ASCII spelling of the Romanian word prezentați, the second-person plural present indicative and imperative form of the verb a prezenta, meaning to present or to introduce. In standard Romanian orthography the diacritic-laden form prezentați is used; prezentati appears in texts that do not support diacritics.

In function and conjugation, prezentați marks the second-person plural in the present tense: eu prezint, tu prezinți, el/ea prezintă, noi prezentăm, voi prezentați, ei/ele prezintă. The same form, prezentați, also functions as the second-person plural imperative: Prezentați! This makes it both a statement about what you (plural) present and a command directing a group to present something. Examples include: Prezentați raportul în cadrul întâlnirii. and Prezentați raportul! with no subject explicit.

Etymology and relation to other languages: prezentați is derived from the Romanian verb a prezenta, which in turn is cognate with Latin praesentare and with equivalents in other Romance languages, such as Italian presentare and French présenter. This reflects a shared Latin root for “to present” across Romance tongues.

Notes: Prezentati is not a separate lexical entry in Romanian; it is a non-diacritic rendering of prezentați. It should not be confused with prezentări (presentations, a plural noun) or with prezentare (a presentation). In most writing, proper Romanian uses prezentați with the appropriate diacritics.
