puterilor

Puterilor is a Romanian grammatical form, specifically the genitive plural of the feminine noun putere, which means power, strength, or authority. The word is used to indicate possession or relation to powers or authorities, and it appears in contexts ranging from politics and law to discussions of capacity or ability. As a genitive plural, puterilor typically follows a determiner such as ale or ale puterilor statului, signaling “of the powers” or “of the powers of.”

Etymology and sense: putere derives from Latin potentia, through the evolution of Romanian vocabulary. The term encompasses political or institutional power as well as general notions of capability or capacity.

Usage considerations: Romanian syntax uses the genitive plural form puterilor after definite possessors or descriptive phrases (for example, ale puterilor statului = of the powers of the state). In formal or legal language, you may encounter phrases discussing the distribution, limits, or exercise of authorities where this form is appropriate. In everyday speech, speakers might opt for the singular putere or the plural puteri depending on number and emphasis.

Contexts: The expression often appears in constitutional, administrative, and political discourse when referring to branches of government, authorities, or faculties. It can also occur in historical writings, for example when describing the “Central Powers” in Romanian as Puterilor Centrale in genitive usage.
