riscului

Riscului is the genitive and dative singular form of the Romanian noun riscul, which designates risk or danger. The base noun riscul is the definite form of riscul’s root, risc, and riscului marks possession or an indirect object in sentences. Examples include: evaluarea riscului (the assessment of the risk), dimensiunea riscului (the dimension of the risk), and protecția împotriva riscului (protection against the risk).

In Romanian grammar, riscului occurs in contexts where the risk is the object of a preposition or a verb that governs the genitive. It is contrasted with riscul (the risk, in the nominative/accusative) and riscuri/riscurilor (the plural and its genitive/dative forms). The plural nominative is riscuri, while the genitive/dative plural is riscurilor.

Etymology and usage notes: the Romanian word riscul derives from the international concept of risk, with the definite form riscul produced by adding a definite article suffix to risc. The form riscului is then used for possession or as the complement of prepositions like de, către, sau împotriva. In practice, riscului is common in risk management, insurance, safety, finance, and legal texts, where precise reference to a specific risk type or magnitude is required.
