societii

Societii is a Romanian inflected form of the noun societate. The base word societate means either society or company, depending on context. The form societii, written without diacritics as societatii, functions as the genitive or dative singular in Romanian grammar, used to indicate possession (of the society) or to mark the indirect object (to/for the society).

In Romanian, the plural forms are societăți (nominative/accusative) and societățile (definite plural). The distinction between singular and plural, and between the definite and indefinite forms, is important for understanding sentences in which societii appears in older or more formal written text where the diacritics are removed.

Etymology traces societate to the Latin societas, via the Romance languages such as French sociét é and Italian società. The sense of a structured group formed for common purposes—whether a social group in a community or a legally constituted business entity—remains central to the term across its uses.

Usage notes: societii is not a standalone noun but a case form of societate. In legal and business Romanian, the term commonly appears in phrases like dreptul societății (the right of the society) or pentru societății (for the society). Distinguishing between the singular form societii and the plural societăți or societățile is essential for correct grammar and meaning.
