solistului

Solistului is the genitive/dative singular form of the Romanian masculine noun solist, meaning soloist. It functions to express possession, as in the soloist’s property, or to indicate the indirect object (to/for the soloist) in a sentence. In Romanian, possession is typically shown with the genitive case, and the noun carrying the genitive takes the corresponding ending, here solistului.

In use, solistului appears in phrases such as car ta solistului (the soloist’s book) or Piesa solistului (the soloist’s piece). The form can also serve as the recipient in ditransitive constructions, for example Am dat solistului cartea (I gave the soloist the book). The definite article of the noun is expressed separately in Romanian, so solistului appears without a separate article, while the possessed noun retains its own article, as in Piesa solistului.

Etymology and relation to other terms: solistului is derived from solist, itself borrowed into Romanian as the term for a performer who performs a solo. The word solist is part of a family with similar formations in Romance and European languages, linked to the root solo or soloist plus the Romanian genitive/dative ending. The feminine form is solista with corresponding case variations, and the plural forms follow standard Romanian inflection patterns.

Usage notes: solistului is a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical entry. Its correct use depends on case and number agreement with the surrounding noun phrase. In formal and written Romanian, it is common in discussions of music, performance, or ownership where the soloist is the possessor or beneficiary of an action.
