suportati

Suportati is the non-diacritic spelling of the Romanian verb form suportăți, which is the second-person plural present indicative of the verb a suporta. In standard Romanian with diacritics, the form is suportați. The verb a suporta generally means to bear, endure, or tolerate, and can also convey the sense of supporting or carrying a load.

This form is used when addressing multiple people directly and means “you all bear” or “you all endure.” For example, Voi suportați povara. The verb can be used in contexts ranging from physical bearing (a suporta greutatea) to tolerating conditions or consequences (a suporta o situație dificilă). It should be distinguished from a susține, another Romanian verb meaning “to support” in the sense of providing backing or defense, which has its own present forms (susțineți).

Etymology traces the Romanian verb a suporta to Latin roots (supportare) and it shares cognate forms with other Romance languages, reflecting the broader meaning of bearing or supporting. In Romanian spelling, diacritics are important to distinguish suportăți from other forms; without diacritics, the same word appears as suportati, which can lead to ambiguity if the surrounding context is unclear.

Commonly confused forms include singular present supporți (tu suporți) or other verb families with similar consonant patterns. Proper use relies on matching the person and number (tu, el/ea, noi, voi, ei/ele) and ensuring consistency with the intended meaning—bearing physically versus providing support or endorsement.
