talentelor

Talentelor is the genitive and dative plural form of the Romanian noun talent, meaning ability or aptitude. It is used to express possession or to indicate the indirect object associated with talents in a sentence, as in formal or written Romanian.

In Romanian, talent belongs to the third declension masculine nouns; the nominative plural is talente, while the genitive/dative plural is talentelor. The form talentelor appears after prepositions or verbs that require the genitive or dative case. Examples include: dezvolarea talentelor românești (the development of Romanian talents) and un program destinat talentelor tinere (a program aimed at young talents). Another common construction is lista talentelor (the list of talents).

Etymology: The noun talent in Romanian is a loanword, adopted from French talent, which in turn traces back to Latin talentum or talenta, with the sense widening from “skill” to “natural ability” in modern usage.

Notes: Talentelor is primarily a grammatical form used in formal or written Romanian. Its usage is tied to expressions of possession, attribution, or indirect objects, and it contrasts with talente, the nominative plural referring to “the talents” as a subject.
