variaza

Variaza is the ASCII representation of the present tense 3rd person singular form of the Romanian verb a varia, meaning to vary or to differ. The infinitive is a varia, and the diacritic form of 3rd person singular is variaza (variază with the diacritic on ă). In ordinary usage, varia describes a change or difference in amount, degree, form, or type across items, time, or conditions.

In Romanian, variations are commonly discussed in contexts such as measurements, prices, results, or opinions. The verb is used to indicate that a quantity or characteristic changes from one instance to another. For example, in ASCII without diacritics: Temperaturile variaza in timpul zilei. Preturile variaza in functie de sezon. Such constructions help express variability without specifying exact values.

Etymology and related forms: a varia derives from Latin varius, meaning diverse or changing, and entered Romanian through historical language evolution. Related nouns include variatie (variation) and varietate (variety), which share the same root and semantic field.

Grammatical notes: variaza is the 3rd person singular present indicative form. The regular infinitive is a varia. The standard, diacritic form is variază. Romanian speakers may also use related forms in different tenses to describe ongoing or completed variation, such as am variat (I varied) or voi variați (you all vary).
