vizitele

Vizitele is the definite plural form of the Romanian noun vizită, meaning visits. The term can refer to the act of visiting someone or to the actual instances of visits, such as family visits, hospital visits, or official visits. As a definite plural, vizitele is used when both the speaker and listener know which visits are being discussed.

Etymology and morphology: The noun vizită derives from the French visité/visite and ultimately from Latin visitare, meaning to visit. In Romanian, vizită is feminine; its indefinite plural is vizite, while the definite plural is vizitele. The definite article is suffixed to the noun in the plural form: vizitele = "the visits."

Usage: Vizitele appear in neutral and formal contexts in everyday Romanian. They can combine with adjectives or nouns to specify type of visit, such as vizitele medicale (medical visits), vizitele oficiale (official visits), or vizitele de familie (family visits). They also occur in institutional policies and reporting, for example in guidelines that regulate hospital vizitele or in accounts of diplomatic schedules referring to vizitele obtinute or vizitele programate.
