împachetat

împachetat is the Romanian past participle of the verb a împacheta, meaning to wrap or package. As an adjective, it describes something that has been wrapped, packaged, or enclosed. It is commonly used for gifts, parcels, and other items prepared for transport or presentation. Example uses include cadou împachetat (a wrapped gift) and colet împachetat în hârtie de ambalaj (a parcel wrapped in wrapping paper). The term functions both with tangible wrapping and in extended senses where an object is presented in a prepared or organized form, such as products that are ready for sale.

Grammatical forms and agreement: îm‑pachetat is masculine singular; feminine singular is împachetată; masculine plural is împachetați; feminine plural is împachetate. Romanian adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they modify, so the ending changes accordingly (for example, un cadou împachetat vs. o prezentare împachetată).

Etymology and related terms: împachetat derives from the verb a împacheta, which itself is built around the noun pachet (package) with the prefix î- and the participial suffix -at. Related terms include ambalaj (packaging) and pachet (package), as well as the verb a împacheta, to wrap or package.

Usage notes: while primarily physical, the adjective can appear in contexts describing preparation or presentation, often in consumer or logistical language. It is largely interchangeable with terms like ambalat or împachetat în folie, depending on specificity and regional usage.
