împinse

Împinse is a Romanian participial form derived from the verb a împinge, which means to push. In grammatical use, împinse is the feminine plural past participle, agreeing with feminine plural nouns and functioning in passive voice constructions with the auxiliary verb a fi (for example, au fost împinse).

Morphology and usage. Romanian verb forms of a împinge include: masculine singular împins, feminine singular împinsă, masculine plural împinși, and feminine plural împinse. The form îm pinse specifically marks feminine plural agreement and appears in sentences where the subject is feminine plural and the passive participle is used, such as in perfect passive constructions.

Example. A simple illustrating sentence is: Cărțile au fost împinse pe masă, meaning The books were pushed onto the table. Here, cărțile (the books) is feminine plural, and împinse agrees accordingly.

Etymology. Împinse comes from the verb a împinge, which in turn traces to Latin impingere, reflecting the common Romance pathway of forming Romanian participles.

Notes. Împinse is primarily a literary or formal grammatical form, used in writing and in careful speech to express a completed action affecting feminine plural nouns. In everyday speech, speakers may use alternative constructions or the masculine plural form when the gender of the subject is not specified.
