înmatriculate

Înmatriculate is the participle past and adjectival form derived from the Romanian verb a înmatricula, meaning to register, enroll, or matriculate. The term describes persons or objects that have been officially recorded in a registry or database. It is used primarily to indicate that a status or right conferred by registration has been granted, such as enrollment in an institution or registration of a vehicle.

Morphology and usage. The form înmatriculate agrees with feminine plural or neuter plural nouns (for example, mașini înmatriculate, elevi înmatriculați). In masculine plural the corresponding form is înmatriculați, and in singular forms the agreement differs (masculine singular înmatriculat, feminine singular înmatriculată). In everyday language, the expression highlights that the registration process has been completed and validated by an official authority.

Contexts. In education, elevi sau studenți înmatriculați are those who have formally registered at a school or university. In transportation, autovehiculele înmatriculate are vehicles that hold valid registration documents and license plates. The term can also apply to members or items registered in an official list, such as registries or organizational databases, though in such cases other phrases like înregistrat or înscris poate be more common.

Nuances. Înmatriculate emphasizes formal registration and the legal or administrative status resulting from it, as opposed to more general terms like înregistrate (registered) which may be broader in scope. The concept is closely tied to matriculation and vehicle registration in Romanian administrative vocabulary.
