întregilor

Întregilor is the genitive plural form of the Romanian adjective and noun întreg, meaning "whole" or "entire." In Romanian, adjectives decline to reflect the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify, and the genitive plural form is used when the head noun is in the genitive plural within a larger noun phrase.

Uses and meaning

Întregilor appears primarily in phrases where the noun is in the genitive plural and the adjective refers to a total or complete set. It is commonly found in constructions like "partea întregilor" (the part of the whole) or "proporția întregilor din populație" (the proportion of the whole population). In these contexts, it functions to relate a subset or aspect to the entire group.

Mathematical note

In everyday Romanian, integers are usually expressed as "numere întregi." The form "întregilor" may occur in more formal or specialized expressions describing sets or groups that are treated as wholes, or when the genitive relationship requires it within a sentence.

Etymology

The word întreg derives from Latin integer, meaning whole or unbroken. The genitive plural ending -ilor marks the grammatical role of the phrase in which the adjective/noun is used.

Usage guidance

Întregilor is not typically used as a standalone noun and tends to appear as part of a larger noun phrase in formal or technical writing. For general references to integers, prefer "numere întregi." See also Romanian grammar and the genitive case.
