Accessible Spaces
Like all Romanian adjectives, accesibil (accessible) changes form to match the gender and number of the noun it modifies.
| This building is completely accessible. | Această clădire este complet accesibilă. |
Key nouns for discussing physical infrastructure include dizabilitatea (the disability) and rampa (the ramp).
| The client with a disability uses the ramp. | Clienta cu o dizabilitate folosește rampa. |
Equality and Inclusion
Use the adjective egal (equal) to discuss rights and society.
| Every person has equal rights. | Fiecare persoană are drepturi egale. |
When referring to individuals with visual impairments, use the adjective nevăzător (blind). Notice how adjectives change their endings to fit the noun's case—such as the dative case when showing who an action is directed toward.
| I explained the route to the blind man. | I-am explicat traseul bărbatului nevăzător. |
This ties into the broader theme of incluziunea (the inclusion).
| We respect the inclusion of all students. | Noi respectăm incluziunea tuturor studenților. |
Accommodations and Infrastructure
Other key terms include everyday infrastructure like liftul (the elevator) and vocabulary for hearing impairments, like surd (deaf).
| The elevator broke down today. | Liftul s-a stricat astăzi. |
| The deaf boy still does not hear the alarm. | Băiatul surd tot nu aude alarma. |
Accommodations are often described by the senses they engage, such as tactil (tactile) or auditiv (auditory).
| The tactile map is very useful. | Harta tactilă este foarte utilă. |
| She has a hearing disability. | Ea are o dizabilitate auditivă. |
These features help make everyday spaces navigable for everyone.
| The blind girl uses the tactile menu. | Fata nevăzătoare folosește meniul tactil. |
