Etymology 1

Inherited from Latin tōtus. Compare Aromanian tut, Catalan tot, French tout, Italian tutto, Portuguese todo, Spanish todo. First attested in the Hurmuzaki Psalter, dated to circa 1500–1510.

Adverb

tot

  1. (temporal) still
  2. nevertheless, still, anyway
    1. (informal, in justifications) anyway (introduces circumstances favourable to the fulfillment of a request)
  3. Indicates that a notion or quality is the same as one previously known.
    tot așa de ― just as, to the same degree
    Tot eu sunt. ― It’s me again.
  4. (somewhat informal) repeatedly, unceasingly, all the time, habitually, constantly
  5. exclusively, only
  6. every (expressing periodicity)
  7. (modifying mai) increasingly (yielding more and more, ever more)
  8. (informal, modifying verb in subjunctive, slightly dated) let’s say, approximately, about
Usage notes

In the first sense, tot is succeeded by mai when modifying a verb that is not negated.

Senses 1–3 are distinguished with a high pitch and are unstressed; the latter senses take a normal pitch and are relatively stressed. These contrast in a sentence like “tot mă duc”, which may either mean “I’m habitually/repeatedly/constantly going” or “I’m going anyway”. Sense 2.1 also takes a low pitch, despite being a subsense of a high pitched one.

In both the sense of “repeatedly, habitually” and the sense of “either way”, tot must stand right before the verb it modifies, but, in case of a reflexive verb, the latter cannot stand between the verb and the reflexive pronoun. Consequently, “mă tot duc” can only mean “I’m going habitually”.

In older popular narratives and especially fairy tales, tot in the sense of “repeatedly” is used with no precise meaning, modifying verbs such as pleca (“leave”) or se duce (“go”).

Synonyms
  • (still): încă
  • (anyway): oricum, și-așa
  • (repeatedly): încontinuu, întruna, necontenit, neîncetat
  • (increasingly): din ce în ce
Derived terms
  • tot unul și unul
Collocations
  • tot înainte ― forwards

Determiner

tot m or n (feminine singular toată, masculine plural toți, feminine and neuter plural toate)

  1. all, the whole
  2. (in the plural) all, every [from c. 1500–1510]
    • 1521, Neacșu’s letter, lines 6–7:
  3. (with singular countable nouns or relative pronouns; archaic, regional or colloquial) every
    în tot locul ― all over the place
    tot felul ― all kinds
  4. (mostly used of bodies; preposited or postposited) all over
Usage notes

The singular genitive case is not used; the word întreg is substituted. Nonstandard usage is, however, encountered in old texts:

Tot is only ever found in articulated constructions, but it is never articulated itself, even (as Romanian grammar otherwise dictates) when placed before the noun. This preposited usage is most neutral in style and fits any register.

While singular tot (sense 1) is not markedly informal, it is especially in elevated writing that it is replaced by its synonym întreg, particularly when modifying countable nouns.
