Summary/Abstract: Invariable adjectives are not very common in Romanian language, but they have appeared in first Romanian texts. It is true that, later, some of them became variable, but the appearance of this category of adjectives remains registered. Our study offers several examples of invariable adjectives from Romanian literary texts, presented according to diachronic criterion, and some examples of invariable adjectives extracted from folklore. All examples have also been debated starting with a theoretical basis.
