Administrajn

Administrajn is the accusative plural form of the Esperanto adjective administraj, meaning administrative or relating to administration. It is used to modify a plural noun in the accusative case. For example, la administrajn aferojn means “the administrative matters” when the noun aferoj is in the accusative plural; similarly, la administrajn direktorojn means “the administrative directors” in accusative plural.

Morphology and usage: In Esperanto, adjectives end with -a and agree with the noun in number and case. The plural form is -aj; when the noun is in the accusative plural, the adjective also takes the accusative ending -n, yielding administrajn. The corresponding nominative plural is administraj, and the singular forms follow the standard pattern (administran for accusative singular, administra for nominative singular, etc.). This pattern allows administrators, institutions, or processes to be described consistently in texts.

Context and meaning: Administrajn is commonly found in government, business, and academic writing to describe matters, tasks, offices, or rules that pertain to administration. It can modify various plural nouns, such as aferojn (matters), direktorojn (directors), or procedojn (procedures), when the speaker treats them as objects of a verb or topic of discussion.

Related terms and etymology: The word derives from administr- plus typical Esperanto adjective endings. Related terms include administrado (administration), administranto (administrator), and administracio (administration as an institution). These forms share the same root and are used in complementary senses within discussions of organizational or governmental activity.
