Administratívna

Administratívna is the feminine singular form of the Slovak adjective administratívny, meaning relating to administration or administrative. It is used to describe things connected with public administration, bureaucratic processes, or organizational tasks. The term appears in legal, governmental, academic, and everyday language to distinguish administrative matters from substantive ones.

In Slovak, adjectives agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify. Thus administratívna describes feminine nouns (for example administratívna služba, administrative service; administratívna činnosť, administrative activity). The masculine form is administratívny, and the neuter form is administratívne; the plural forms follow standard Slovak adjective patterns.

Common contexts for the word include references to public administration, civil service, regulatory processes, and organizational frameworks. It can modify both concrete objects (administratívna zložka, administrative component) and abstract concepts (administratívne opatrenia, administrative measures). In legal and policy language, the adjective helps differentiate procedures, guidelines, and documents that pertain to administration from those addressing other substantive matters.

Etymology traces administratívna to the Latin administrativus, via European languages such as French or English, and it has been adopted into Slovak to describe aspects of governance, management, and organizational systems. The noun administrácia, meaning administration, is closely related and commonly used alongside administratívne forms.
