Aktivne

Aktivne is the feminine plural form of the adjective meaning "active" in several South Slavic languages, most notably Slovenian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. As an agreement form, aktivne accompanies feminine plural nouns and shows gender and number concordance. The masculine and neuter forms differ (for example, aktivni/aktivno in many varieties, or aktivan/aktivno in others), while feminine singular is typically aktivna.

In usage, aktivne appears in everyday phrases to describe people or things that are active. Examples include aktivne osebe oraktivne žene in Slovenian and Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian phrases such as aktivne osobe or aktivne žene. The same form can extend to non-personal contexts, for instance aktivne aktivnosti or aktivne uloge, depending on the noun it modifies. The precise spelling and agreement can vary slightly by language standard, but the broad function remains the same: to attribute the quality of activity to a feminine plural noun.

Etymologically, aktivne derives from the root aktiv- meaning active, itself traceable to Latin activus via common Slavic adoption and subsequent grammaticalization into the various feminine plural adjective forms in these languages.

Notes on usage indicate that aktivne is primarily an ordinary descriptive adjective rather than a separate noun or proper term. It appears predominantly in descriptive phrases rather than as a label, though it may occur in titles or headings when describing groups or roles that are feminine plural in form.
