Efikasno

Efikasno is an adverb used in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian (BCS) to describe performing an action with efficiency or in an efficient manner. It is the neuter adverb form of the adjective efikasan, which means efficient. The related noun efikasnost denotes efficiency or, in some contexts, effectiveness, depending on usage.

In language use, efikasno appears in technical, business, and everyday contexts to emphasize productive, resourceful, or high-performance execution. It contrasts with terms that stress effectiveness (such as učinkovitost) and with more general notions of performance, allowing speakers to specify the quality of how something is done. Colloquial and formal registers both employ efikasno to convey precision about process or outcome.

Common contexts include the efficient management of resources, energy-efficient operations, and well-structured project execution. For example, one may say: On radi efikasno (He works efficiently) and Efikasno korišćenje resursa dovodi do manjih troškova (Efficient use of resources leads to lower costs). The term can also appear in corporate and policy language when describing optimization efforts, optimization of workflows, or demonstrations of performance improvements.
