Gosudarstvennoy

Gosudarstvennoy is a transliteration used in English-language texts to represent the feminine form of the Russian adjective государственный, meaning “state” or “governmental.” It denotes relation to the state, government, or public administration, and appears in various grammatical cases depending on gender and number.

Morphology and forms: The base adjective государственный is declined for gender and case in Russian. The feminine form in the nominative is государственная, while the genitive, dative, and instrumental singular take the ending -ой, transliterated as gosudarstvennoy. Other feminine forms include государственную (gosudarstvennuyu) in the accusative. Masculine and neuter forms use gosudarstvennyy and gosudarstvennoye respectively. The root gosudarstven- comes from государство (state) with the suffix -ственный, which yields adjectives describing state-related properties.

Usage: Gosudarstvennoy, in transliterated form, appears in discussions of state-affiliated entities, policies, and properties when referring to feminine nouns or to the feminine genitive/dative/instrumental cases. Examples in Russian would be phrases like государственная собственность (state property) or государственной политики (of state policy). In English translations, the same concept is typically rendered as “state-” or “government-” in compounds such as state-owned, state policy, or government program.

Context and related terms: The adjective is part of a larger semantic field including государственный, государство, государственный служащий, and государственный бюджет. The choice between translations like “state-owned” versus “governmental” depends on the specific noun and context.
