Izrade

Izrade is a term used in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian to denote the act of making, producing, or creating something. It is the form related to the feminine noun izrada, which means production, fabrication, or development. The word comes from the verb izraditi, meaning to manufacture or to create, and it is built from the root rad (work) with the prefix iz- indicating completion or extraction.

In general usage, izrade covers a wide range of contexts—from crafts and manufacturing to design and development projects. Examples include izrada proizvoda (production of goods), izrada nakita (jewelry making), and izrada softvera (software development). The term is common in business, industry, and technology discourse, as well as in everyday language describing how something is being produced or created.

A related and frequently seen expression is u fazi izrade, meaning that something is in the process of being produced or developed. This phrase is used for projects, products, or documents that are not yet finished.

Izrade also appears in compound phrases and technical terminology, often paired with adjectives or nouns that specify the type of production or creation. The concept is closely related to proizvodnja (manufacturing) and razvoj (development) but emphasizes the act of making or assembling.
