Naloga

Naloga is a Slovenian noun meaning a task, assignment, or duty. It is commonly used to refer to an exercise or problem given to someone to complete, such as schoolwork or a project task. In a broader sense, naloga can denote a responsibility or obligation that a person or organization must fulfill.

Etymology and range of meaning. The word is related to the verb naložiti, meaning to load or impose, and the noun form naloga carries the sense of something imposed or assigned for completion. Because of this, naloga covers both concrete tasks (like a homework problem or a work assignment) and more abstract duties (such as professional responsibilities or civic obligations).

Usage in different contexts. In education, naloga most often appears in phrases describing exercises, problems, or homework to be solved. In professional settings, it can refer to a specific assignment within a project or to ongoing duties associated with a role. In computing or technical language, naloga can be used to translate the concept of a task or process that a system or program must perform.

Plural and related forms. The plural form is naloge, used for multiple tasks or duties. Related terms include nalagati (to assign in the sense of imposing a task) and odgovornost (responsibility), which expands on the notion of duties associated with a role.
