Obektivny

Obektivny is a Slavic adjective that means “objective,” “unbiased,” or “neutral.” It is most commonly found in Ukrainian and Russian, where it is written obektivnyi (українською: об’єктивний). The word is derived from the Greek root word “echo” (ἐκ) meaning “out” and “see” (ὁραξις), which together form the loan word “objective” in English, and the structure follows the usual Slavic adjectival pattern.

In Ukrainian and Russian grammar, obektivny agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. The adjective is used in everyday speech and written texts to denote an attitude or approach that is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions. For example, a journalist might describe a piece as obektivny but for rather odd the practice is more common in Ukrainian and Russian.

In the philosophical literature the term is used as a counterpart to the subjective, defining a state of mind that is uninfluenced by personal prejudices. In science it is a standard requirement for research methodology and the term is seen in references such as “obektivny metod” (objective method) or “obektivny analiz” (objective analysis). The word is also sometimes used in everyday contexts to describe music, films, and art that are not emotionally driven.

Obektivny is thus an adjective that indicates neutrality, impartiality, or factuality, and it is used in a wide variety of contexts from academic writing and scientific research to everyday conversation.
