Objavila

Objavila is the feminine singular past participle of the verb objaviti in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Slovenian. It translates roughly as “she published” or “she announced” and marks a completed action by a female subject. The form also functions as a past passive participle used adjectivally, for example in objavljena vijest meaning “the published news.”

Grammatical use and forms: In Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, past tense is typically formed with an auxiliary verb (such as je) and the feminine participle objavila, as in Ona je objavila vijest (She published the news) or Objavila je knjigu (She published a book). In Slovenian, the feminine past participle behaves similarly, as in Objavila je knjigo (She published a book). The masculine, neuter, and plural forms parallel objavlj- forms: masculine objavio, neuter objavilo, feminine objavila; plural objavili/objavile depending on gender and number.

Etymology and usage notes: objaviti is derived from ob- plus javiti, indicating the act of making something public or announcing. As a participle, objavila can appear in passive constructions or as an attributive adjective, such as objavljena vijest or objavljena priopćenja, where the participle agrees with the noun in gender and number.
