Postavljena

Postavljena is a term used in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Slovenian. It functions as the feminine singular past passive participle of the verb postaviti, meaning to place, set, or install. As an adjective, postavljena describes something that has been placed or installed. For example, postavljena skulptura means an erected sculpture, and postavljena tabla can refer to a sign that has been put up. The form agrees with the noun it modifies, following standard Slavic grammar.

In toponymy, the word may appear in local place names or feature designations in areas where these languages are spoken, often indicating a feature that has been placed or established there. However, it is not a widely used, internationally standardized place name, and any specific local usage should be checked against regional gazetteers or maps.

Etymology: postavljena comes from the verb postaviti, with the feminine participle ending -ena, forming the past passive participle.
