Povabilo

Povabilo is a noun in the Slovene language meaning an invitation to attend an event, participate in an activity, or join a program. It can be delivered verbally or in writing, with written povabila common for formal occasions such as ceremonies, conferences, and official meetings.

The word derives from the verb povabiti "to invite" and the suffix -ilo. In everyday use, povabilo is often more formal or official than the synonym vabilo, and it is frequently employed in organizational or administrative contexts.

A typical povabilo specifies who is inviting, the purpose of the invitation, the date, time, and location, and any dress code or special instructions. It also includes an invitation to respond, with an RSVP contact or deadline. Modern povabila are frequently sent by letter or email and may include digital response links.

Common variants include povabilo k sodelovanju (invitation to participate) used in research, projects, or committees, and povabilo na dogodek (invitation to an event). The tone ranges from formal to semi-formal, depending on the relationship between organizer and invitee.
