Pravnog

Pravnog is a form of the adjective pravni, meaning legal or pertaining to law, used in several South Slavic languages such as Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. It most commonly appears in the genitive singular, modifying masculine or neuter nouns, for example in phrases like pravnog sistema (of the legal system) or pravnog statusa (of legal status). In many legal and administrative texts, pravnog serves to express belonging to or concern with law.

In usage, pravnog functions similarly to other genitive forms of adjectives, linking a noun to a legal or normative concept. The corresponding adverb is pravno, used to mean legally or lawfully, as in pravno važeći ili priznato (legally valid). The base form pravni is the masculine nominative singular adjective; other gender and case forms adjust accordingly in sentences. Common contexts for pravnog include legal frameworks, regulatory documents, and academic discussions of law or right.

Etymology traces pravnog back to pravo, meaning law or right, with pravni deriving from that root. The term is part of a productive legal vocabulary across the languages in which it appears, often forming compounds and noun phrases that designate aspects of law, legality, or legal procedures. As such, pravnog is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item, functioning within broader expressions to denote relations to law or legal matters.
