Preciznog

Preciznog is the masculine singular genitive form of the adjective precizan, meaning precise, used in several South Slavic languages such as Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. It also commonly appears as the masculine singular accusative form in many contexts. This form is employed before masculine singular nouns when the noun phrase is in the genitive or accusative case, for example in phrases like preciznog plana (of a precise plan) or preciznog mjerenja (of precise measurement).

In broader grammar, precizan has the typical Slavic adjective paradigm, with precizan as the masculine nominative, precizna as the feminine nominative, and precizno as the neuter nominative. The corresponding genitive/accusative form for masculine singular is preciznog. The associated adverb is precizno, used to modify verbs (“do it precisely”). The related noun preciznost denotes precision or accuracy.

Etymologywise, precizan and its inflected forms trace back to a Romance source meaning precise, with adoption into South Slavic languages during the modern period. The term reflects standard semantic development from the base meaning of exactness and carefulness.

Usage notes: Preciznog is not a standalone headword in dictionaries; it is a declined form used within noun phrases to convey possession or measurement attributes. Its use is common in technical, scientific, or formal prose where precision is a key descriptor.
