Privremene

Privremene is a grammatical form used in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian, to express the idea of something temporary or provisional. It is the feminine plural nominative form of the adjective privremen, which denotes temporariness. The form agrees with feminine plural nouns and appears in contexts describing temporary status, conditions, or measures.

Typical usage involves feminine plural nouns. For example, privremene mjere means temporary measures, privremene zgrade means temporary buildings, and privremene stanice can refer to temporary stations. In official or formal discourse, privremene is common when outlining arrangements that are not intended to be permanent.

Semantics and function: privremene emphasizes that a situation or object is not assumed to be permanent and may change. It often accompanies plans, facilities, or regulations that are intended to be replaced or revised later.

Related forms include privremenost (temporariness), which names the quality itself; and privremeno, an adverb meaning temporarily. The base adjective has other gendered forms as well, such as privremen (masculine singular or mixed gender) and privremeni (masculine plural), illustrating standard South Slavic adjective inflection.

The term is primarily a grammatical and lexicographic item rather than a separate lexical entry. Its use is widespread in contemporary administrative, legal, and everyday language when describing non-permanent situations.
