Reglamentàries

Reglamentàries is the feminine plural form of the Catalan adjective reglamentari, meaning regulatory or pertaining to regulation. The term is used to describe rules, norms, provisions, or instruments established to govern a specific domain. In practice, it commonly appears in phrases such as mesures reglamentàries (regulatory measures), normes reglamentàries (regulatory standards), or disposicions reglamentàries (regulatory provisions). It can also function as a noun when referring to a set of regulatory provisions collectively, although in formal writing it is typical to use the noun forms accompanying the term.

Etymology and form: Reglamentàries derives from reglamentari, which in turn comes from the root reglament (regulation) with the adjectival suffix -ari. The feminine plural form agrees with feminine plural nouns such as mesures, normes, or disposicions.

Usage contexts: The term is mainly found in legal, administrative, and policy texts in Catalan. It is used to distinguish rules that have a binding or regulatory character from more general normative language. In translations or bilingual documents, reglamentàries may be rendered as “regulatory” or “regulatory provisions,” depending on context.

Notes: While reglamentàries is primarily a Catalan form, similar compounds exist in related languages (with varying spellings). In Catalan discourse, it is common to pair reglamentàries with feminine nouns to emphasize the regulatory nature of the provisions being described.
