Savjetodavna

Savjetodavna is an adjective used in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian to describe something that provides advice or counsel, i.e., advisory or consultative in nature. It is derived from the noun savjet meaning advice, with the suffix -odavna, and it agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. Common uses include savjetodavna služba (an advisory service), savjetodavno tijelo (an advisory body), and savjetodavna uloga (an advisory role).

In practice, savjetodavna entities focus on information, guidance and recommendations rather than enforcement. They may operate in agriculture, education, health, or public administration. Examples include savjetodavna služba for farmers, which provides technical advice; and savjetodavni panel for policy consultation. The term signals that the primary function is to advise, not to decide or regulate.

Linguistic notes indicate that the form inflects for gender and number in standard South Slavic grammar: savjetodavni (masculine), savjetodavna (feminine), and savjetodavno (neuter), with corresponding plural forms adapting to the nouns they modify. The adjective is widely understood across dialects of the region, and in some contexts may be translated or replaced by synonyms such as konsultan or konzultativan, depending on register and specificity.
