detaljene

Detaljene is a feminine plural form of the adjective detaljan used in South Slavic languages such as Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. It conveys the sense of "detailed" or "in detail" when describing feminine plural nouns. As a declined form, detaljene agrees with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies; in common positions it precedes feminine plural nouns.

In practice, detaljene appears before feminine plural nouns to indicate thoroughness or precision. For example, it is used with nouns such as informacije, upute, or specifikacije to express the idea of detailed information, detailed instructions, or detailed specifications. The exact spelling and usage can vary by dialect and standard variety, and forms such as detaljne may be encountered in similar contexts while preserving the same core meaning.

Detallan forms in other genders and numbers include the masculine plural detaljni and the neuter singular detaljno, reflecting the rich inflection system of these languages. The adverbial form to express “in detail” is detaljno, which is used independently of the feminine plural adjective form.

Etymology traces detaljene to the root detal- meaning detail, with the form developed within the South Slavic language family. The root itself is linked to the broader concept of particulars and specifics and has close analogs in related languages, often via borrowing and adaptation from other European languages during the period of standardization.
