digitalno

Digitalno is a term used in several South Slavic languages, including Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, to denote something that relates to digital technologies or digital data. It functions as an adjective or adverb and is widely employed in discussions of computing, communication, media, and the economy. The form changes to agree with gender and noun class in each language (for example digitalni, digitalna, digitalno) while preserving the core meaning of "digital."

Etymology: The term is derived from the Latin digitalis, via the English digital, and was borrowed into South Slavic languages. It is connected with digits and binary digits used in modern computing.

Usage: It describes devices, systems, processes, content, and behavior that involve digital encoding and processing. Examples include digitalno doba (the digital age), digitalna transformacija (digital transformation), digitalni signali (digital signals), and digitalno zdravstvo (digital health). The adverbial sense digitalno is common when describing actions performed in a digital format, such as digitalno pristupanje or digitalno dostavljanje.
