elektronsko

Elektronsko is an adjective used in South Slavic languages such as Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin to mean electronic or relating to electronics. It is formed from the noun elektron (electron) and the adjectival suffix -ski/-sko/-ska. The neuter singular form elektronsko is commonly used with neuter nouns or in generic expressions, while masculine elektronski and feminine elektronska agree with the gender of the noun.

In typical usage, elektronsko describes things that operate with or through electronic means, often in contrast to their non-electronic counterparts. For example, elektronsko računalo (electronic computer) refers to a computer that processes information electronically; elektronska pošta refers to electronic mail. The term is widespread in technology, industry, government, and everyday life, reflecting the growing role of digital and electronic processes.

Common phrases include elektronsko plaćanje (electronic payment), elektronsko poslovanje (electronic business or e-business), elektronsko glasanje (electronic voting), and elektronske usluge (electronic services). In many contexts elektronsko is used interchangeably with digital or online, but it typically emphasizes the electronic rather than purely online or software-based aspects.

Grammar notes: elektronsko is the neuter singular form of the adjective; elektronski is used with masculine nouns, elektronska with feminine nouns, and elektronske with plural forms. The choice of form depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies.
