gospodarske

Gospodarske is an adjective used in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin. It means related to the economy or economic affairs and is derived from the noun gospodarstvo, meaning economy, or from the root gospodar, meaning master or head of a household. The term appears in contexts such as policy, industry, and business, where a connection to economic matters is intended.

In usage, gospodarske can describe policies, activities, sectors, or conditions tied to the economy. Examples include gospodarske politike (economic policy), gospodarske aktivnosti (economic activities), and gospodarska situacija (economic situation). The exact form of the adjective changes to agree with gender, number, and case (for instance, gospodarski, gospodarska, gospodarsko, or gospodarske), depending on the noun it modifies.

In modern discourse, ekonomski is also common and often used in more technical or formal contexts, while gospodarski may carry broader or more traditional connotations related to the management of resources, production, and national economic life. The term is widely used in official language, journalism, and everyday speech to denote matters concerning production, trade, finance, and development.

Related concepts include gospodarstvo (the economy), gospodarski sektor (economic sector), and gospodarska politika (economic policy). While the precise nuance can vary by country and dialect, gospodarske consistently centers on economic questions and the administration of a society’s resources.
