ispunjeno

Ispunjeno is a term used in South Slavic languages, notably Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin, meaning fulfilled or completed. It is the neuter singular past passive participle of the verb ispuniti (to fulfill, to complete) and functions as an adjective or participle that agrees with the noun it modifies. The form is part of a broader set of gendered and numbered variations found in these languages, including masculine ispunjen, feminine ispunjena, and plural ispunjeni, ispunjene, ispunjena, among others.

In usage, ispuneno describes states or results that have been attained. It commonly appears in administrative, legal, and formal contexts to indicate compliance with requirements or standards, as well as in everyday language to express that promises, conditions, or criteria have been met. Example phrases include ispunjeno obećanje (a fulfilled promise) and uslovi su ispunjeni (the conditions have been fulfilled). The neuter form is frequently used when the modified noun is neuter, such as ispunjeno pravilo (the fulfilled rule) or ispunjeno iskustvo (the fulfilled experience), though more natural phrasing often places the predicate in a verbal construction like pravilo je ispunjeno.

Etymology traces ispuniti to the prefix is- plus puniti (to fill), with -eno marking the neuter singular past participle in these languages. The word is common in formal writing and persists as a standard descriptor of completed actions or satisfied requirements.
