meunarodni

Meunarodni is the Latin-script form used in some South Slavic languages to write the word meaning international. The standard orthography in these languages is međunarodni, with the diacritic on the letter d (đ). As an adjective, međunarodni refers to relations, activities, or entities that involve multiple nations or cross national boundaries.

Etymology and spelling: the term is built from the prefix međ- meaning between or among, combined with narodni, related to nations or people. The non-diacritic variant meunarodni appears in contexts where diacritics are not used, such as older texts, simplified typography, or certain databases.

Usage: međunarodni is used to form compound nouns and phrases describing international aspects, such as međunarodna zajednica (international community), međunarodni zakon (international law), or međunarodni aerodrom (international airport). It may be used to describe events, organizations, agreements, or standards that involve multiple nations. In proper names or formal titles, the form may appear as part of longer phrases, for example Međunarodna unija or Međunarodna organizacija.

Grammar: as an adjective, međunarodni agrees with the noun in gender and number (međunarodni, međunarodna, međunarodno for masculine, feminine, and neuter singular; forms also change in plural). Its core meaning remains “international,” distinguishing cross-border or cross-national contexts from domestic ones.
