neodvisne

Neodvisne is a Slovenian feminine plural form of the adjective neodvisen, meaning not dependent or independent. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns in the nominative and accusative cases. Like other Slovenian adjectives, neodvisne agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. For example: neodvisne države (independent states), neodvisne organizacije (independent organizations).

Etymology and structure: the word is formed from the negating prefix ne- attached to odvisen, which means dependent. The combination yields a term indicating lack of dependence or autonomy. This form follows the regular patterns of Slovenian adjectival inflection, aligning with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Usage: neodvisne appears in contexts discussing autonomy, independence, or lack of external control. It can describe institutions, groups, or processes considered free from external influence. While often translated as “independent,” its precise sense depends on context and may contrast with odvisne (dependent) or with neodvisnost (independence) as a noun.

Related terms: odvisnost (dependency), neodvisnost (independence), neodvisen (base masculine singular form). The term integates into broader discussions of political sovereignty, organizational autonomy, and scientific or cultural analyses where autonomy is a key attribute.

Notes: As with other Slovenian adjectives, correct usage requires matching neodvisne to the noun’s gender, number, and case. In everyday language, it is most commonly encountered in reference to states, organizations, or individuals described as independent.
