objektivna

Objektivna is the feminine singular form of the adjective meaning objective or impartial in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. It describes something based on facts and free from personal bias. The form agrees with feminine nouns, as in objektivna istina (objective truth) or objektivna procjena (objective assessment).

In grammar, objektivna is used attributively to modify feminine nouns and predicatively in sentences with feminine subjects. For example, "Ona je objektivna," or more commonly, "To je objektivna procjena." The related noun objektivnost denotes the concept of objectivity.

The term is widely used in journalism, science, law, and everyday language to emphasize lack of bias and reliance on verifiable evidence. It is derived from the base object and the adjective-forming suffix -ivan, with the root objekt- connected to the Latin origin objectivus via historical Slavic development. The neuter and masculine forms are objektivno and objektivan, respectively.

Related concepts include objektivnost (objectivity) and nepristrasnost (impartiality). The root objekt- appears across many Slavic languages and parallels the English word objective through common Indo-European roots.
