poslovna

Poslovna is a feminine singular adjective used in Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian and Slovenian to denote something related to business or commerce. It agrees with feminine nouns, for example poslovna godina (fiscal year), poslovna zgrada (office building), poslovna saradnja (business cooperation).

The word is derived from the noun posao, meaning “business” or “task,” through a common South Slavic adjectival formation. In practice, poslovna appears in administrative, economic and legal language to distinguish commercial or professional matters from personal or public ones. It is frequently used in compound terms describing processes, institutions or relationships in the business sector, such as poslovna korespondencija (business correspondence), poslovna politika (business policy), poslovna dokumentacija (business documentation) and poslovna praksa (business practice).

Beyond formal language, poslovna also appears in branding, marketing and place names to indicate a business-oriented identity or function. The term is versatile and widely understood across the affected languages, functioning as a standard descriptor for activities, entities or contexts tied to commerce, industry or professional affairs.
