povratak

Povratak is a word in several South Slavic languages, most commonly Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian, meaning "return" or "comeback." As a noun, it denotes the act of returning and is also frequently used as a title for various works.

In culture, Povratak is widely used as a title for films, music albums, and literary works in the Croatian-, Bosnian-, and Serbian-language spheres. When used as a title, it typically signals themes of coming back after an absence, reunion, or reintegration.

Etymology: Povratak is derived from a root meaning return, with the prefix po- and standard Slavic noun-forming patterns. The form is standard across related languages and is declined according to grammatical case and number in each language.

Usage note: Because of its broad meaning, many unrelated works share the same title. If a reader seeks a specific Povratak, additional identifiers such as author, year, or medium are needed to distinguish among works.
