pozitifni

Pozitivni is an adjective used in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Slovenian, meaning positive.

The term covers a range of senses, from favorable or affirmative evaluations to numerical or qualitative quantities that are greater than zero.

In mathematics and the sciences it denotes quantities greater than zero, such as positive numbers. In medical or diagnostic contexts it describes a positive test result. It also appears in everyday speech to describe a favorable condition or outlook, for example a positive attitude or positive energy, as well as positive trends in data or outcomes.

Grammatically, adjectives like pozitivni are inflected for gender and number in these languages. The form poz iti vni is commonly used as part of standard inflection patterns, with corresponding forms for feminine, neuter, singular, and plural contexts. The word often appears alongside its less favorable opposites, such as negativan, to express contrasts.
