prisutne

Prisutne is a feminine plural form of the adjective meaning present or in attendance in several South Slavic languages. It is used in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian to agree with feminine plural nouns or noun phrases, and can also function in predicative positions after a linking verb. The base form in these languages is prisutan (masculine singular), prisutna (feminine singular), prisutno (neuter singular), prisutni (masculine plural), with prisutne serving as the feminine plural form.

In usage, prisutne typically describes people or things that are physically present at an event, meeting, or location. Examples include phrases such as sve prisutne osobe (all present persons) or na sastanku su prisutne sve članice tima (at the meeting, all female team members are present). The form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it describes.

Cognate forms and related terms appear in neighboring languages. In Slovenian, a closely related word is prisotne (feminine plural of the adjective prisoten, meaning present or in attendance), used in similar contexts. The concept is also connected to prisustvo, which denotes attendance or presence as a noun.

Prisutne appears mainly in descriptive or formal contexts, such as event reports, meeting minutes, or official announcements. It contrasts with masculine or neuter forms of the same root, which are used when the subject is grammatically masculine or neuter. Overall, prisutne is a standard, neutral term for indicating presence in feminine plural constructions.
