razmere

Razmere is a term used in several South Slavic languages, notably Slovenian, Croatian, and Serbian, with meanings connected to measurement, size, and proportional relations. In Slovenian, razmere commonly denotes the dimensions or measurements of an object or space, for example razmere sobe meaning the dimensions of a room. In Croatian and Serbian, the cognate forms razmjeri or razmjere refer to proportions or scale, such as the proportions of a diagram or model.

Etymology and related terms: The word family comes from roots related to measuring, with raz- serving as a prefix that forms degrees or divisions of measurement. This underlying sense—size, extent, or proportion—maps to different uses in the various languages, depending on context and grammatical form.

Usage contexts: In technical and design fields, razmere (Slovenian) or razmjeri/razmjere (Croatian/Serbian) are used when specifying how large something is or how its parts relate in size. In architecture, cartography, and art, accurate dimensions and proportional relationships are described using these terms. The broader idea across languages is to communicate the space a object occupies or how its parts relate to each other in size.

Other notes: Razmere may appear as a proper noun in some rare contexts, such as place names or surnames, but such uses are uncommon and not tied to a single established meaning. See also dimensions, measurements, proportions, and scale.
