sjeverozapadni

Sjeverozapadni is a Croatian adjective meaning "northwestern". It is used to denote a direction or a location that is situated between the north and the west. For example, "sjeverozapadni vjetar" translates to "northwestern wind", indicating a wind blowing from the northwest. Similarly, "sjeverozapadni dio grada" means "northwestern part of the city".

The term is derived from the two cardinal directions, "sjever" (north) and "zapad" (west), with the suffix "-ni" indicating an adjective. It is a common directional term in Croatian and is used in various contexts, including geography, meteorology, and everyday language. The opposite direction would be "jugoistočni" (southeastern).

In geographical terms, regions or areas described as sjeverozapadni typically lie in the quadrant between north and west on a compass. This could refer to a specific geographical region within a country or a general direction relative to a point of reference. For instance, the northwestern part of Europe, or the northwestern coast of an island. Understanding "sjeverozapadni" is key to interpreting directions and locations within Croatian-speaking environments.
