svatko

svatko is a Croatian and Serbian word that translates to "everyone" or "everybody" in English. It is a pronoun used to refer to all individuals within a group or in a general sense. The word is derived from the Slavic root "svoj," meaning "one's own," and is combined with the suffix "-tko," which denotes a person or individual.

In everyday usage, svatko can be employed in various contexts. For instance, "Svatko zna istinu" translates to "Everyone knows the truth," indicating that a particular piece of information is widely known. It can also be used to express a universal principle or obligation, such as "Svatko mora platiti porez," meaning "Everyone must pay taxes." The word's universality makes it a common and essential part of the Croatian and Serbian languages, facilitating clear communication when referring to all members of a collective or humanity as a whole.
