svjesne

Svjesne is the feminine plural form of the adjective svjesan in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. It generally means "conscious" or "aware" and is used to describe subjects that have awareness, knowledge, or intentionality. The root svjes- derives from the noun svjesnost or svijest (consciousness, awareness), and appears across these languages in various grammatical forms.

In usage, svjesne modifies feminine plural nouns. Examples include svjesne osobe (aware people) and svjesne odluke (conscious decisions). The corresponding forms for other genders and numbers are svjesna (feminine singular), svjesni (masculine plural), and svjesno (neuter or adverbial usage, as in svjesno). The term is common in everyday speech as well as in journalism and education.

Semantically, svjesne denotes awareness of facts or consequences, and, when applied to actions, intentionality or deliberation. The related noun svjesnost or svijest denotes consciousness or awareness as a state or faculty.

Note that svjesne is a language-specific inflection and should agree with the noun it describes. The word is standard in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian orthography and grammar, and does not imply any political or religious affiliation.
