uloge

Uloge is the plural form of uloga, a term used in Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian to denote a role, function, duty, or assignment that a person or thing has within a system, group, or narrative. The word is used across formal and informal registers and in a wide range of domains.

In theater and film, uloga specifies the character portrayed by an actor. In sociology and everyday life, it refers to social roles such as parent, student, employee, or citizen and to the expectations and behaviors associated with those roles.

In organizational contexts, uloge describe job responsibilities and authority within a team or company. In information technology, korisničke uloge or radne uloge define permissions and access rights, shaping how users interact with systems and data.

In linguistics, semantičke uloge (semantic roles) describe functions of participants in events, such as agent, patient, experiencer, or beneficiary, and help explain sentence structure and meaning.

Regional usage varies slightly by language; in standard Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian, the singular is uloga and the plural is uloge, with spelling and diacritics adjusted per standard. The term remains neutral and widely understood, overlapping with but distinct from related terms such as dužnost (duty) or pozicija (position).
