uredne

Uredne is a feminine plural form of the adjective meaning neat, tidy, or orderly in several South Slavic languages, notably Slovenian and Croatian. The form derives from the verb urediti, meaning to arrange, and from the related adjective uredan/uredna/uredno. It is used to describe nouns that are feminine and plural, agreeing in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies.

In Slovenian grammar, uredne appears as the feminine plural nominative and accusative form. It is commonly used before feminine plural nouns such as sobe (rooms) or dokumenti (documents). For example, “Uredne sobe so čiste” means the tidy rooms are clean. In Croatian and Bosnian, the form functions similarly, with phrases like “uređene sobe” meaning tidy rooms. The term can also be used in more abstract contexts to describe well-organized systems or procedures, such as “uređene postupke” (well-organized procedures) or “uređene institucije” (orderly institutions).

As a grammatical form, uredne illustrates how adjectives in these languages agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case. Beyond its descriptive use, the word often conveys a positive evaluation of orderliness and neatness in both tangible objects and organizational contexts.
