vidljive

Vidljive is a grammatical form found in several South Slavic languages, notably Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. It is the feminine plural form of the adjective vidljiv, meaning visible. As such, vidljive is used to describe feminine plural nouns and can appear in both attributive and predicative positions, depending on the sentence structure.

In usage, vidljive agrees with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. For example, in the nominative case it can appear as “vidljive činjenice” (visible facts) or “vidljive zvijezde” (visible stars). In a predicate position, a sentence like “Sve stvari su vidljive” conveys that all things are visible, with vidljive matching the feminine plural subject “stvari.”

Etymology traces vidljiv to the root vid- meaning “to see,” plus a Slavic adjectival suffix, yielding a term that denotes perception or perceptibility. The form vidljive specifically marks feminine plural agreement and is part of a broader inflection pattern that includes masculine singular vidljiv, feminine singular vidljiva, and other related forms such as nevidljiv (invisible) and vidljivi (masculine plural).

In usage, vidljive appears across everyday language, journalism, and formal writing when describing what is perceivable or perceptibly present. It contrasts with nevidljive (invisible) and with other colorable gradations of visibility.
