vidljivo

Vidljivo is a word found in several South Slavic languages that generally denotes something that can be perceived by sight. It most often functions as an adverb meaning “visibly” or “in a way that can be seen,” and its related adjective is vidljiv, meaning “visible.” The form vidljivo is formed from the root vid- (to see) with the suffix -ljivo, which appears in these languages to create adverbial or participial adjectives. Etymologically, vidljivo traces back to Proto-Slavic roots connected with the verb videti (to see).

In use, vidljivo describes observable attributes or phenomena. It can appear in everyday speech to indicate that a change, feature, or condition is discernible to observers. It is commonly contrasted with nevidljivo, meaning “invisible.” In dictionaries for Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Slovenian, vidljivo is listed as an adverb in the sense of being visible or perceptible, with vidljiv as the corresponding adjective.
