Rights and equality
ljudska prava (human rights) is always plural; ravnopravnost (equality of rights — ravnopravnost spolova, gender equality) is narrower than the jednakost you met with abstract nouns. Their opposite is diskriminacija. Ravnopravnost žena i muškaraca je važna.
Social problems
| noun | from | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| siromaštvo | siromašan | poverty |
| ovisnost | ovisan | addiction, dependence (o + loc.) |
| dostupnost | dostupan | availability, accessibility |
| različitost | različit | diversity |
Mnoge obitelji žive u siromaštvu. Ovisnost o mobitelu je velik problem. Note the polite phrase osoba s invaliditetom (a person with a disability) — invaliditet is the disability itself.
People and relations
An aktivist fights for change; predrasuda is a prejudice; međuljudski odnosi (interpersonal relations) is the standard phrase for how people get on; voditi brigu o + locative is to take care of someone. Volonteri vode brigu o starijim ljudima. And all of it plays out on društvene mreže and shapes the kvaliteta života (quality of life).
