Zdravlje i zdravstvo
On Croatian Words zdravlje, zdravstvo and zdravstveni

Summary/Abstract: In the paper the authors analyze the difference in meaning of the nouns zdravlje and zdravstvo using Croatian dictionaries and Croatian National Corpus and argue that the name of the ministry should be Ministrarstvo zdravstva (Ministry of Health Care) and not Ministarstvo zdravlja (Ministry of Health) whereas a health centre should be called dom zdravlja and not dom zdravstva. They also show that there are two adjectives zdravstveni, one relating to the word zdravlje (health) and the other to the word zdravstvo (health care).
