Names of professions

And other words that describe  people

Most profession names in Croatian come in both forms (masculine and feminine), although some professions have only one form. In formal documents and situations today, the tendency is to use the masculine forms as the generic way to refer to either a man or a woman performing the work. In conversational and very informal situations, both forms are widely used.
