Croatian term or phrase: državno tijelo
Našla sam nekoliko ekvivalenata koji bi mogli odgovarati terminu 'državno tijelo', no ne znam koja je razlika među njima i koji je najbolji: 'national authority', 'state authority' i 'state body'. Možda ima još neki ekvivalent za koji ne znam?

Državno tijelo odnosi se na određeno Ministarstvo.

Uzimajući u obzir da se ipak radi o hrvatskom Ministarstvu (ispričavam se što to nisam navela), odabrala sam ovaj odgovor. Puno hvala svima na odgovorima!

disagree  NadiaMP (X): sorry, but a "state organ" doesn't exist in any English speaking country (you can be an organ donor, or you can play organ as an instrument)

government department


Explanation:
Ako se odnosi na ministarstvo, mislim da mozete upotrijebiti ovaj termin.

Example sentence(s):
  • In Canada, four of the ten provincial governments use the term "ministry" to describe their departments (namely Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta) but the other six, along with the federal government, use the term "department".

agree  Kolumbina Benčević Tomljanović: no i "state body" je postojeći ekvivalent za ministarstva, npr. u "Britain to scrap 192 state bodies to cut costs"

  -> Hvala.
neutral  Ana Kardum: Ja ne bih pisala "department" jer je to američki engleski i nije uvriježeno u Hrvatskoj. Osim ako se naravno radi o američkom ili kanadskom ministarstvu.
