Summary/Abstract: The article draws attention to the terminological confusion caused by the unjustified co-existence of four adjective derivatives: kurikulumski, kurikularni, kurikulni i kurikulski. The author explains why the maladjusted foreign words such as kurikulum, kurikulumski i kurikularni have no place in the standard Croatian language, and why the adjective kurikulni is normatively more acceptable in standard Croatian language and therefore takes precedence over the adjective kurikulski.
