Supposedly a noun meaning “in vain, without success.” Either the POS is wrong and this is an adverb, or the definition is wrong (I guess it could be “something done in vain”) — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 23:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

The Slovenian entry was added by Bogorm (talk • contribs), and worked on later by CodeCat (talk • contribs), who both seem to be knowledgable about the language. Given that the Serbo-Croatian entries (Roman and Cyrillic scripts) both have it as an adverb, I suspect it was an absent-minded error that got overlooked by CodeCat because she was concentrating on other things.

Even the inflection line template had it as an adverb. L3 header changed. DCDuring TALK 03:28, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

It's an adverb. I can confirm that "zaman" means "in vain", "to no avail", e.g. "vse je zaman" - "it's all in vain". --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 03:31, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
