Dokumentacijom

Dokumentacijom is the instrumental singular form of the noun dokumentacija, used in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. The basic meaning aligns with documentation or the set of documents related to a task, project, or process. In its instrumental sense, dokumentacijom denotes the means, medium, or accompaniment by which something is done, often indicating that actions are performed with or using documentation.

In practice, dokumentacijom commonly appears in phrases with prepositions that take the instrumental case, such as sa dokumentacijom (with the documentation) or uz dokumentaciju (with the documentation, more general). It is also used to refer to the documentation as a resource supporting verification, compliance, audits, or technical analysis. The form is found primarily in formal, administrative, technical, and legal texts.

Etymology: derived from dokumentacija, itself from Latin documentum, with the Slavic noun-forming suffix -acija, resulting in the modern terms for 'documentation' and related meanings. The instrumental form dokumentacijom reflects standard Slavic grammar for feminine nouns ending in -acija.
