Informisanih

Informisanih is a term used in South Slavic languages, notably Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian, to refer to a group described as "the informed." It is the genitive plural form of the adjective informisan, and it appears in phrases such as informisanih građana ("informed citizens"), where it functions as part of a larger noun phrase rather than as a stand-alone noun.

Origin and meaning: The root informisan comes from the concept of being informed or having information, with the ending -ih marking the genitive plural in these languages. Because informisanih is case-specific, its use depends on grammatical construction. In media and public discourse, informisanih is commonly used to describe people who base opinions on data, research, or credible sources, in contrast to those perceived as uninformed or misinformed.

Usage and connotations: The term carries neutral descriptive value in some contexts, but can be rhetorical or pejorative in others, especially in debates about expertise, media literacy, or populism. It is often employed to emphasize an evidence-based stance or to critique perceived informational deficiencies in a group.
