Inovacioni

Inovacioni is an adjective used in several South Slavic languages, including Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin, to denote a relation to innovation. It is derived from the noun inovacija (innovation) and is employed to describe things that involve or promote innovation. The masculine singular form is inovacioni, with feminine and neuter variants used to agree with the noun they modify (for example, inovaciona in feminine or inovaciono in neuter).

In practice, inovacioni appears in technical, business, and public-sector discourse. Common collocations include inovacioni proces (innovation process), inovacioni ekosistem (innovation ecosystem), and inovacioni pristup (innovation-oriented approach). The term is distinct from inovacija, the noun for “innovation,” and from inovativni, another adjective meaning “innovative.”

Etymology and usage context: The root inovacija comes from the Latin innovatio and was adapted into South Slavic languages as a base noun for “innovation.” The adjective inovacioni is formed from that root using standard Slavic adjectival suffixes to express “relating to innovation.” It remains primarily a formal or technical term rather than everyday speech.
