Istraivanju

Istraivanju is the dative or locative singular form of the neuter noun istraživanje, used in Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin to mean investigation or research. The base noun denotes the act or process of investigating, studying, or inquiring, and it is formed from the verb istraživati (to investigate or research).

Origin and related forms: The word istrazivanje stems from the same root as the verb istraživati. The noun can be used in various grammatical cases, with istrazivanju appearing where the dative or locative form is required. Related terms include istraživanje (the general act of investigation or research), istraživač (researcher), and istraživački (adjective form meaning research-related).

Usage and contexts: Istraivanju appears in formal and written language in contexts describing acts of investigation or research directed toward a subject or within a given framework. It is commonly encountered in academic, scientific, and professional discourse, as well as in governmental or institutional reporting that discusses ongoing or planned inquiries. In everyday language, the more general noun istraživanje is often used instead.

Distinctions: Istraživanje (investigation, research) is a broad term for the activity itself, while istraga refers to a police or legal investigation. Istraivanju, as a case form of istraživanje, functions grammatically to fit sentences that require the respective case, rather than changing the meaning of the root concept.
