Prevoza

Prevoza is the genitive singular form of the noun prevoz in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. The base noun refers to transport, conveyance, or shipment. As a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexeme, prevoza is used to express possession or relation to transport within a sentence.

Etymology and form: The word derives from the same root as prevoz, which is linked to the concept of carrying or moving objects. The genitive singular ending -a marks the form prevoza in standard inflection, though exact usage may vary by dialect and language.

Grammatical usage: Prevoza appears in constructions that require the genitive case, such as after numerals, adjectives, or other words that govern genitive. It is commonly found in phrases describing transport-related concepts, costs, or attributes, where the relationship to transport is being specified. Because it is a case form, its meaning is tied to the surrounding noun and the syntactic role rather than to a distinct lexical sense.

Relation to related terms: The basic, nominative form is prevoz (or prijevoz in some varieties), meaning transport or shipment. Variants in spelling and inflection can occur across dialects and standard varieties, affecting when and how prevoza is used in discourse.

See also: prevoz, prijevoz, transport.

Note: Since prevoza is primarily a grammatical form, it is typically encountered in inflected expressions rather than as an independent concept. Its interpretation depends on the surrounding context and the governing syntactic structure.
