Primijenama

Primijenama is not a widely recognized standalone term in standard Croatian, Serbian, or Bosnian discourse. It most likely represents a nonstandard spelling or a dialectal/ historic variant related to the noun primjena, which means "application" or "usage." In standard usage, forms derived from primjena are more common, such as primjenama (instrumental plural) or primjena (nominative).

Etymology and grammatical background: The word primjena comes from the verb primijeniti, meaning to apply or to implement. It denotes the act, instance, or result of applying something. In everyday and technical language, related forms are used to describe applied practices. For example, primjena znanosti refers to the application of science, and primijenjena znanost denotes applied science. The feminine adjective primijenjena, as in primijenjena tehnologija, means "applied" technology. The instrumental plural form primjenama is used with prepositions to indicate “in the applications” or “with applications,” as in u primjenama tehnologija.

Usage notes: If you encounter the exact string primijenama, it is usually a misspelling or dialectal variant of primjenama or a misrendering of related forms. In standard grammar, prefer primjenama (instrumental plural) or primjena (singular noun) depending on the intended meaning. The term is chiefly found in discussions of applied fields, technology, and policy where the concept of applying methods or knowledge is central.
