Raziskavah

Raziskavah is a Slovenian grammatical form of the noun raziskava, meaning research, study, or investigation. It is not a separate concept, but the locative plural of raziskava, used with prepositions that govern the locative case (such as v, o, pri, na). In sentences, it signals a reference to “the studies” or “the researches” in a topic context, rather than to a single study.

The base word onderzoeks? In Slovenian, raziskava derives from the verb raziskovati, to investigate. The feminine noun forms are: nominative singular raziskava, nominative plural raziskave; locative plural becomes raziskavah, instrumental plural raziskavami, dative plural raziskavam, among others. This pattern is typical for many feminine nouns ending in -a.

Usage and meaning: raziskavah is commonly found in academic, scientific, and policy writing when discussing multiple studies or a body of research. It appears after prepositions that require the locative case, for example: “v raziskavah,” “o raziskavah,” or “pri raziskavah.” It helps position statements within the context of existing studies.

Examples:

- V raziskavah so ugotovili pomembne vzorce. (In the studies they identified important patterns.)

- Poročila o raziskavah so bila predstavljena na konferenci. (Reports about the studies were presented at the conference.)
