Varnostnimi

Varnostnimi is the instrumental plural form of the Slovenian adjective varnostni, which means security-related or safety-related. The underlying noun varnost means safety or security, and the adjective is formed from this stem. In Slovenian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case; varnostnimi is used with plural nouns in the instrumental case, for example after the preposition z (with) to indicate means or accompanying measures.

Varnostnimi appears mainly in policy, regulatory, and technical language to describe safety- or security-related characteristics, actions, or artifacts. Common usages include phrases such as varnostnimi ukrepi (security measures), varnostnimi standardi (security standards), or varnostnimi protokoli (security protocols). The form signals that the referenced elements relate to safety, risk mitigation, or protective controls.

Etymology and related forms: varnostnimi is derived from the root varnost (safety, security) with the adjectival suffix -ni, producing a general-purpose modifier. Related terms include varnost (safety/security), varnostni (the base masculine form), and varnostno (the neuter or adverbial/related form in some contexts). Vocational and official texts often employ varnostnimi to keep language precise and standardized when enumerating technical or administrative measures.
