Vplyvom

Vplyvom is the instrumental singular form of the Slovenian noun vpliv, which denotes influence or impact. The term is used to describe the capacity to affect the behavior, development, or decisions of individuals, groups, organizations, or events. In standard Slovenian, vpliv is the base noun, and vplivom is the instrumental form used after prepositions that require the instrumental case, such as pod vplivom (under the influence of).

Usage and meaning. Vplyvom functions in both everyday language and specialized discourse to refer to the effect exerted by a person, idea, process, or phenomenon. It can describe political, cultural, economic, or social influence, and is often paired with verbs and adjectives to indicate strength or direction of impact. The term is closely related to synonyms such as učinek (effect) and vplivanje (influence as a process), but vpliv and its instrumental form focus on the capacity to cause change.

Grammatical notes. Vpliv is masculine and typically used in descriptive or analytical contexts. Its instrumental form vplyvom appears after phrases that require instrumental case, most notably with the preposition pod (as in pod vplivom alkohola, under the influence of alcohol). The concept is commonly discussed in studies of power, media, policy, and social dynamics.
