Zdrojmi

Zdrojmi is the instrumental plural form of the noun zdroj, which denotes a source, origin, or resource. In Slovak, zdroj is masculine; its nominative plural is zdroje, and its instrumental plural is zdrojmi. The form zdrojmi is used primarily in constructions where the noun functions as the means or accompaniment, often after the preposition s (with) or in other instrumental contexts. Example sentences include: "s rôznymi zdrojmi informácií" (with various sources of information) and "text bol podložený viacerými zdrojmi" (the text was supported by several sources).

In practice, zdrojmi appears in contexts referring to information sources as well as physical resources. It can denote multiple sources of data, literature, or evidence, and it is also used for natural or energetic resources, such as "energetické zdroje" (energy sources) or "vodné zdroje" (water sources). Beyond concrete resources, the term can be used figuratively to indicate origins or beginnings of ideas, practices, or trends when expressed with instrumental meaning.

Relationship to other forms is straightforward: zdroj is the singular form, zdroje the nominative plural, and zdrojmi the instrumental plural. The instrumental form is a common feature in Slovak for expressing means,伴along with, or with reference to multiple items in a sentence, and it appears frequently in academic, journalistic, and technical writing.
