izazovom

Izazovom is the instrumental singular form of the noun izazov, which in Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian means “challenge.” As a grammatical form, izazovom denotes instrumentality or means by which something is done, and it also appears in phrases that describe facing or dealing with a challenge. The base form is izazov (nominative), with izazovom as the instrumental singular and izazovima as the instrumental plural.

Etymology and form: izazov originates from the root zov (call) with the prefix iz-, conveying a sense of calling out or presenting a difficult task. The word is widely used in both everyday language and formal contexts to refer to tasks, tests, or situations that require effort or skill.

Usage: The instrumental form izazovom is used with prepositions such as s (with) to express instrumentality or with phrases that describe dealing with a challenge. Common examples include nositi se s izazovom (to cope with a challenge) or reagirati na izazov s odlukom (to respond to a challenge with resolve). The form is primarily a grammatical tool and is not typically used to refer to physical implements; its meaning centers on challenge as a figurative or abstract obstacle.
