izlazi

Izlazi is a word used in several South Slavic languages, notably Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. It has two main grammatical uses: as the present-tense, third-person singular form of the verb izlaziti, and as the plural noun form of the noun izlaz, meaning exits.

As a verb, izlazi appears in sentences indicating leaving or appearing, as in "The person exits the house," or in publishing contexts where it means a publication is released. For example, in everyday usage one might say that someone "izlazi iz kuće svaki dan," meaning they goes out of the house every day. In publishing, phrases such as "Novi broj časopisa izlazi danas" convey that the new issue of a magazine is out today. The sense can extend to general releases or appearances in various contexts.

As a noun, izlazi denotes multiple exits. For instance, "Na zgradi postoje dva izlaza" means there are two exits in the building, and "Na karti zgrade označeni su izlazi" indicates that the exits are marked on the building map. The noun form is common in signage, floor plans, and safety instructions.

Etymology and usage notes: izlazi derives from the noun izlaz, meaning exit or way out, with the plural form used for multiple exits. In Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian, the word can function either as a verb form or as a plural noun, with context clarifying the intended meaning. The exact nuance may vary slightly by dialect, but the core meanings remain consistent across the languages.
