korisniku

Korisniku is a grammatical form used in Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. It is the dative singular and the locative singular form of the masculine noun korisnik, which means “user.” The form is used to indicate the indirect object “to the user” or to mark a location or topic in sentences that require the locative case, depending on the preposition or verb in use.

The noun korisnik itself means “user” (one who uses something) and is built from the root kor ist (use, benefit) with the agentive suffix -nik. Its standard declined forms include nominative korisnik, genitive korisnika, dative korisniku, accusative korisnika, vocative korisniče, locative korisniku, and instrumental korisnikom.

Usage notes: Korisniku appears in phrases that require the dative or locative case. Examples include “davanje knjige korisniku” (giving the book to the user), which uses the dative form, and “govor o korisniku” (talking about the user), which uses the locative form after the preposition o. In software localization and documentation written in these languages, korisniku may appear in user interface text when referring to actions or information related to a recipient or subject of the action in the appropriate grammatical case.
