mehanizmima

Mehanizamima is the instrumental plural form of the noun mehanizam in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian. Mehanizam means a device, mechanism, or system designed to perform a function. As instrumental plural, mehanizmima expresses the means or instruments by which an action is performed, or refers to a group of mechanisms used in a process. It is typically used after prepositions that require the instrumental case, for example sa mehanizmima (with mechanisms) or uz mehanizmima (by means of mechanisms).

Etymology: The noun mehanizam is a loanword from Western European languages, ultimately from Greek mechanē, through Latin mechanismus and later French mécanisme or German Mechanismus. The form mehanizmima follows the Slavic pattern: base mehanizam + instrumental plural suffix -ima.

Usage notes: In technical, engineering, and academic texts, mehanizmima may describe the set of mechanisms involved in a system. The term is commonly found in formal registers and in contexts discussing control systems, safety mechanisms, or organizational mechanisms.
