napojom

Napojom is the ASCII, diacritic-free form of the Slovak instrumental singular nápojom, which is the instrumental case of the noun nápoj meaning beverage or drink. The standard Slovak form nápojom uses diacritics, while napojom appears in contexts where diacritics are not available or in older texts that did not use them.

Nápoj is a common Slovak noun referring to any beverage, including water, juice, tea, or other drinks. The noun belongs to a family of cognates across West Slavic languages, such as Czech nápoj and Polish napój, reflecting shared historical roots for the word meaning beverage.

In Slovak grammar, the instrumental singular nápojom is used for the noun when it functions as the means or instrument in an action, or in certain constructions that require the instrumental case. It may also appear after prepositions that govern the instrumental, or in phrases describing how something is done with a drink. The form is one of several inflected variations that Slovak nouns undergo to indicate grammatical relations in sentences.

Etymologically, nápoj derives from a common Slavic source for drink, with parallel forms in Czech and Polish. The non-diacritic form napojom is primarily encountered in environments that restrict diacritics, such as plain-text data, programming contexts, or historical texts before standard diacritic usage became widespread.
