novitetama

Novitetama is a grammatical form found in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin. It is the instrumental or dative plural form of the noun novitet, which denotes a novelty, innovation, or something newly introduced. In everyday use, novitetama appears when referring to novelties in a non-nominative case, such as when something is given to or used with the novelties, or when describing novelties as items or features in a discussion or catalog.

The base noun novitet carries the sense of something new or recently introduced and is related to the root meaning new (often linked to the common Slavic word for new, with further borrowing and development over time). The form novitetama reflects standard plural endings used for dative and instrumental cases in masculine inanimate nouns in these languages. While noviteti is the nominative plural and widely used when simply listing novelties, novitetama is a case-marked plural that signals a specific syntactic role in the sentence.

In practice, novitetama tends to appear in formal writing, journalism, advertising catalogs, and academic or technical discussions where a set or group of new items, ideas, or features is being described or referenced. It conveys the notion of multiple novelties within a given context, rather than just a generic plural of novitet.
