prihodima

Prihodima is a grammatical form of the Slavic noun prihod, used in languages such as Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. The base noun prihod has the senses of income, revenue, or arrival, depending on context. Prihodima is the dative plural, instrumental plural, and locative plural form of prihod. As a plural inflection, it appears when referring to multiple incomes or revenues, or when the action relates to those incomes in indirect-object, instrumental, or locative constructions.

In usage, prihodima often occurs in formal, administrative, or legal texts—such as budgets, financial reports, or treaty language—where precise case marking clarifies grammatical relationships. The form is generally encountered in written discourse and less commonly in everyday speech, where simpler constructions are more common. Because it is a case form of a common noun, prihodima does not represent a separate lexical entry; its meaning derives from prihod and the grammatical case being applied.

Etymology traces prihod to a root connected with coming or arrival, with the sense shift to “income” or “revenue” occurring in modern usage. The plural form prihodi covers incomes or revenues in the nominative, while prihodima covers the related cases (dative, instrumental, locative) for plural references.
