psiholokih

Psiholokih is a nonstandard spelling that appears in some Slavic-language texts as an incorrect variant of the adjective meaning "psychological." In standard usage, Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian write the form psihološki (masculine nominative singular); psihološki, psihološka, or psihološko for other genders and numbers, and psiholoških for the genitive plural. The form psiholokih is not recognized in these languages' official orthographies and is typically treated as an error.

Etymology and meaning: The term derives from the Greek psyche meaning mind and logos meaning study or science, forming the common root for words relating to psychology. As an adjective, psihološki describes things connected with psychology, mental processes, or behavior, such as psihološki pristup (psychological approach) or psihološka istraživanja (psychological research). The noun for the field is psihologija (psychology).

Usage and correction: Psiholokih may appear in informal writing, transcription mistakes, or OCR errors where the sequence loški is misread as lokih. In formal writing, it should be corrected to psihološki (or the appropriate gender/number form) to maintain standard spelling. Readers encountering psiholokih are advised to verify the surrounding text to determine the intended standard form (psihološki/psihološka/psihološko/psiholoških).
