svakodnevnom

Svakodnevnom is a grammatical form of the Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian adjective svakodnevni, which means "everyday" or "daily." It is used as the masculine or neuter singular dative or locative form, for example with phrases that require the locative case after a preposition, such as u (in). The feminine counterpart in the same cases is svakodnevnoj. Other forms of the adjective include svakodnevnog (genitive) and svakodnevni (nominative).

Etymology and meaning: the word is a compound of svak- (every) and dan (day), collectively conveying the sense of something that occurs every day or is part of daily life. As an adjective, svakodnevni covers habitual or routine aspects, rather than one-off events. The locative form svakodnevnom is common in speech and writing when specifying context, place, or manner within daily life.

Usage: svakodnevnom is widely used in standard Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian to describe routine, ordinary, or habitual aspects of life, work, or activities. It frequently appears in formal and informal registers, including journalism, education, and everyday speech. Common collocations include svakodnevni život (daily life), svakodnevni ritam (daily rhythm), and u svakodnevnom životu (in daily life).

Comparison and related forms: svakodnevni is the base form meaning "everyday" or "daily" when used with nouns in the nominative masculine singular. Other related terms include dnevni (daily) and rutina (routine), which convey similar but slightly different nuances.
