výrazmi

Výrazmi is the instrumental plural form of the Slovak noun výraz, which denotes an expression, a phrase, a sign, or a symbol. The base term is used across several fields to describe a construct that conveys meaning, value, or pattern. In Slovak grammar, the instrumental plural appears after prepositions such as s (with) or pri (when working with).

In linguistics and lexicography, výrazy (expressions) refer to units of meaning that can be single words or multiword sequences, including idioms and fixed expressions. Distinctions are made between free expressions and fixed expressions, and dictionaries often classify them as pevné výrazy (fixed expressions) or idiomatické výrazy (idiomatic expressions).

In mathematics and logic, výraz denotes a combination of symbols that can be evaluated to a value or truth value. Examples include algebraický výraz (algebraic expression), which combines numbers, variables, and operations (for example, 3x + 2), and logický výraz (logical expression), which forms a proposition or condition. In computing, regulárny výraz means regular expression, a pattern used to match strings; plural forms such as regulárne výrazy are common when listing multiple patterns.

The sense of vý- in výrazy and the exact grammatical form výrazy or výrazmi vary by field and sentence construction, but the core idea remains: a výraz is a construct that conveys meaning, value, or pattern. The instrumental plural význačne appears in Slovak texts to indicate “with expressions” or “by means of expressions” in contexts ranging from language to mathematics and computing.
