Indikovaly

Indikovaly is the feminine plural past tense form of the Czech verb indikovat, meaning to indicate or to signal. It is used when the subject is feminine or when the group is treated as feminine in a sentence. In practical terms, indikovaly appears in reports and narratives that describe indications for actions, such as medical treatment, diagnostic tests, or policy decisions.

Related noun forms include indikace, meaning indication or sign, and indikovaný, meaning indicated or prescribed. The verb and its derivatives are common in medical, legal, and administrative language, where they describe the justification or necessity for a given intervention or measure. For example, a sentence like “Změny indikovaly nutnost léčby” translates to “The changes indicated the need for treatment.”

Origin and usage: indikovat and its past tense forms are part of the Czech medical and technical lexicon and reflect the broader international concept of indication. The term has parallels in other Slavic languages and aligns with cognates in European languages, including the English word indicate. In everyday Czech, the forms of the verb (indikuji, indikujete, indikovali, indikovala, indikovalo, indikovali) are used across contexts to convey that something serves as a sign or justification for a particular action.
