Instalovala

Instalovala is a Czech verb form meaning “she installed” or “she was installing.” It is the feminine singular past tense of the verb instalovat (to install). The form is used in narratives and reports to describe a completed action performed by a female subject. It reflects the imperfective aspect of instalovat; the corresponding perfective form would be nainstalovala (she installed, with a sense of completion).

Etymology and grammar notes: instala- is derived from the root of installation concepts, with the productive Czech suffix -ovat creating the verb form instalovat. The noun instalace (installation) is related and contributes to the overall semantic field. Czech past tense for -ovat verbs agrees with the subject in gender and number, so feminine singular form is -ovala, as in instalovala. Other gender/number forms include instaloval (masc sg), instalovalo (neut sg), instalovali (masc/plural or mixed), and instalovaly (fem/plural).

Usage context: The form appears across domains where recording actions by a female subject is relevant, such as computing, construction, or everyday tasks. Examples: Instalovala novou verzi softwaru. Instaluje systémové aktualizace? (note: present tense would be instaluje). In contexts requiring a perfective nuance, one would use the related form nainstalovala to emphasize completion or a definite result.
