Koncertovala

Koncertovala is a past-tense verb form used in several Central and Southeast European languages, notably Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. It is the feminine singular form meaning “she performed a concert” or, in some contexts, “she gave a concert” in the past. The form derives from the infinitive koncertovat (or koncertovati) “to perform a concert.”

In Czech and Slovak, the infinitive is koncertovat (Slovak: koncertovať), and the past tense feminine singular is formed with the suffix -ovala: ona koncertovala. In Serbo-Croatian languages, the form is used as the feminine singular past tense of koncertovati, with the standard compound tense built with the auxiliary be, as in Ona je koncertovala sinoć. The exact word order can vary with emphasis.

Etymology traces the noun koncert, borrowed into many European languages from French koncert (ultimately from Latin concertum), and the verb-forming suffixes -ovat- (Czech/Slovak) or -ovati (Serbo-Croatian). The development reflects a common pattern of creating verbs meaning “to perform a concert” from the noun.

Usage notes: Koncertovala appears in narrative or biographical contexts to describe a female subject who carried out a concert in the past. Because diacritics are often omitted in plain text, the form may appear as concertovala in multilingual or simplified writing. The exact spelling aligns with the orthography of the respective language.
