Odebrala

Odebrala is the ASCII spelling of the Polish feminine past tense form of the verb odebrać. In proper Polish with diacritics the form is odebrała. The verb is built with the prefix od- and the verb brać (to take), giving the sense of taking away, retrieving, or receiving something that was delivered or made available.

The form odebrała is used when the subject is female and the action occurred in the past. It commonly denotes that the person collected or received something, often a delivery or correspondence, for example: odebrała paczkę (she picked up a package), odebrała list (she received a letter), or odebrała telefon (she answered the phone). The sense can also extend to reclaiming or taking possession of something that was brought or held for them, such as "odebrała należność" (she collected payment). With a masculine subject the corresponding form is odebrał, and with a plural subject it is odebrały. The infinitive form of the verb is odebrać.

Contextual note: odebrać is a perfective verb, so its past tense forms convey completed actions. In contrast, to describe ongoing collection or reception in progressive contexts, Polish would use a different aspect or construction. The word odebrala appears mainly in narrative or factual statements about a specific past event. The ASCII variant without diacritics is odebrala, while the standard spelling with diacritics is odebrała.
