Popisovali

Popisovali is a Czech verb in the imperfective aspect, plural, past tense, masculine animate form of the verb "opisovat". It translates to "they were describing" or "they were copying". The verb "opisovat" itself has two primary meanings: to describe something in detail, or to copy something, such as text or a solution. Therefore, "popisovali" specifically refers to a past action where a group of masculine animate subjects were engaged in either of these activities.

The context in which "popisovali" is used will determine its precise meaning. For instance, if the sentence is about students, it might mean "they were copying from each other" or "they were describing their findings". If the context involves artists or writers, it would likely mean "they were describing a scene" or "they were copying a style". The imperfective aspect emphasizes the ongoing or repeated nature of the action in the past, suggesting that the describing or copying was not a single, completed event. The past tense places the action firmly in the past. The plural form indicates that more than one subject performed the action, and the masculine animate grammatical gender specifies the type of subject.
