Potvrzovalo

Potvrzovalo is a Czech verb form. It is the neuter singular past tense of the imperfective verb potvrzovat, which means to confirm or verify. In Czech, past tense forms agree with the subject in gender and number; the neuter singular form is potvrzovalo. It is used with neutral subjects or with the pronoun to referring to a fact or situation.

Usage and meaning: Potvrzovalo describes that evidence, observations, or data confirmed a claim or hypothesis. The form is common in academic, scientific, journalistic, and official writing when describing results or findings that support a conclusion. It signals a completed gesturing toward confirmation from a neutral perspective, rather than personal action.

Example sentences: To zjištění potvrzovalo hypotézu. This sentence means that the finding confirmed the hypothesis. Toto zjištění potvrzovalo hypotézu is another natural variant, emphasizing a neutral subject as the source of confirmation.

Etymology and related forms: Potvrzovalo comes from the imperfective verb potvrzovat; related forms include potvrzovat (infinitive), potvrdit (perfective), and potvrzení (the noun for confirmation). Other finite forms include potvrzoval (masculine past), potvrzovala (feminine past), potvrzuje (present), and potvrzuj (imperative).
