Projevila

Projevila is a Czech verb form used as the feminine singular past tense of the verb projevit (or, in its imperfective counterpart projevovat when used in past tense in certain contexts). It expresses that the subject, a feminine noun or pronoun, manifestly did or showed something. The meaning range includes to express, to reveal, to manifest, or to demonstrate.

In grammar, projevila is tied to the perfective aspect of the verb projevit, with the reflexive variant projevila se meaning "to manifest itself" or "to become apparent" for feminine subjects. The base noun projev means expression or manifestation, from which the verb forms are derived. The lemma forms are projevit (or projevovat) and their past-tense inflections, including projevila.

Usage and nuance: projevila is commonly used to indicate that a change, characteristic, or behavior became evident, or that an attitude or interest was shown. It appears in journalism, literature, and everyday speech. Typical collocations include projevovat zájem (to show interest), projevovat schopnosti, or, with se, projevila se to mean that something manifested itself.

Examples:

- Ona projevila velký zájem o projekt. (She expressed great interest in the project.)

- Zpráva projevila chybu v analýze. (The report revealed an error in the analysis.)

Notes: the reflexive form projevila se is used when the subject undergoes a manifestation by itself. The article’s headword remains the verb, with projevila serving as a conjugated form for feminine singular in the past tense.
