Rozbalit

Rozbalit is a Czech verb meaning to unwrap, unpack, or unfold. It can refer to removing the packaging from a physical object, such as rozbalit dárek or rozbalit balík, as well as to opening or expanding something that is compressed, folded, or collapsed. In computing and digital contexts, rozbalit is used for actions such as unzipping or extracting a compressed archive, for example rozbalit ZIP archiv or rozbalit tar.gz. In software interfaces it can also mean expanding a collapsed tree, list, or menu, e.g., rozbalit strom nebo rozbalit nabídku.

Etymology and aspect: rozbalit is formed from the verb balit (to wrap) with the prefix roz-, indicating a reversal or opposite action. It is a perfective verb, used to express a completed action. Its imperfective counterpart is rozbalovat, which denotes the process of unwrapping or repeatedly performing the action.

Usage notes: Rozbalit denotes a single, completed act, whereas rozbalovat describes ongoing, habitual, or repeated action. In instructional or UI contexts one often sees phrases like klikněte na tlačítko Rozbalit or rozbalit archiv, meaning to perform the unwrapping or expansion as a one-time operation. Common collocations include rozbalit dárek, rozbalit balík, rozbalit archiv, and rozbalit nabídku.
