Uplatnila

Uplatnila is the feminine singular past tense form of the verb uplatnit in Czech and Slovak. As a verb form, it indicates that a female subject completed an action expressed by the infinitive uplatnit. The root verb uplatnit has several related meanings, including to apply, to enforce or exercise (a right), to make use of (an opportunity or discount), and, in reflexive use (uplatnit se), to establish oneself or succeed professionally.

In legal and administrative contexts uplatnila is commonly used in phrases such as uplatnila nárok or uplatnila právo, meaning she asserted or exercised a claim or right. In everyday usage it can denote practical application, for example uplatnila slevu (she used a discount) or uplatnila zkušenosti (she put her experience to use). The reflexive form uplatnila se typically describes career advancement or recognition.

Grammatically, uplatnila contrasts with other gender and number forms (masculine uplatnil, neuter uplatnilo, plural uplatnili/uplatnily) and relates to the imperfective counterpart uplatňovat, which emphasizes habitual or ongoing action. The verb’s etymology traces to the root plat- (related to paying or making valid) with the prefix u-, forming a verb with both practical and figurative senses.
