Vyhovovalo

Vyhovovalo is the neuter singular past tense form of the Czech verb vyhovovat, which means to suit, to be convenient, or to meet requirements or expectations. It is used to indicate that something satisfied the needs or preferences of someone or something. The verb vyhovovat has present forms such as vyhovuje and vyhovují, and its past tense forms are vyhovoval (masc), vyhovovala (fem), and vyhovovalo (neut). An example with a neuter subject: "To nám vyhovovalo" meaning "That suited us." Another example: "To řešení vyhovovalo většině" meaning "That solution satisfied the majority."

Use and nuance: Vyhovovat conveys a pragmatic adequacy rather than enthusiastic praise. It is common in everyday speech as well as in formal writing when reporting whether conditions, plans, or proposals meet criteria or expectations. The tone remains neutral and factual.

Related forms and etymology: The word is derived from the verb vyhovovat, with the prefix vy-. Related terms include vyhovět (to comply with or grant a request) and vyhovující (satisfactory or compliant). A noun form, vyhovění, exists in more formal or legal contexts to denote compliance or granting of a request.

Notes: The form vyhovovalo specifically reflects neuter gender in the subject of the sentence; other gender forms are vyhovoval (masc) and vyhovovala (fem).
