Zobrazte

Zobrazte is a Czech verb form meaning “display” or “show,” used as the imperative. It is directed at you plural or at a formal you, and appears in instructions, user interfaces, and formal prose.

The verb zobrazit is perfective, indicating a completed action, while its imperfective counterpart is zobrazovat, used for repeated or ongoing actions. The root obraz means image or picture, and the prefix z- contributes to the sense of rendering or making visible.

Grammatically, zobrazte is the imperative plural/formal singular form. Informal singular imperative is zobraz. In addition to the imperative, the verb conjugates in other moods and tenses (for example, zobrazím, zobrazíš, zobrazí in the present tense), and the past participle is zobrazen.

Usage and nuances: zobrazte is commonly found in software interfaces, manuals, and documentation to instruct users to make something visible or to present data. Examples include phrases like “Zobrazte výsledky v tabulce” (Display the results in the table) or “Zobrazte náhled” (Show the preview). The term can refer to displaying information on a screen, rendering a chart or image, or illustrating a concept in text.

Related terms include zobrazovat (imperfective form, “to display/show repeatedly”), zobrazení or zobrazen (the noun forms for display or visualization), and obraz (image or picture), from which the verb derives its sense of rendering an image.
