Zvolila

Zvolila is the feminine singular past tense form of the Czech verb zvolit, meaning “she chose” or “she elected.” It is used to describe a completed decision or selection made by a female subject, and it appears in both narrative and reported speech.

Origin and cognates: The verb zvolit is built from the prefix z- attached to volit, a root related to volba (vote, choice) and the general idea of electing. In Slovak, the corresponding past feminine singular form of zvoliť is also zvolila, reflecting the common Slavic heritage of the verb.

Usage: Zvolila functions as a standard past-tense inflection in Czech (and Slovak) for a female subject. It can convey decisions ranging from everyday choices to formal selections. Example in Czech: Zvolila si novou možnost. (She chose a new option.) English translation: She chose a new option.

Notes: The form is not a standalone noun or proper name; it is a verb inflection. It should not be confused with zvolen (masculine past) or with related nouns such as volba or volitelné, which derive from the same root but function differently in sentence structure. In English, zvolila translates as “she chose” or “she elected,” depending on context.
