generovali

Generovali is a verb form found in several Slavic languages, used as the past tense of the verb meaning to generate or to produce. In Czech and Slovak, generovali is the masculine plural past tense of generovat or generovať. In Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, the corresponding verb is generirati, and generirali serves as the masculine plural past tense. The form therefore commonly appears in sentences describing a completed act of generation or production by a plural subject.

Etymology and meaning: The root gener- traces to Latin generare, meaning to beget or to produce. In modern European languages, the term has been adopted as a loanword or through direct adaptation to local phonology and morphology to express creating, producing, or generating things such as data, ideas, or results.

Usage and grammar: Generovali marks a masculine plural subject in the past tense. The auxiliary verb and word order can vary by language, but the core meaning remains “they generated” or “they were generating” in contexts where the action is viewed in the past. Female or mixed-gender groups might use related feminine plural or mixed forms (for example, generovale, generirale) depending on the language’s conjugation system. Examples include Czech: Oni generovali nové nápady; Croatian: Oni su generirali nove ideje.
