ispravljati

ispravljati is a verb in the Croatian language. It is the imperfective aspect of the verb ispraviti. The verb ispravljati generally means to correct, to straighten, to rectify, or to fix. It describes an ongoing or repeated action of making something right or putting it back into a proper state.

For example, one might use ispravljati to describe the continuous effort of correcting mistakes in a text, or the process of straightening a bent object over time. It can also refer to rectifying a situation or behavior, implying a sustained effort rather than a single instance of correction. The context in which ispravljati is used will determine the precise meaning.

The imperfective aspect indicates that the action is not completed or is habitual. This distinguishes it from its perfective counterpart, ispraviti, which signifies a completed action of correction or straightening. Therefore, when speaking of a process, a series of actions, or something that is continually being done, ispravljati is the appropriate verb form to employ in Croatian.
