oblikovao

Oblikovao is the third-person singular masculine past tense form of the verb oblikovati in Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. It translates as "he formed" or "he shaped" and is used to describe a completed action of giving form to something, whether physical or abstract.

The verb oblikovati derives from the noun oblik, meaning form or shape, combined with the suffix -ovati used to form infinitives of verbs of action. Related forms include oblikovala (she formed), oblikovalo (it formed), oblikovan (formed, as an adjective), and oblikovanje (shaping or formation).

In usage, oblikovati covers both literal and figurative shaping. It can refer to molding clay or shaping metal, as well as organizing plans, ideas, or policies. For example: "On je oblikovao plan za projekt." "Umetnik je oblikovao glinu u kip." The word is flexible in narrative and descriptive contexts, and its exact meaning depends on the object of shaping and the broader discourse.

Notes: The form follows standard BCS conjugation patterns for -ovati verbs, and gender/number agreement changes other past forms accordingly (oblikovala, oblikovalo). It is common in journalism, literature, design, and everyday speech.
