odcházela

The Czech word "odcházela" is the imperfect past tense, feminine singular form of the verb "odcházet." This verb generally translates to "to leave," "to depart," or "to be leaving" in English. When used in the past tense, "odcházela" specifically describes a continuous or repeated action of leaving by a female subject in the past.

For example, if a sentence were "Ona odcházela z domu," it would mean "She was leaving the house" or "She used to leave the house." The imperfect aspect emphasizes the ongoing nature of the departure rather than a single, completed event, which would be conveyed by a perfective verb like "odešla."

The grammatical context of "odcházela" is crucial for understanding its precise meaning. It indicates a past action performed by a female individual that was either in progress or happened repeatedly. The root "od-" signifies separation or departure, while "cházet" relates to walking or moving. Together, they form a verb that describes the act of moving away from a place or person.
