odmítla

Odmítla is the feminine singular past tense form of the Czech verb odmítnout, meaning to refuse or to reject. It indicates that a female subject performed the action of declining something in the past. In Czech, past tense forms agree with the gender of the subject: odmítl (masculine), odmítla (feminine), odmítlo (neuter). The form odmítla can stand as a complete sentence when the subject is clear from context, for example in a narrative: "Odmítla." More commonly, it appears with an object or clause, such as "Odmítla nabídku" (She refused the offer) or "Odmítla souhlas s projektem" (She declined consent to the project).

Odmítla is not a proper noun and has no independent meaning beyond the verb form. It is used in written and spoken Czech across registers, including news reporting, literature, and everyday conversation. Related forms include odmítám (I refuse), odmítáš (you refuse), odmítá (he/she/it refuses), and the infinitive odmítnout. The choice of odmítnout vs. odmítat depends on aspect; odmítnout is perfective and describes a completed act of refusing, while odmítat is imperfective and could describe a repeated or ongoing action. In English, odmítla is typically translated as she refused or she declined.
