otkazivaetsya

Otkazivaetsya is a Russian word that translates to "refuses" or "declines" in English. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb otkazivat'sya (отказываться). This verb is reflexive and generally implies a deliberate act of refusal or withdrawal from something.

The word can be used in various contexts. For example, someone might otkazivaetsya ot (refuse) a job offer, otkazivaetsya ot (decline) an invitation, or otkazivaetsya ot (renounce) a claim. It can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as when a person otkazivaetsya ot (gives up) a bad habit or otkazivaetsya ot (abandons) a certain belief. The meaning is always tied to a voluntary act of saying no or letting go. The conjugation of the verb changes depending on the subject and tense, but otkazivaetsya specifically refers to a singular subject in the present moment of refusal.
