otvírala

Otvírala is a Czech word that serves as the past tense feminine singular form of the verb otevírat, meaning "to open." When used in a sentence, it refers to a female subject performing the action of opening something in the past. For example, "Dívka otvírala dveře" translates to "The girl was opening the door." The verb otevírat itself is imperfective, indicating an ongoing or repeated action, so otvírala suggests a process of opening rather than a single completed event. This grammatical distinction is common in Slavic languages. The word's usage is primarily confined to the Czech language and its grammatical structure. Understanding the conjugation of Czech verbs is essential for correctly interpreting its meaning in context.
