ozývalo

ozývalo is a Czech word that functions as a past tense imperfective verb. It is the third-person singular neuter past tense form of the verb ozývat se. The verb ozývat se generally means to resound, echo, or make itself heard. Therefore, "ozývalo" typically translates to "it resounded," "it echoed," or "it was heard."

The imperfective aspect of the verb indicates that the action was ongoing, repeated, or habitual in the past, rather than a single, completed event. For example, "Z dálky se ozývalo štěkání psa" would translate to "Barking was heard from a distance" or "Barking echoed from a distance." The neuter gender of "ozývalo" suggests that the subject of the verb is a neuter noun or an unspecified "it." This form is commonly used when describing sounds or phenomena that are present or active over a period of time in the past without a specific active agent. The root of the verb is related to the concept of sound or resonance.
