ozývala

ozývala is a Czech word that translates to "was sounding" or "echoed" in English. It is the past tense, feminine singular imperfective form of the verb "ozývat se," which means to sound, to resound, or to echo. This verb describes a sound that is repeated or reverberates.

The word is often used to describe natural phenomena such as the sound of thunder rolling in the distance, the cry of an animal in a forest, or the echo of a voice in a large space. For instance, one might say "ozývala se ozvěna v údolí," meaning "an echo was sounding in the valley." It can also be used to describe the persistent or recurring nature of a sound, such as a song that was often heard or a persistent noise.

Grammatically, "ozývala" indicates an ongoing or repeated action in the past, specifically pertaining to a female subject or a feminine noun. If the subject were masculine or neuter, the form would differ. The imperfective aspect emphasizes the duration or repetition of the sound rather than a single, completed event. Therefore, "ozývala" conveys a sense of continuity or repeated occurrence of a sound in the past.
