podaril

Podaril is a Slovenian linguistic term, functioning as the masculine singular past participle of the verb podariti, which means to give as a gift. As a participle, podaril is used in agreement with a masculine singular subject and appears in compound past constructions or as a modifier in clauses. The feminine and neuter forms are podarila and podarilo, respectively, while the present tense forms of podariti include podarim, podariš, podari, podarimo, podarite, and podarijo.

In typical usage, podaril denotes a completed gifting action. For example, in a sentence like On je podaril knjigo, it conveys that he gifted a book. The form is characteristic of Slovenian morphology, where participles reflect gender and number and participate in predicate constructions or adjectival usage.

Comparison with related languages notes that South Slavic languages have verbs meaning to gift, but past-tense spellings differ. For instance, Serbo-Croatian varieties may use podario for the past masculine singular, reflecting language-specific conjugation patterns.

Etymology traces podariti to a root related to dar, meaning gift, with a prefix that yields a perfective sense. This aligns with Slovenian verb classes that form perfective derivatives from noun- or verb-based stems.

Podaril is primarily encountered in Slovenian-language texts and grammar references. It is not a widely used loanword in English-language sources. See also podariti, dar, and other Slovenian perfective verb forms for related constructions.
