prikazuje

Prikazuje is a verb form used in several South Slavic languages, notably Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verbs prikazivati (imperfective) or prikazati (perfective), both meaning to show, display, or present. The meaning covers showing something to an audience, presenting data, or rendering a visual on a screen. The form is common in media, education, and everyday speech.

Uses and nuance: prikazuje is used when something currently presents or displays information, results, or images. In computing and data reporting, it often translates to “displays” or “presents.” In film, literature, or art contexts, it can also mean to depict or portray. The related noun prikaz means a depiction or display, and in other senses it can mean an instruction or order, so prikaz and prikazati/prikazivati are not interchangeable without changing meaning.

Examples:

- On prikazuje rezultate istraživanja. (He shows the results of the research.)

- Aplikacija prikazuje podatke na ekranu. (The application displays data on the screen.)

- Film prikazuje život glavnog lika. (The film depicts the life of the main character.)

Translations and variants: English equivalents include shows, displays, presents, or depicts, depending on context. The form prikazuje is widely understood across Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin and is easily recognized by speakers of related dialects, though regional usage may affect synonymous choices.
