uvedlo

Uvedlo is the neuter singular past tense form of the Czech verb uvést, meaning to introduce, present, or bring something to attention. It is used when the subject of the sentence is neuter and the action is completed in the past.

Etymology: Uvést is formed from vést (to lead) with the prefix u-, which in this context conveys bringing something into a state or making it known. The form uvedlo corresponds to the English “it introduced.”

Usage: It occurs with neuter subjects, such as the pronoun to or neuter nouns. Examples: "Ministerstvo uvedlo nové pravidlo." ("The ministry introduced a new rule.") "To uvedlo změnu v pravidlech." ("That introduced a change in the rules.") These constructions show the action completed by a neuter subject in the past.

Notes: Uvedlo is an inflectional form rather than a standalone lemma. The verb uvést has other past forms corresponding to different genders and numbers, such as uvedl (masculine singular), uvedla (feminine singular), and uvedli (plural). In dictionaries, uvést is the cited lemma, with uvedlo appearing as one of its inflected forms.
