volávat

Volávat is a Czech verb. It is the imperfective aspect of the verb "volat," meaning to call or to shout. The imperfective aspect describes an action that is ongoing, repeated, or habitual. Therefore, "volávat" implies repeatedly calling, shouting, or summoning someone or something.

This verb can be used in various contexts. For instance, it can describe the act of frequently calling a person on the phone, such as "Volávala mu každý den" (She called him every day). It can also refer to the repeated shouting of a name or a word, like "Volávali jeho jméno na náměstí" (They were shouting his name in the square). In a more figurative sense, "volávat" can mean to invoke or to appeal to something, as in "Volávali pomoc bohů" (They were invoking the help of the gods).

The nuances of "volávat" lie in its continuous or repetitive nature, distinguishing it from the punctual action of "volat." The context in which it is used will determine the precise meaning, but the core idea remains consistent: an action of calling or shouting performed over a period of time or multiple instances.
