vyjadovalo

Vyjadřovalo is the neuter singular past tense form of the Czech verb vyjadřovat, meaning to express, convey, or represent. It is used when the subject of the sentence is neuter (grammatical gender) or when the subject is a non-personal entity such as the neuter pronoun to/that, a gesture, or a situation.

In use, vyjadřovalo often describes how something expressed a meaning, stance, or intention, rather than describing a single, concrete action. Because it is the imperfective verb form, it can convey an ongoing or characteristic expression in the past, rather than a one-time completed act. It frequently appears in analytical, descriptive, or evaluative contexts, such as journalism, essays, or reports.

Examples:

- To vyjadřovalo jejich postoj k nové politice. (That expressed their stance toward the new policy.)

- To gesto vyjadřovalo souhlas. (That gesture expressed approval.)

- Zpráva vyjadřovalo širší záměr organizátora. (The report expressed the organizer’s broader intention.)

Related forms include vyjadřuje (present), vyjadřoval/vyjadřovala/vyjadřovalo (past masculine/feminine/neuter), and the related noun vyjádření. The verb emphasizes conveying meaning or significance rather than executing a discrete action, and it is often contrasted with the perfective vyjádřit, which denotes a single, completed expression.
