vykonávala

Vykonávala is a past tense form of the Czech and Slovak verb vykonávat, meaning to perform, carry out, or execute. It is the feminine singular form used with a female subject, indicating an action that was ongoing, habitual, or not completed at a reference point in the past.

grammatically, vykonávala represents the imperfective aspect in the past. It describes actions that took place over a period or were repeated, rather than a single completed act. This form is commonly used in narrative or descriptive texts to convey duration or repetition, and it contrasts with the perfective past form vykonala (she performed / she carried out), which denotes a completed action.

In usage, vykonávala can describe how someone performed tasks or duties over an interval. For example: Ona vykonávala své povinnosti po celý den. Během té doby vykonávala různé úkoly, které vyžadovaly soustavnost. The form may appear in both everyday and formal prose in Czech and Slovak, with meaning dependent on context and surrounding verbs.

Related forms include vykonávat (the infinitive) and its perfective counterpart vykonat. The root konat, from which vykonávat is derived with the prefix vy-, conveys the sense of performing or executing an action. In Slovak, a parallel form exists with similar usage and meaning.
