написала

"Написала" means "wrote" (feminine, past tense).

In a sentence

  • Я написала письмо.

    I wrote a letter.

    The word "написала" here is the past tense form of the verb "писать" (to write) in the feminine singular, indicating that the subject (I) is female and performed the action of writing in the past.

  • Она написала на доске.

    She wrote on the board.

    In this sentence, "написала" is again the past feminine singular form of "писать," used to describe an action performed by 'she' in the past, specifically writing on the board.

  • Кто написал это сообщение?

    Who wrote this message?

    Although the verb form "написал" is being used, it is in masculine singular form because Russian defaults to masculine for questions if the gender of the subject is unknown. This showcases gender agreement’s flexibility in questions.
