Usage notes

The Russian verb прогова́ривать means "to speak out" or "to blurt out," often implying that something is said accidentally or without thinking. It typically suggests speaking in a manner that is unguarded, where the speaker reveals something they might not have intended to say.\n\nIt can also be used in a context where someone is speaking repeatedly or in a drawn-out manner, though the more common usage is the unintentional revealing of information through speech.
