verb
Third-person singular simple present indicative of evoke.
The painting evokes the quiet melancholy of a fading afternoon.
Her speech evokes strong emotions in everyone who hears it.
Note
A regular present-tense form: the silent e of evoke stays, and a plain -s marks agreement with a singular subject. In every use the verb is transitive and needs an object, so a painting evokes a mood and a question evokes a response. When the effect lands in a person, the feeling comes first and the person follows after in: it evokes pity in readers.
