οἶδας
eídō
do you know
Primarily, to see, perceive, observe with the senses or mind; to know or understand as a result of perceiving. In a number of contexts, εἴδω conveys not merely the act of seeing with the eyes but also the mental apprehension or realization based on perception (i.e., 'to know', 'to recognize', 'to understand'). In perfect forms, it most frequently means 'to have seen' and thus 'to know' as a state based on acquired knowledge through seeing or experiencing. The full semantic range covers literal seeing, noticing, perceiving, observing, as well as understanding or being aware.
