SIBI-P1 G4160-59
we are doing/making
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 1st person plural (Gr,V,IPA1,,P). Present tense conveys ongoing or habitual action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states it as a fact; plural marks "we." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ποιέω fundamentally denotes making or doing in an active, productive sense. The present active indicative first person plural form expresses an ongoing or habitual action performed by "we," so "we are doing/making" preserves both the dynamic sense of the root and the present, active, first-person plural morphology. |
