SIBI-P1 Translation G1019-02
I may be slow
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, first person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active subjunctive first person singular expresses a potential or contemplated ongoing action: "I may be slow." This preserves the root sense of becoming or acting slow without importing contextual nuance. |
