SIBI-P1 Translation G50-12
they are unaware
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural — "they" performing the action of not perceiving/knowing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, third person plural denotes an ongoing or characteristic action: "they are unaware." This rendering preserves the root sense of failing to perceive or understand, without adding contextual nuance. |
