SIBI-P1 Translation G1019-01
is slow to act
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, third person singular, expresses an ongoing or characteristic action: "he/she/it is being slow" or "acts slowly." "Is slow to act" preserves the root sense of becoming or being slow in response while reflecting the active, continuous aspect. |
