SIBI-P1 G191-13
we are hearing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 1st person plural (Gr,V,IPA1,,P,). The present tense expresses ongoing or current action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states a fact; plural number identifies "we." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "we are hearing" preserves the root sense of auditory reception inherent in ἀκούω while reflecting the present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, and first person plural form. It conveys a current, continuous act performed by "we." |
