SIBI-P1 Translation G3195-06
you are about to
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active indicative, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,IPA2,,S,) — denotes ongoing or imminent action by "you." |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, second person singular, expresses an ongoing state of imminence or intention directed toward a forthcoming action. "You are about to" preserves both the present tense aspect and the core sense of impending or intended action inherent in μέλλω. |
