SIBI-P1 Translation G1950-03
keep forgetting
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), middle voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present imperative calls for ongoing or continuous action, and the middle voice reflects personal involvement in letting something slip from one’s own awareness. "Keep forgetting" preserves the durative command and the sense of allowing something to escape one’s mind. |
