SIBI-P1 G191-06

he/she is hearing

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S). The present tense conveys ongoing or habitual action in the indicative.
Rendering RationaleThe present active indicative, third person singular form denotes an ongoing or characteristic action performed by a singular subject. "Is hearing" preserves the present tense’s continuous aspect and keeps the active voice, while reflecting the core sense of perceiving or attending to sound or message inherent in ἀκούω.
