SIBI-P1 G3538-12
you are washing
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (imperfective aspect), active voice, indicative mood, 2nd person singular — "you are washing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, second person singular (Gr,V,IPA2,,S,) expresses an ongoing or current action performed by "you." "You are washing" preserves the present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice (you perform the action), and singular address, while retaining the core sense of washing a part of the body rather than full bathing. |
