SIBI-P1 Translation G4095-11

you may drink

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, second person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active subjunctive, second person plural, expresses a simple or undefined act of drinking with potential or intended force, hence "you may drink." The rendering preserves the core physical sense of consuming liquid while allowing for its broader figurative extension.
