SIBI-P1 G1410-18
he/she/it is able
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present middle (deponent) indicative, 3rd person singular. The middle form is morphologically marked but semantically active; denotes current or ongoing ability. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present indicative form conveys ongoing or current ability, so "is able" reflects continuous or real-time capacity. Though morphologically middle, δύναμαι functions as a deponent verb, carrying active meaning while retaining middle form; the rendering preserves the third person singular and present tense without adding unwarranted reflexive force. |
