SIBI-P1 Translation G5053-03
to finish one's life
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active infinitive; expresses ongoing or process-oriented action in infinitive form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active infinitive denotes the act or process of bringing something to its end. Given the verb’s denominative sense from τελευτή (end, completion), and its frequent application to life, "to finish one's life" preserves both the completion emphasis and infinitive form. |
