SIBI-P1 Translation G1410-16
to be able
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), middle voice (deponent in meaning), infinitive mood. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle infinitive expresses the ongoing state or capacity of having ability. As a deponent verb, the middle form carries active meaning, so "to be able" accurately reflects its root sense of possessing power or capability. |
