SIBI-P1 G1410-18
he/she/it is able
| Root | δύναμαι (dýnamai) |
| Core Meanings | to be able, to have power, to be capable, to have inherent capacity |
| Semantic Range | to be able, to have power, to be capable of doing, to have permission, to be possible, to prevail |
| Conceptual Significance | δύναμαι expresses inherent or granted ability, often highlighting human limitation in contrast to divine power. In theological contexts it underscores the distinction between what humans are able to do and what only God is able to accomplish. |
| 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. |
