σε
sý
Second person singular personal pronoun; used to directly address one person as 'you.' The primary sense is as a nominative pronoun, the person spoken to. Depending on context, it can have an emphatic or non-emphatic force, indicating either the simple presence of the addressee or stressing the person in contrast or focus. As with all Greek personal pronouns, it is frequently omitted for non-emphatic, subject functions, since the verb conjugation already identifies the person.

| Morphological Notes | Personal pronoun; second person; singular; accusative case (direct object form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form σε is the accusative singular of the second person pronoun, marking the one directly addressed as the object of an action. English uses the same form “you” for subject and object, so this rendering preserves the singular personal reference without adding context. |
