πάρεστιν
páreimi
is present
To be present, to be near or in proximity. The core meaning is to be alongside, to be physically present or available, and by extension, to arrive or appear (especially in situations where presence or availability is in focus). In some contexts, it can also mean 'to come' or 'to be at hand.' In participial usage, it can refer to 'the present time' (i.e., what is occurring now) or, rarely, to 'available resources' or 'property.'
