I will formally accuse

Morphological NotesVerb; future tense, active voice, indicative mood, first person singular (Gr,V,IFA1,,S,).
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the legal-public force of κατηγορέω as bringing a charge before authorities, not merely speaking negatively. The future active indicative, first person singular, is reflected in "I will," expressing a forthcoming act performed by the speaker.

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

will formally accuse

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleThe subject 'I' is already stated in position 4. Here, only the verbal action is needed. 'Will formally accuse' preserves the legal connotation of κατηγορήσω, so only the verb is rendered.
