SIBI-P1 Translation G3339-02
be undergoing transformation
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), middle/passive voice (here passive), imperative mood; 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present passive imperative, second person plural, calls for an ongoing command to receive a change of form. "Be undergoing transformation" preserves the passive voice and the sense of continuous fundamental alteration in form or nature. |
