SIBI-P1 Translation G770-01
is weak
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing state), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, third person singular denotes an ongoing state: "he/she/it is weak." This preserves the core root sense of lacking strength or power, which can include illness but is broader than merely physical sickness. |
