to drink

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, infinitive mood.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active infinitive expresses the simple verbal action without aspectual expansion, so "to drink" best captures the act of consuming liquid. The infinitive form preserves the verbal idea in its uninflected, complete-action sense.
