Lesson
The subjunctive mood of a verb in Koine Greek is the form generally used to express potential or possibility.
Forms
Present Active
The forms for the Present Active Subjunctive are as follows:
- λυω - I might destroy
- λυης - you might destroy
- λυη - he / she / it might destroy
- λυωμεν - we might destroy
- λυητε - you might destroy (plural)
- λυωσιν - they might destroy
This paradigm is similar to the Present Active Indicative form, except that the vowel sounds have generally been lengthened
- ει becomes η (with a ι subscript)
- ε becomes η
- ο becomes ω
This same lengthening of vowel sounds also occurs in the Present Middle and Passive forms.
