Q

Hear, listen to

What is the future and aorist passive?

What is the perfect active?

A

ἀκουω

The content of the thing listened to is in accusative; the person/object making the sound you are listening to is in genitive. So when you say ‘I listen to Jesus’, Jesus would be in genitive. If you saw ‘I listen to the words of Jesus’, the ‘words’ would be in accusative and ‘Jesus’ in genitive. So:

  • ἀκουω + gen = person
  • ἀκουω + acc = thing heard

Future passive: ἀκουσθησομαι

Aorist passive: ἠκουσθην

Perfect active: ἀκηκοα

Q

I exist, I am

Eg, ἠλθατε rather than ἠλθετε for the indicative 2nd person plural (note how this is not imperative, as it still has the ἐ augment; the unaugmented form is ἐλθατε/ἐλθετε).

Intransitive present (I stand) = perfect active (ἑστηκα)

Intransitive future (I will stand) = future middle (στησομαι)

Intransitive past (aorist) (I stood) = 2nd aorist active (ἐστην) or 2nd aorist passive (ἐσταθην)

Intransitive past (imperfect) (I was standing) = pluperfect active (εἱστηκειν)
