3rd person plural

Active Indicative Present λέγουσι(ν) they say
Active Subjunctive Present λέγωσι(ν) (that) they say
Active Optative Present λέγοιεν may they say
Middle/Passive Indicative Present λέγονται they say to themselves

General rules:

  • endings always have an -ν-, which can be omitted in the active indicative and subjunctive
  • the subjunctive is the same as the indicative, with the desinence vowel lengthened
  • the optative always has the diphthong -οι- (-οιμι, -οίμην)
