Translations: to seem to them, to appear to them, to think to them, to be thought to them, to be decided to them
From the root: ΔΟΚΕΩ, ΕΚΕΙΝΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Pronoun
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenation of two Koine Greek words: 'δοκεῖν' (dokein) and 'ἐκείνοις' (ekeinois). 'Δοκεῖν' is the present active infinitive of the verb δοκέω, meaning 'to seem,' 'to appear,' or 'to think.' It can also be used impersonally, meaning 'it seems good' or 'it is decided.' 'Ἐκείνοις' is the dative plural of the demonstrative pronoun ἐκεῖνος, meaning 'those' or 'them.' Therefore, the combined phrase means 'to seem to them,' 'to appear to them,' or 'to be thought by them.'
Inflection: ΔΟΚΕΙΝ: Present, Active, Infinitive; ΕΚΕΙΝΟΙΣ: Dative, Plural, Masculine, Feminine or Neuter
