ΠΑΙΔΕΣΓΕΓΟΝΑΤΕ, παιδεσγεγονατε
PAIDESGEGONATE, paidesgegonate
Sounds Like: PAI-des GEG-oh-nah-teh
Translations: children, you have become, you are
From the root: ΠΑΙΣ, ΓΙΝΟΜΑΙ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two separate Koine Greek words, 'ΠΑΙΔΕΣ' (paides) meaning 'children' and 'ΓΕΓΟΝΑΤΕ' (gegonate) meaning 'you have become' or 'you are'. When combined, it would mean 'you have become children' or 'you are children'. It is likely that these two words were intended to be written separately, as 'ΠΑΙΔΕΣ ΓΕΓΟΝΑΤΕ', and their concatenation here is a transcription error or a stylistic choice not typical of standard Koine Greek. In a sentence, it would describe a group of people having transitioned into a state of being children, either literally or figuratively.
Inflection: ΠΑΙΔΕΣ: Plural, Nominative or Vocative, Masculine or Feminine. ΓΕΓΟΝΑΤΕ: Perfect Active Indicative, 2nd Person Plural.
