# Deponent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Deponent is a voice. Voice is the form of a verb that helps someone to know how other words relate to the verb.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A verb in the deponent voice has the same form as a verb in the passive or middle voice. However, it has the same meaning as a verb in the active voice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A verb in the deponent voice tells the reader that the subject is performing the action.

Some scholars think verbs in the deponent voice are in the middle form and have the same meaning as words in the middle voice. These scholars do not think that there is a deponent voice in Greek. Instead, they are just translated into English in the same way verbs in the active voice are translated.
