    The Perfect Middle Indicative in Koine Greek is formed in a similar way to the Perfect Active Indicative, using a reduplicated morpheme, lexical morpheme, and person-number suffix morpheme. It is a simple three-part construction with no neutral morpheme. Like other middle forms, the 2nd person singular does not contract. The Perfect Middle emphasizes that an action completed in the past still has present or future implications, showing finality while not precluding further consequences. Consonant stem verbs follow aspiration rules for euphony.

    1. The Perfect Middle Indicative: The building of the Perfect Middle


    Indicative, as you might have guessed, is not really that different from the
    formation of the Perfect Active Indicative. In fact, they pretty much work the
    same exact way, which is as follows:

    Reduplicated Morpheme + Lexical Morpheme + Person-Number Suffix Morpheme

    2. Simplicity & Tips: One thing you may notice about the formation of the
    Perfect Middle is its simplicity; it only takes 3 morphemes to build it. You will
    notice right away probably that there is no Neutral (connecting / contracting)
    Morpheme here. You will also notice the Reduplicated Morpheme at the front of
    the word. Take note also that unlike other Middle Voice paradigms, the 2nd
    Person Singular here does not contract, that is, it retains its “sai” ending. Let’s get
    an idea of what we’re working with by looking at the table for the Perfect Middle
    Indicative:

    Perfect Middle Indicative


    Singular Plural
    I have loosed myself We have loosed ourselves
    1 le,|lu|mai I have loosed for myself le,|lu|meqa We have loosed for ourselves
    I myself have loosed We ourselves have loosed
    You have loosed yourself You (all) have loosed yourselves
    2 le,|lu|sai You have loosed for yourself le,|lu|sqe You (all) have loosed for yourselves
    You yourself have loosed You (all) yourselves have loosed
    He has loosed himself They have loosed themselves
    3 le,|lu|tai He has loosed for himself le,|lu|ntai They have loosed for themselves
    He himself has loosed They themselves have loosed

    3. Finality: Remember, when you are translating Perfects that they are attempting
    to show finality or completion! However, this is not to say that what happened in
    the past has no present or future ramifications. Indeed, the (Middle) Perfect may
    very well emphasize that what happened in the past still has bearing.
    th
    4. 5 Principle Part: Much has been made about the Perfect Middle being the 5th
    Principal Part, for a great visual overview of the 6 Principal Parts, see “Notes”
    #37.
    5. Consonant Stems: One of the irregularities of the Perfect is that in Middle and
    Passive words which end with a consonant. In general, we shall apply the rules of
    aspiration here. For the sake of sounding good (grammatically referred to as
    euphony), words such as grafw, which, in the Perfect Middle is gegraf + tai is
    actually rendered gegraptai. The same happens with bebavptiz + mai which is
    rendered bebavptismai.
