Aorist (English spelling)

Japanese: アオリスト(英語表記)aorist
Aorist (English spelling)
An aspect of verbs in ancient Greek and Sanskrit. It indicates an action or phenomenon as a single event, regardless of its aspect such as perfection, continuity, or repetition. The aorist indicative mood égrapsa of the ancient Greek gráphō (I write) simply indicates the event "I wrote" as a single event, and contrasts with the imperfect égraphon (I was writing, I was going to write, etc.). In this way, the indicative mood is usually used to indicate past events, so it is usually treated as a tense.

古代ギリシア語やサンスクリット語などの動詞のアスペクトの一つ。完了・継続・反復といった様相と無関係に,単に一つの出来事として動作・現象を示すもの。古代ギリシア語 gráphō (私は書く) の直説法アオリスト égrapsaは「私は書いた」という出来事を単純に一つの出来事として示し,未完了の égraphon (私は書いていた,書こうとしていた,など) と対立する。このように直説法では過去の出来事を表わすのが普通なので,普通は時制の一つとして扱われる。
