Appendix:Greek verbs/Β

• Αn arbitrary list of some 9,000 Greek verbs together with their chief inflected forms.
• Users are warned — these tables contain errors which, together with omissions, may be reported here.
• Sources sometimes differ — the presence or absence of a form should not taken as evidence.

• The main lemma form on each line in the table links to a Wiktionary entry; there are additional links to:
  • el   — το Βικιλεξικό
  •   — at "The Portal for the Greek Language" — "Η Πύλη για την Ελληνική Γλώσσα"
• The translation may be approximate and will not include every meaning, which may be seen at the verb's entry.
• Forms of a verb may often be listed in the same line, usually with the most common form first. Sometimes adjacent verbs are related and tied together with a broader, shared border - the colour is not significant.
• With second conjugation verbs the "-άω" (and sometimes the "-'ιζω") forms are listed with the "-ώ" form, even when that form is less common.
• The major sources used are listed at the foot of this page.

  ➤   Indicates another, possibly more common, form of the verb elsewhere in these appendices.

  †   Indicates that forms of the perfective aspect or simple past are absent or rare. Sometimes authorities differ, in such cases the symbol may be accompanied by a form. Occasionally an imperfect tense form may be included.

  ‡   Idiomatic, colloquial, slang, familiar or dialect forms.

  §   Terms which might be described as learned, scholarly, 'Older', archaic or Katharevousa.

  þ   Terms largely, but not solely, limited to use in set phrases and clichés.

  Ø   Neologisms

pass   will sometimes be found when the passive form differs in translation form the active.

  ()   Terms in brackets are less common, deprecated or of disputed existence; or with active forms when the passive is much more common.
