Usage
The Greek word "εἰ" (ei) is a conjunction used primarily to introduce conditional clauses. It is often translated as "if" or "whether" in English. This word sets the stage for hypothetical or conditional statements, indicating a condition that must be met for something else to occur. It is a fundamental part of Greek syntax, especially in forming conditional sentences that express potentiality or uncertainty.
