G4441

πυνθάνομαι

punthanomai (poon-than'-om-ai) v.
1. to question, i.e. ascertain by inquiry
2. (by implication) to learn (by casual intelligence)
{as a matter of information merely; and thus differing from G2065, which properly means a request as a favor; and from G154, which is strictly a demand for something due; as well as from G2212, which implies a search for something hidden; and from G1189, which involves the idea of urgent need}
[middle voice prolonged from a primary putho (which occurs only as an alternate in certain tenses)]
KJV: ask, demand, enquire, understand
Compare: G2065, G154, G2212, G1189
