Exegesis
The direct question is introduced by the interrogative ti {τί | tí} functioning adverbially as “why,” governing the present indicative luete {λύετε | lú-e-te} “you are untying,” which maintains vivid, immediate action.
In context — Luke 19:33
While they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you untying the colt ?”
