Exegesis
The first question begins with the interrogative Ti {Τί | Tí} in a construction with the impersonal verb dokei {δοκεῖ | do-keî}, literally “What seems to you?”, which idiomatically means “What do you think?”
A second interrogative clause, tinos huios estin {τίνος υἱός ἐστιν | tí-nos hu-i-ós é-stin}, uses the genitive tinos ‘whose’ to ask about the lineage of the Messiah, highlighting the importance of ancestral descent.
In context — Matthew 22:42
Saying, “What do you think concerning the Christ ? Whose son is He?” They say to Him, “Of David .”
