Συσσωρεύω πράγματα.

Συσσωρεύω is the 1st person singular present tense form of the verb συσσωρεύω.

So it means:

• I accumulate
• I am accumulating

In grammar terms, it is present, active, indicative.

Greek often drops the subject pronoun when it is already clear from the verb ending.

The ending -ω in συσσωρεύω already tells you the subject is I.

So:

• Συσσωρεύω πράγματα. = I accumulate things.
• Εγώ συσσωρεύω πράγματα. = I accumulate things with extra emphasis on I

You add εγώ only when you want contrast or emphasis.

Πράγματα is the accusative plural of πράγμα (thing).

It is in the accusative because it is the direct object of the verb: it is the thing being accumulated.

Useful forms:

• το πράγμα = the thing
• τα πράγματα = the things
• πράγματα = things

Because πράγμα is neuter, the nominative plural and accusative plural are the same: πράγματα.

A rough pronunciation is:

see-so-RE-vo PRA-ghma-ta

Stress:

• συσσωρεύω
• πράγματα

A few notes:

• σσ is written double, but in normal Modern Greek it is usually pronounced like a single s
• ρ is a tapped Greek r
• γ in πράγματα is not a hard English g; it is softer, a kind of throaty gh

It can mean either one.

The Greek present tense often covers both:

• I accumulate things (habitually / generally)
• I am accumulating things (right now)

Context tells you which meaning is intended.

For example:

• with no context, it can sound general
• with a time word like τώρα (now), it clearly sounds ongoing:
  Τώρα συσσωρεύω πράγματα. = I’m accumulating things now.

Yes, it is correct Greek, but it sounds a bit stronger or more formal than some everyday alternatives.

Συσσωρεύω suggests:

• accumulating
• piling up
• building up over time

It can be used for:

• physical things
• money
• debt
• stress
• problems

If you mean something more like collect or gather, Greek might often use:

• μαζεύω
• συγκεντρώνω

So συσσωρεύω πράγματα is correct, but it can sound like I keep piling things up rather than simply I collect things.

Because the sentence is talking about things in general, not a specific set of things.

So:

• Συσσωρεύω πράγματα. = I accumulate things
• Συσσωρεύω τα πράγματα. = I accumulate the things / I pile up the things

The version without the article is the normal choice for a general meaning.

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English.

The neutral sentence here is:

• Συσσωρεύω πράγματα.

But you can also say:

• Εγώ συσσωρεύω πράγματα. = emphasizes I
• Πράγματα συσσωρεύω. = emphasizes things

Even though the order can change, the basic meaning stays the same because the verb ending and noun forms show the grammar clearly.

Here are the present tense forms of συσσωρεύω:

• συσσωρεύω = I accumulate
• συσσωρεύεις = you accumulate
• συσσωρεύει = he/she/it accumulates
• συσσωρεύουμε = we accumulate
• συσσωρεύετε = you all / you formal accumulate
• συσσωρεύουν(ε) = they accumulate

So:

• Συσσωρεύεις πράγματα. = You accumulate things.
• Συσσωρεύει πράγματα. = He/She accumulates things.

Two things often stand out to learners:

1. It has double sigma: σσ
   This is part of the standard spelling. In Modern Greek, it is usually not pronounced as a long double s.

2. The stress is important
   The accent goes on έ: συσσωρεύω

So be careful not to move the stress to another syllable.

Also note the related noun:

• πράγμα = thing
• πράγματα = things

That plural ending -τα is very common for neuter nouns in Greek.
