Όσο κι αν προσπαθώ, η αποσυμφόρηση δεν τελειώνει και συσσωρεύονται πράγματα.

Όσο κι αν is a very common Greek pattern meaning something like:

• no matter how much
• however much
• even though I may try as much as possible

So Όσο κι αν προσπαθώ means No matter how much I try.

A few similar patterns are:

• Ό,τι κι αν λες... = Whatever you say...
• Όπου κι αν πάω... = Wherever I go...
• Όσο κι αν διαβάζω... = No matter how much I study...

The κι here is just a shortened form of και.

In everyday Greek, κι is a very common shortened form of και.

So:

• κι = and
• but in expressions like όσο κι αν, it is best understood as part of a fixed pattern

Both και and κι can appear, but κι is especially common before a word starting with a vowel, like αν.

So:

• όσο και αν
• όσο κι αν

mean the same thing, but όσο κι αν sounds more natural in ordinary speech.

After όσο κι αν, Greek often uses a non-past verb form to express a general or repeated situation: however much I try.

With many verbs, the form after αν may look the same as the present/indicative form, so for a learner it can be hard to tell by appearance alone. In this sentence, προσπαθώ works naturally because the meaning is ongoing and general:

• Όσο κι αν προσπαθώ = No matter how much I keep trying

If you used a different form, the nuance could change. Here the speaker is describing an ongoing frustration, so the present form fits very well.

Literally, αποσυμφόρηση means decongestion or relief from overcrowding/congestion.

But depending on context, it can sound more natural in English as:

• decluttering
• clearing things out
• reducing the backlog
• getting things under control

So in this sentence, it probably refers to some process of clearing out excess things, pressure, or buildup.

It is a feminine noun, which is why it appears as:

• η αποσυμφόρηση

The verb τελειώνω / τελειώνει means to finish or to end, depending on what the subject is.

Here the subject is η αποσυμφόρηση, so literally:

• η αποσυμφόρηση δεν τελειώνει
• the decluttering / clearing-out doesn’t end

In English, we often say it never ends, even when Greek says more literally doesn’t end.

So both are good ways to understand it.

Because its subject is πράγματα, which is plural.

Greek often allows the verb to come before the subject, so the structure is:

• συσσωρεύονται πράγματα
• literally: accumulate things
• natural English: things accumulate / things keep piling up

The verb συσσωρεύονται is third person plural, matching πράγματα.

Because πράγματα here is indefinite and general.

Compare:

• συσσωρεύονται πράγματα = things are piling up / stuff accumulates
• συσσωρεύονται τα πράγματα = the things are piling up or the situation/things are piling up, depending on context

Without the article, it sounds more like things, stuff, or various items in general, which is very natural here.

Formally, it is in the mediopassive form, but in meaning it is not necessarily a true passive like English are accumulated by someone.

Here it means:

• they accumulate
• they pile up

This is very common in Greek: some mediopassive forms have an active-like meaning in English.

So:

• συσσωρεύονται πράγματα does not mainly mean things are being accumulated by someone
• it more naturally means things are accumulating / piling up

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English.

This sentence could appear in slightly different orders, for example:

• Όσο κι αν προσπαθώ, η αποσυμφόρηση δεν τελειώνει και συσσωρεύονται πράγματα.
• Όσο κι αν προσπαθώ, δεν τελειώνει η αποσυμφόρηση και συσσωρεύονται πράγματα.

The original version is natural and clear. It puts η αποσυμφόρηση first, which gives it a little more focus as the thing that just won’t end.

Greek often uses word order to manage emphasis rather than basic grammatical correctness.

Because Όσο κι αν προσπαθώ is an introductory subordinate clause.

It sets the background:

• No matter how much I try, ...

Then the main statement follows:

• η αποσυμφόρηση δεν τελειώνει και συσσωρεύονται πράγματα

So the comma helps separate:

1. the concessive/background clause
2. the main clause

This is very normal punctuation in Greek.

Here και mainly means and, linking two related ideas:

• η αποσυμφόρηση δεν τελειώνει
• συσσωρεύονται πράγματα

Together, they create a frustrating sequence:

• the clearing-out process never ends,
• and meanwhile things keep piling up.

So και is simple grammatically, but it strengthens the feeling that both problems are happening at once.

The verbs are in the present tense:

• προσπαθώ
• τελειώνει
• συσσωρεύονται

But this is not just about what is happening right this second. In Greek, the present tense often describes:

• ongoing situations
• repeated situations
• general truths about the current period of life

So the sentence means something like:

• This keeps happening
• This is the situation I’m stuck in

That is why the present tense is the natural choice here.
