Questions & Answers about Φουσκώνω τη σαμπρέλα με την τρόμπα από τη βαλβίδα.

What form is φουσκώνω?

Φουσκώνω is the 1st person singular present form of the verb φουσκώνω, which means to inflate, to blow up, to pump up.

• or I am inflating

The exact English choice depends on context.

Why is there no separate word for I in the sentence?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb ending.

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

So:

• Φουσκώνω = I inflate / I am inflating

You could say Εγώ φουσκώνω, but that adds emphasis, like:

• I’m the one inflating it
• I inflate it, not someone else
