Usages of kupumua
Miguu yangu ina maumivu kidogo, lakini bado ninaweza kupumua vizuri ninaposhikilia reli ya basi.
My legs have a bit of pain, but I can still breathe well when I hold onto the bus railing.
Mimi pia nilienda chumba cha kulala kumtazama, lakini aliniambia anataka kupumua kimya kimya.
I also went to the bedroom to look at her, but she told me she wants to breathe quietly.
Msongo wa mawazo ukizidi, tulia na pumua taratibu.
If stress increases, calm down and breathe slowly.
Asha alitulia, akapumua taratibu, akapunguza msongo wa mawazo.
Asha calmed down, breathed slowly, and reduced stress.
Mimi ninapumua kwa kina kabla ya mtihani.
I breathe deeply before the exam.
Kadiri tunavyofanya mazoezi ya kupumua polepole, ndivyo pumzi yetu inavyokuwa tulivu.
The more we do slow breathing exercises, the calmer our breath becomes.
Moyo unapopiga haraka, pumua polepole ili utulie.
When your heart is beating fast, breathe slowly so that it calms down.
