Questions & Answers about Ми сіємо насіння, і паросток росте.

What form is сіємо?

Сіємо is the 1st person plural present-tense form of сіяти (to sow).

So:

• ми = we
• сіємо = we sow / we are sowing

The ending -ємо tells you the subject is we.

Does сіємо mean we sow or we are sowing?

It can mean either one, depending on context.

In Ukrainian, the present tense of an imperfective verb often covers both:

• a general/habitual meaning: we sow
• an ongoing meaning: we are sowing

The same is true for росте:

• it grows
• it is growing

Why is насіння in that form?
