πούμε
The Greek word "πούμε" means "we say" or "let's say."
In this sentence, 'πούμε' is part of the fixed expression 'ας πούμε,' which translates to 'let's say' and is used to introduce a hypothetical or illustrative example.
Ας πούμε ότι θα πάμε διακοπές το καλοκαίρι.
Let's say that we will go on vacation in the summer.
Here, 'πούμε' comes from the verb 'λέω' (to say/tell), in its subjunctive form, and is used to suggest or propose saying/telling something together.
Θέλεις να πούμε αυτήν την ιστορία ξανά;
Do you want us to tell this story again?
In this context, 'πούμε' is again subjunctive, appearing after 'να,' and is used to indicate the act of saying or telling something, specifically the truth in this sentence.
