"Εγώ περνώ."

Translation: I pass.

[PhilSimmonds]

is there a pronunciation difference between παιρνω and περνω ? are they homonyms?

[panagiotis_ts]

• Περνώ (with the stress on "ώ") = pass, spend
• Παίρνω (with the stress on the first syllable) = take

I hope that this helps. :-)

Another pair distinguished by spelling in writing but only by accent in speech is

χώρος = space

χορός = dance

(And one that is distinguished only by accent is νόμος "law" versus νομός "nome [name of an administrative area in Greece]".)

Excellent - thanks

What does this verb actually mean? Pass/go through what? In what context can I use this?

[Vassilis3]

μου πέρασε ο θυμός=My anger passed, σε περνάω στο τρέξιμο=I surpass you on the run, οι σχέσεις με τη γειτονική χώρα περνούν φάση οξύτητας=Relations with the neighboring country are undergoing acidity, οι αθλητές μας πέρασαν τα όρια που είχαν τεθεί για την πρόκριση=Our athletes have crossed the limits set for qualifying, περάσαμε πολλές στενοχώριες=We have gone through many sorrows, περάσαμε καλά=we had a good time, πέρασα στην ιατρική=I succeeded to medicine etc (maybe)

Εσείς δεν θα περνάτε!

Does "έχω περνώ μέσα από" mean "I go/pass through"?

[mizinamo]

• έχω = I have
• εγώ = I

Other than that, I think yes, but μέσα από is a (compound) preposition, not an adverb, so you would use that if there is a noun following, e.g. "I pass through the tolls" (Εγώ περνώ μέσα από τα διώδια).
