What is 'Pippo' when translated from Italian to English?

Answer 1

"(That) they may build up," "(that) you all may exaggerate," "Let them pump up," and "(you all) siphon!" are figurative and literal English equivalents of the Italian verb pompino. Context makes clear whether the present imperative and subjunctive verb is in the second person formal plural (cases 2, 4) or the third person plural (examples 1, 3) and whether the word additionally serves as a vulgarity to be avoided. The pronunciation will be "pom-PEA-no" in Italian.

Answer 2

"Goofy," "Joey," and "Phil" are English equivalents of the Italian name Pippo. Context makes clear whether the diminutive in question is an affectionate nickname for a Walt Disney cartoon character (case 1) or for the Italian forenames Filippo ("Philip") and Giuseppe ("Joseph"). The respective pronunciations will be "PEEP-po" for the nickname and "fee-LEEP-po" and "djo-ZEP-pey" for the forenames in Italian.
