What Does Inhale Mean?

Inhale

Say: IN-hail

You're doing it now... and now... and now... and now! You're breathing in, or inhaling, that is. You need to inhale air into your lungs to keep every cell in your body alive.Your lungs are kind of like balloons, and when you breathe in (inhale), they get bigger. Then when you breathe out (exhale) and let that air back out, they get smaller. That's why your chest goes up and down when you breathe.
