English to Greek translation tips

  • English is written in the Latin alphabet, and Greek uses the Greek alphabet, so the translator converts between writing systems for you.
  • Greek inflects nouns, articles, and adjectives together for gender and case, so agreement must stay consistent across the whole phrase. English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out.
  • Greek uses its own alphabet entirely; the translator outputs genuine Greek script, not a Latin transliteration ('Greeklish').
  • Questions end with the Greek question mark (;), which looks like a semicolon, instead of '?'.
  • Nouns and adjectives carry grammatical gender and decline through four cases, with the definite article agreeing in gender, number, and case.
  • Greek distinguishes informal and formal 'you' (εσύ vs εσείς); the translator defaults to a neutral register, so add a cue like 'formal' for business writing.

Greek false friends to watch for

  • συμπαθητικός looks like “sympathetic” but means likable, nice.
  • παθητικός looks like “pathetic” but means passive.
