What is the Greek word for gifted?

There isn't one single perfect Greek word for "gifted" that covers all its nuances (naturally talented, highly skilled, endowed with a gift). The best translation depends on the context. Here are a few options with slightly different meanings:

* Δωρημένος (dōrēmenos): This literally means "gifted" in the sense of "given as a gift," implying a divine or natural endowment. It's a good choice if you're referring to someone born with a talent.

* Ταλαντούχος (talantouchos): This word derives from "ταλέντο" (talento), meaning "talent." It directly translates to "talented" and is a very common and versatile option.

* Έμφυτος (emphutos): This means "innate" or "inborn," suggesting a natural talent rather than one learned.

* Ιδιαίτερα χαρισματικός (idiaitera charismatikos): This is a more emphatic phrase meaning "particularly gifted" or "exceptionally charismatic," implying a special and noticeable talent.

The best word to use will depend on the specific context and the type of gift being described.
