How do you say inlaws in greek?

There isn't one single word for "in-laws" in Greek that encompasses all of them. You need to specify which in-laws you're referring to. Here are some options:

* Πεθερός (petherós): Father-in-law

* Πεθερά (pethera): Mother-in-law

* Κουνιάδος (kounjádos): Brother-in-law (husband's brother)

* Κουνιάδα (kounjáda): Sister-in-law (husband's sister)

* Συγγενείς του/της συζύγου (syggéneis tou/tis syzygou): Relatives of the spouse (this is the most general term and would cover all in-laws)

To use the last option, you'd need to say something like: "Οι συγγενείς της συζύγου μου" (Oi syggéneis tis syzygou mou) which means "My spouse's relatives". You'd replace "της συζύγου" (tis syzygou - of the wife) with "του συζύγου" (tou syzygou - of the husband) if you are a woman talking about her husband's family.
