How do you pronounce love in greek?

The Greek word for love is not a single word, as the concept of love is nuanced in Greek. There are several words, each conveying a different type of love:

* Αγάπη (Agápi): This is the most common word for love, often referring to a deep, spiritual, or unconditional love, like the love between God and humanity or a parent's love for a child. It's pronounced ah-GAH-pee. The emphasis is on the second syllable.

* Έρως (Éros): This refers to romantic love, passionate love, or sexual love. It's pronounced EH-ros. The emphasis is on the first syllable.

* Φιλία (Filía): This word means friendship or brotherly love. It's pronounced fee-LEE-ah. The emphasis is on the second syllable.

So, there's no single pronunciation, as the best choice depends on the *kind* of love you're describing.
