How do you say in Greece?

The phrase "How do you say...?" in Greek depends on what you want to know how to say. There isn't a single direct translation. Here are a few options, depending on the context:

* Πώς λέγεται αυτό; (Pos legetai afto?) - This is the most common way to ask "How do you say this?" It's suitable when pointing to an object or referring to something already mentioned.

* Πώς λέμε... στα ελληνικά; (Pos leme... sta ellinika?) - This translates to "How do we say... in Greek?". This is useful when you want to know the Greek translation of a word or phrase. You would fill in the "..." with the word or phrase you want to translate.

* Μπορείτε να μου πείτε πώς λέγεται... στα ελληνικά; (Boreite na mou peite pos legetai... sta ellinika?) - This is a more polite and formal way to ask "Could you tell me how you say... in Greek?". Again, fill in the "..." with the word or phrase.

So, to use these, you would say something like:

* Πώς λέγεται αυτό; (pointing at a cat) - "How do you say this?" (referring to the cat)

* Πώς λέμε "hello" στα ελληνικά; - "How do we say "hello" in Greek?"

* Μπορείτε να μου πείτε πώς λέγεται "thank you" στα ελληνικά; - "Could you tell me how you say "thank you" in Greek?"
