How do you say weirdo in greek?

There isn't a single perfect translation for "weirdo" in Greek, as the best choice depends on the nuance you want to convey. Here are a few options, with slightly different connotations:

* περίεργος (periergos): This translates literally to "curious" but is often used to describe someone who is odd, eccentric, or peculiar. It's a relatively mild and neutral term.

* παράξενος (paraxenos): This means "strange" or "unusual" and is a good general option for "weirdo." It's also fairly neutral.

* τρελός (trelos): This means "crazy" or "mad." This is a much stronger word and should only be used if you want to imply the person is mentally unstable, not just eccentric.

* τρελαμένος (trelamenos): Similar to "trelos," but implies a more temporary state of craziness.

* αξύριστος (axyristos): This means "unshaven," but can be used ironically or playfully to describe a dishevelled or generally unkempt weirdo.

The best choice depends heavily on context. For a general, relatively harmless "weirdo," περίεργος (periergos) or παράξενος (paraxenos) are probably your safest bets.
