What is the Greek word for values?

There isn't one single perfect Greek word for "values" that covers all its nuances in English. The best translation depends on the *type* of values you mean:

* For moral or ethical values: ἀξίαι (axiai) is a good choice. This word refers to worth, merit, or value, often in a moral sense.

* For material values or the worth of something: τιμή (timē) is more appropriate. This word means price, honor, or value, often referring to the monetary or social worth of something.

* For values as in principles or beliefs: ἀρχαί (archai) could work, meaning principles or fundamental beliefs. Or δόγματα (dogmata) might be suitable, signifying doctrines or tenets.

Therefore, the best Greek word will depend on the context. You need to specify what kind of "values" you are referring to for a more precise translation.
