How do you write miss in greek?

There isn't a direct translation of "Miss" in Greek in the same way it's used in English. "Miss" implies a young, unmarried woman. The way you'd address someone depends on context:

* If you're unsure of marital status and want to be polite: Use κυρία (kyria). This is the equivalent of "Madam" or "Mrs." and is a respectful way to address a woman regardless of her marital status.

* If you know she's unmarried and want to use a term that suggests youth (though less common now): You could theoretically use δεσποινίς (despoinís), but it sounds quite formal and is rarely used in modern Greek. It's an older, more formal term and can feel stiff or even outdated.

In almost all cases, κυρία (kyria) is the safest and most appropriate way to address a woman in Greek. You wouldn't typically use a direct equivalent of "Miss" like you would in English.
