How do you say repeat in Greek?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "repeat" in Greek, as the best word depends on the context. Here are a few options:

* Επανάλαβε (Epanálave): This is the most common and versatile option. It means "repeat" as a command ("Repeat!") or as a suggestion ("Please repeat"). It's the imperative form of the verb επαναλαμβάνω (epanalambáno - to repeat).

* Επαναλάβετε (Epanalávete): This is the polite form of the above, used when addressing more than one person or someone of higher social standing.

* Ξαναπες (Xanapes): This is a more informal way to say "repeat" (said to one person) meaning something like "Say it again". It's based on the verb λέω (leo - to say).

* Ξαναπείτε (Xanapíte): The polite form of the above.

* Πες το ξανά (Pes to xana): This literally translates to "Say it again" and is also quite informal.

To choose the best word, consider:

* Formality: Are you speaking to a friend or a superior?

* Number of people: Are you addressing one person or multiple people?

* The context of the repetition: Is it a command, a request, or a suggestion?

For most situations, επανάλαβε (epanálave) or επαναλάβετε (epanalávete) will be appropriate.
