What is go in Greek?

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

* Πηγαίνω (pinaíno): This is the most common and versatile verb meaning "to go" or "to be going." It's suitable for most situations.

* Πάω (páō): This is the shorter, more informal form of πηγαίνω.

* Υπάγω (ypágo): This means "to go under," "to submit," or "to be subordinate to," and is used in more formal or specific contexts.

* Φεύγω (févgō): This means "to leave," "to depart," or "to flee," implying a more definite departure than simply "going."

To choose the right word, you need to consider the nuance you want to convey. For example:

* "I'm going to the store" would be "Πάω στο κατάστημα" (Páō sto katástēma) or "Πηγαίνω στο κατάστημα" (Pinaíno sto katástēma).

* "He went to Athens" would be "Πήγε στην Αθήνα" (Píge stin Athína) - the aorist tense of πηγαίνω.

* "The army went into battle" might use a more specific verb depending on the type of movement.

Therefore, there's no single answer. Provide a sentence where you'd use "go," and a more precise translation can be given.
