What is the Greek translation and pronunciation for idiot?

Answer 1

ιδιώτης (idiotis)

In ancient Greek that meant "a man who cares only for himself, an idiot". And that's the meaning of the word in English today. But in modern Greek, we mean somebody who doesn't work for a company, but for himself, and the word hasn't a bad meaning.

Answer 2

ΗΛΙΘΙΟΣ, Ηλίθιος. It is read as Ee-lee-thee-os.

If you want to call someone "stupid" then you'll have to say "Ηλίθιε!". It is read as "Ee-lee-thee-eh!"

Although "Idiot" is an ancient Greek word, standing for "the unsocialized" the word ΗΛΙΘΙΟΣ is carrying the Spanish EL as a prefix, so: ΗΛΙΘΙΟΣ = EL IDIOT.

Answer 3

Ηλίθιος [eelEEthios]
