How to Say "Grey" in Greek - How To Say Guide

γκρι

gkri/ˈɡɾi/

Grey in Greek is γκρι (gkri).

For dark grey say σκούρο γκρι, and for light grey say ανοιχτό γκρι.

How does it change in a sentence?

γκρι is indeclinable, so it does not change for gender, number or case.

γκρι is pronounced /ˈɡɾi/, romanized gkri. The γκ spelling stands for a hard g sound.

If you use the word γκρι to describe a person's hair, a Greek speaker might perceive the description as more clinical or detached than using more traditional, native Greek terms for hair color.
The word γκρι is an uninvited guest in the Greek language, having been borrowed directly from the French word gris.
In Greek, the letter combination γκ is used to ensure the 'g' sound is hard, as a single γ often sounds like a 'y' or a voiced 'h'.

σκούρο γκρι means dark grey, with γκρι keeping its form.
