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

με

me/me/

The Greek word for "with" is με (me).

Meaning: with (prep)

Which one should you use?

You can use the phrase μαζί με when you want to place special emphasis on the fact of being "together with" someone or something.

The preposition με is followed by the accusative case. For example, when used with a definite article, it appears as με τον/τη/το (with the).

/me/

The modern word με evolved from the Byzantine phrase μεταῦτα, which literally meant 'with these things'.
In Greek, you use με to describe what a vehicle is powered by, such as saying a car runs 'with petrol' με βενζίνη. This functions differently than the English way of describing fuel sources.
The word με is a homonym in Greek, as it also means 'me' in the accusative case. Context is the only way to tell if a speaker means 'with' or is referring to themselves.
