I have access to the whole Greek keyboard but I still can't figure out how to add accents. Can someone help me out here?
Ok, it's really easy once you learn how.
- On the Modern Greek keyboard
- Type the ; (the key on the right of the L)
- Nothing will appear. 4 Type the vowel you want
- The vowel with the accent will appear ...ά, έ, ί etc.

I just don't know when a transliteration is requested or an actual translation. Could you please solve this issue?
We do not ask for any transliteration. In this case it is requesting the translation (the English meaning of the word) just hover you mouse over the Greek word and you will see the English.

Does "dada" also mean "flashlight", as in a modern "torch", as said in England?
No, δάδα means a 'torch' with a flame. It looks something like the Olympic torch but much smaller.
Yes, this is a funny word but we are trying to familiarize you with the Greek letters. Since you are new here are some links to keep for reference. Do read the beginning then when you need them check out the other links further down. links
The letters in Greek have names. So, Aa/Αα is named "alpha άλφα", the letter "o/ο" is named "omikron/όμικρον". Some are really simple: "Nn/Νν" is named "nee/νι. etc.
Read the Tips & note on the top left of the page for information about the Greek alphabet.
Don't hesitate to ask us questions.
