Is μηχανάκι really used for scooter in Greece? If so, what is σκούτερ used for? Thanks.

Μηχανάκι as far as I can tell is used for any small two - wheeled motorized vehicle. But there is also σκούτερ, and outer more specific names: μοτοσικλέτα, motorcycle etc. are used.

Thanks Jaye!

Instead of "μηχανάκι", it would be correct to say "μηχανή" that means "motorcycle" but also "machine" or "engine".

Pronunciation sounds like "mihanaiki" (motorcycle).

[jaye16]

Are you referring to the second α? The word sounds correct.

'My uncle didn't find the bike' was marked wrong.

We have added bike as an alternative translation.
