What is the Greek word for vitality?

There isn't a single perfect Greek word for "vitality" that captures all its nuances. Here are some options and their nuances:

* Ζωτικότητα (Zotikótita): This is the closest translation to "vitality" and refers to the power of life and energy. It emphasizes the dynamic and active aspect of vitality.

* Δυναμισμός (Dynamismós): This word means vigor, energy, and force. It emphasizes the strength and power associated with vitality.

* Ενέργεια (Energía): While it literally translates to "energy", it also encompasses the force and drive that contribute to vitality.

* Ζωή (Zoí): This means "life" and can be used metaphorically to refer to the spark and vibrancy of life, which is a core aspect of vitality.

The best choice depends on the context and the specific aspect of vitality you want to emphasize.

For example:

* "He radiated zotikótita with his youthful spirit." (Emphasis on dynamic energy)

* "She possessed a dynamysmós that made her a leader." (Emphasis on strength and power)

* "The city buzzed with energía during the festival." (Emphasis on force and drive)

* "Her eyes sparkled with the zoí of a thousand suns." (Emphasis on the vibrancy of life)
