(n) Ki alla

Using the Greek alphabet, it is written as:

Editor’s note: Akomi / ακόμη can also be used in a plural statement but would require the quantity (e.g., Cardinal number) to follow it to make the statement plural. For example, “We want another three coffees.” is translated in Greek as Theloume akomi treis kafedes / Θέλουμε ακόμη τρεις καφέδες.)
