What does mwri mean (μωρή)

Question

I want to know what does mwri (μωρή) translate to in English.

Answer 1

"μωρή" is the feminine gender of the adjective μωρός, μωρή, μωρό.

“μωρός” means immature (ανώριμος) or idiot. 

See here for a full discussion of μωρός and βρε.

"Μωρή" is used when someone talks with great disrespect to a woman, in order to express anger.  It is very impolite. 

In modern Greek it is only used in vocative case form:

Μωρή, τι είναι αυτό που έκανες;  Πέταξες τα ρούχα μου;

You idiot, what did you do?  You have thrown my clothes away?

Comments

Τhe words mωρή (female) or μωρέ (male) has as its roots the word μορός (moron).   Infants are also called μωρά (infants) which is natural since infants are basically without knowledge.
While on the subject, the word "idiot" is also derived from the Greek word ιδιότης which in ancient times was used to identify persons who were not aristocracy nor landowners nor workers nor slaves, just private persons.  The word idiotis is still used in today's Greece to describe a person who is private, i.e. not associated with business, politics, etc.
