English term or phrase: He wants to know.
Hello,

How do you say 'He wants to know' in Greek? Ordinarily, I might use a computer translator for something like this. However, I have found that even the simplest sentences in Greek are usually wrong in computerized translations.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Brian Costello

Thank you very much for your translation Socratis Vavilis.

I believe all three of you gentleman.

I was unaware that "know" is a more complex verb in Greek than in English. Votong was not easy however I chose Socratis' answer because it seems to be the context I was looking for and checks out on the internet too.

Thanks again everyone for your answers and your help.

Sincerely,
