Greek term

Malakas

Non-PRO Greek to English Other
I have no idea. But it was in this sentence: "pet eisai kai fainesai re malakistiri Eiji."

Eiji being a name.

Arsehole

Not very polite, as you can see... Unfortunately, it is WIDELY used in Greece, often even instead of somebody's name, in the sense of "man", as in English slang "Hello, man".
But in your case, the meaning is "arsehole", judging from the sentence you provided which translates as "YOU are an arsehole, Eiji". Apparently, Eiji called names the other person, and that's what he answered.

"w..ker", not to be fully translated. Use metaphors such as "silly, plonker,idiot"
