Greek euphemisms are expressions that soften or obscure harsh or unpleasant realities, often used to address sensitive topics with more tact. They can involve metaphors, indirect language, or idiomatic phrases that convey meaning without being blunt. For example, instead of saying someone has died, one might say they have "gone to a better place." These euphemisms reflect cultural values of politeness and respect in communication.
