Ειμαι μπροστα/πισω στο σκορ

[smolaki]

Hello!

I would like to ask you about the english translation of the greek phrase "ειμαι/βρισκομαι μπροστα/πισω στο σκορ".

I have searched in many translators but I can't find the presice translation.

Any idea or help would be precious.

Thanks!

I am behind (by a score of)...

For "είμαι πίσω στο σκορ" you can also use the verb "to trail by"
For example:

"The Lakers are trailing by 6 (points)"

What is the actual Greek word for 'score'?

 

[Tassos]

For the noun "score" it's simply the greek transliteration of the word, i.e. σκορ
For the verb "to score" it's again a "greekisized" version of the same word, i.e. σκοράρω

If you want "pure" greek words a goal in soccer is called τέρμα and a basket in basketball is called καλάθι.
For the action of scoring we say πετυχαίνω τέρμα (somewhat formal, not often used) and πετυχαινω καλάθι (used fairly often).
