Kultureller Hintergrund
Greeks value 'high-register' language in professional settings to establish credibility. Using this phrase shows you are 'serious' (σοβαρός). News anchors in Greece use a very specific, formal dialect. This phrase is a staple of 'Journalese' in Athens. When dealing with Greek public services (Δημόσιο), officials use this phrase to indicate that a process is ongoing but not yet finished. Greek universities still emphasize formal rhetoric. Students are expected to use such collocations in their theses.
