Signification
Speaking or writing Greek with complete mastery.
Contexte culturel
In Greek communities abroad (USA, Australia, Germany), speaking 'άπταιστα ελληνικά' is a point of pride for second and third-generation Greeks. It signifies a strong connection to their roots and heritage. Historically, European intellectuals (Philhellenes) who supported the Greek Revolution were expected to know Ancient Greek. Today, modern Greeks view foreigners who master the modern language with similar high regard. Greek television often features segments on foreigners (actors, athletes) who have learned the language. The headline 'Μιλάει άπταιστα ελληνικά' is a guaranteed way to get clicks and positive comments. The Greek school system places a heavy emphasis on 'correct' language use. As a result, native speakers can be quite critical of grammar, making the achievement of 'άπταιστα' even more impressive for a learner.
Use it for CVs
When applying for jobs in Greece, use the phrase 'Άπταιστη γνώση της Ελληνικής' to stand out. It sounds much more professional than 'Ξέρω καλά ελληνικά'.
Don't overpraise
If someone is clearly a beginner, using 'άπταιστα' might sound like you are making fun of them. Stick to 'πολύ καλά' for intermediate learners.
