意味
Mostly or generally speaking.
文化的背景
In Greek universities, using 'logia' (learned) expressions like 'κατά το πλείστον' is expected in written assignments. It demonstrates that the student has moved beyond 'street Greek' and has mastered the formal language of the state. The Greek news (especially on state channels like ERT) maintains a high level of formality. 'Κατά το πλείστον' is a staple of news scripts to provide a sense of objectivity and seriousness. Politicians in the Greek Parliament often use this phrase to qualify their statements, making them sound more measured and less aggressive. Greeks take pride in the fact that they can use phrases that would have been understood 2,000 years ago. This phrase is a bridge to the classical past.
