뜻
Having ideas or behaviors that do not fit the real world.
문화적 배경
The phrase is a staple of 'parapolitika' (political gossip) and formal debates. It reflects the Greek public's deep cynicism towards political promises. Parents often use this to ground their children's ambitions, reflecting a cultural value of 'prosgiosi' (grounding/landing). Journalists use it to describe the 'bubble' of social media influencers or celebrities who seem unaware of the economic crisis. The concept of being 'outside reality' echoes Plato's Allegory of the Cave, where those inside the cave are disconnected from the true reality outside.
Use with Adverbs
Always pair it with 'εντελώς' or 'τελείως' to sound like a native speaker when you are frustrated.
Case Sensitivity
Never forget the 'ς' at the end of 'πραγματικότητας'. Using the nominative makes you sound like a beginner.
