뜻
Happening from time to time, not continuously.
문화적 배경
The phrase is ubiquitous in Greek bureaucracy. If a service is 'intermittent,' it's a polite way of saying it's unreliable. Similar usage to Greece, but often heard in political discussions regarding the 'intermittent' progress of peace talks. Second-generation Greeks often lose this phrase, replacing it with the English-influenced 'μερικές φορές,' making their Greek sound less 'educated' to native ears. Sailors use it to describe sea states and wind gusts, where precision about intermittence is vital for safety.
Use it in Writing
Whenever you want to write 'sometimes' in an essay, replace it with 'κατά διαστήματα' for an instant grade boost.
Plural Only
Never use the singular 'διάστημα' in this specific phrase. It sounds wrong to native ears.
