意味
Significantly superior to others.
文化的背景
In Greece, sports newspapers (like Gazzetta or Sport24) use this phrase constantly. It is the standard way to describe a 'derby' that turned out to be one-sided. When used in a professional context, it often refers to 'τεχνογνωσία' (know-how). Greeks value experience highly, and this phrase acknowledges a master-apprentice gap. Using this phrase to describe oneself is seen as a major social faux pas. It is almost exclusively used to praise others or objects. The term 'κλάση' is also linked to the 'year' you joined the army or graduated. Being in a 'higher class' historically meant having more authority.
Use it for emphasis
If you want to sound like a native sports fan, use this phrase instead of 'πολύ καλύτερος'.
Gender Agreement
Always check the gender of what you are comparing. It's the #1 mistake for learners.
