C1 Expression 正式

κατά κύριο λόγο

mainly

意思

Primarily or for the most part.

🌍

文化背景

In Greek universities, using this phrase in an essay is almost mandatory to achieve a high grade in 'Expression'. It shows the student can move beyond 'Demotic' (everyday) Greek. Politicians use this phrase to avoid 'absolute' statements. By saying 'primarily', they leave room for other factors, which is a common rhetorical tactic in the Greek Parliament (Vouli). In Cyprus, the phrase is used similarly in formal settings, though in the Cypriot dialect, speakers might use different local adverbs in casual speech. Second-generation Greeks often struggle with this phrase, preferring the English-influenced 'κυρίως'. Using it correctly is a sign of 'advanced' heritage language mastery.

🎯

The 'O' Rule

Always remember it ends in 'O'. Many learners try to use 'λόγου' because they think it sounds more 'ancient', but 'λόγο' is the only correct modern form.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

If you use it three times in one paragraph, you'll sound like a robot. Mix it up with 'κυρίως' or 'προπάντων'.
