This Katharévousa Dimotikí dichotomy is pretty much alike to what still is taking place nowadays in Arabic. There is MSA that preserves the ancient grammar rules and vocabulary, however on familiar contexts it is never spoken, just used on official contexts that demand a higher register. All daily life communication is done in colloquial Arabic and speaking is Classical Arabic sounds either funny or whacky.
@@GeorgiosMichalopoulos Katharevousa isn't really a topic or subject that's usually covered that well sadly. Most books barely even mention it's existence which makes it quite difficult to find information (in English) on it. In this vid you covered some grammatical and lexical differences which was lovely and I'd love if you could cover that some more maybe? Maybe some more examples? Or maybe mention some works from the 18th-20th century in which one can see the different types of Katharevousa, ranging from extreme Atticisms to extreme Demotiki? Just throwing some ideas out there. It's all up to you! :). Don't feel obliged to make a video on it though, only if it's something you yourself are interested in. Subscribed, keep up the great content!
What a shame katharevousa in greece nowdays is at best a distant memory at worse a meme...

21:47 Yes, those words derive from Turkish manav (green grocer), kasap (butcher) and bakkal (convenience store owner).
These words are not officials in the Greek Language...
The Greek Language has Only Greek words as officials
Katharevousa will return as official Soon
谢谢！
