<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 8510181, member: 72790"]They generally knew what I was trying to say but found it amusing. The two forms og Greek used today, the purified Kathervousi (sp?) and the demotic. The latter is simpler, fewer cases, tenses and more use of prepositions. The former is more formal and likely to be used in printed matter. Unfortunately this became involved in politics over whether or not the monarchy should be restored and one side argued for the pure Greek, the other for the more common. I forget which was which.
