"Η κατηγορία είναι σοβαρή."

Translation: The accusation is serious.

[Snommelp]

So "accusation" and "category" are one and the same?

[JacobPast177]

The Online Etymology Dictionary has an article on the word category that sheds some light on how this came about:

How interesting... thanks!

[Carradee]

Might "solemn" work for σοβαρή?

[Lng52-._]

I think that is "επίσημος".

[Sninguistics]

Isn't that 'official'? I feel like solemn or sober would work for σοβάρος.

[Sninguistics]

(*σοβαρός)

[G.Georgopoulos]

"Solemn" is a bit too formal in this case, but we've found it in an official document online, so we'll add it.

[Damien459451]

So category is correct but subject is not?

[G.Georgopoulos]

Yes, these words are not related.

[Vemund75118]

Hm. In Norge we use the word kategori(κατηγορι) in the meaning compartement.
