LESSON 36
old, antique, ancient

Compere: The first question is - can tourists buy ancient vases and take them back to their own country?

Contestant: No, because things from early times, such as ancient vases belong to national museums. They are not for sale.

Compere: Correct. Question two. If you buy antique jewellery, ornaments or furniture in an antique shop, how old do they have to be before you can say they are antique?

Contestant: Emm... Fifty years?

Compere: I'm sorry. Antique things have to be 100 years old or more. This is your final question. If somebody speaks modern Greek, how much ancient Greek can they understand?

Contestant: Very little, because the meaning of most words has changed during the last two thousand years.

Compere: Well done.
