English

Adjective

modern-day ‎(not comparable)

1. Current, up-to-date.

   Modern-day Greek is a lot different from ancient Greek, or koine.

   • 2013, Daniel Taylor, Rickie Lambert's debut goal gives England victory over Scotland (in The Guardian, 14 August 2013)

     Lambert had been on the pitch only three minutes when he rose, in the style of a modern-day Nat Lofthouse, to score with the arching, powerful header that completely changed the emphasis on a night when Roy Hodgson's team had, at times, exhausted the patience of their home crowd.

2. Generally accepted.

   Of course, modern-day theories debunk that idea.
