Latin!

[Druidus]

Talk in Latin here, or post your favourite Latin phrase, or your favourite phrase in Latin!

I'm not exactly sure if I'm getting this right, it's been awhile, but the first one to tell me what this means, get's 1000 coins, and frubals!!!

Veni Vidi Ebrius Linqui

And it's serious counterpart, worth only 500 coins (because so many will know it):

Veni Vidi Vici

 

[Green Gaia]

Veni Vidi Vici

I came, I saw, I conquered

 

[No*s]

"I came I saw, I left full" and "I came, I saw, I conquered." The latter was spoken by Julius Caesar, and I keep wanting to say Martial on the former, but it doesn't feel right .

Scribo Latine male, sed scribo. Difficulis est eo quod non magistrum habeo.

 

[Druidus]

Maize was right!

No*s, about my first one, maybe I remembered it wrong, but I thought it was something else. I'll PM you with what I thought it was.

OK . As I said, my Latin isn't very good. I could have misunderstood it, but it reminds me of a Latin epigram about going and eating boar at a friends house .

 

[No*s]

Well, this needs to be modified. I was wrong in that it was an infinitive. It would be "I came and saw to leave full." The "and" must be supplied. I misparsed linqui

 

[Druidus]

My bad anyway, I thought it was a whole different phrase!

1000 coins to you!

Your Latin, was it something about not speaking or writing latin well, and the difficulty resides in the fact that you have no instructor? Sorry I can't give you the exact phrase...

 

[No*s]

Thanks, but I still got it wrong .

I wrote: "I write latin poorly, but I do write. It is difficult, because I don't have a teacher."

 

[Valjean]

Homo homini lupus

Nihil ex nihilo fit

Quot homines tot sententiae

dum vivamus, vivamus

 

[Dinogrrl]

Sona si Latine loqueris! ^^

*also points to her sig*

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Mine's only pretend Latin, from the 'Discworld's' Night Watch books. The motto of slightly Dirty- Harry- like (at first) world of the Watch:

"Fabrici Diem, PVNK"

Although the person reading it to another chooses to translate it as "To Protect and Serve", I prefer the translation of "Make my day, punk."
