Can anybody here speak Latin?
 
I can speak a little bit of Latin. Can anybody else here speak Latin?

I am learning how to speak Latin at school. But it's not really amusing when your teacher doesn't even move on the first chapter after months anad you start to realize that the year is over in less than 20 days. lol. So yeah... there goes my learning.

I started to learn it but meh, I have no patience. =D I know a few words tho...

Pete April 26th, 2005 9:41 PM

I wanted to do Latin, but my school, being one of those really crap sports-obsessed "elite" private schools, didn't do it o_O

I want to learn Latin too, that would make me quindrilingual :< but my school started offering it after my first year, when I had already started french, in addition to spanish. ohoho~

Eliana April 28th, 2005 3:22 AM

Well everyone knows a little o.o I mean, Spanish and French originated from Latin...o.o

Eon-Rider April 28th, 2005 3:24 AM

We're learning about taxonomy in my biophysics class, so we're going to learn a little Latin. But my school isn't offering Latin next year because their cutting a lot of classes to save money.

It means "seize the day." ^_^ I speak Italian...which is extremely similar to Latin...O_o So, if someone threw Latin phrases/words at me, I'd probably be able to interpret most of it. *shrugs*

DeathScape April 29th, 2005 2:42 PM

Nope! I don't think I would use it either.

The Fallen April 29th, 2005 3:38 PM

I can't, or at least I don't think I can.It would be cool to learn.

theskaboss April 29th, 2005 7:17 PM

I totally know like 6 words, most becuase of At The Drive In song titles...(i think they're in Latin...)

Charizard_Fire_God May 14th, 2005 7:05 AM

*sigh*
Ya want latin? I'll give ya latin!

estuans interius ira vehementi = burning inside with violent anger
sors imanis et inanis = fate monstrous and empty
veni, veni, venias ne me mori facias = o come, o come, o come, do not let me die
mens sana in corpore sano = healthy mind in healthy body
quo edvas naturalis non disturba = what comes natural doesn't bother ^_^ ...so stop complaining about people who love Dragons!!

Had enough? Thought so! XD

*sigh* They teach italian and latin in my hi-school but not at my math-informatics profile so I don't learn 'em. XD
*thunders* Fear the all-encompassing knowledge in my head! *is hit by a truck*

Dark Penguin May 14th, 2005 11:07 AM

heh heh do i speak latin? I go to a school were everyone HAS to take Latin I and II, and we have a vocab quiz with 10 words EVERY DAY!!! And homework EVERY NIGHT!!! I already know over 1,800 latin words, and can translate many sentences (including all of the ones czard posted above)

pika2000 May 14th, 2005 6:44 PM

I've been learning Latin for more than 2 years now.
It's very useful and also good for showing off XD

Dark Penguin May 14th, 2005 6:46 PM

its also good for swooning girls :D

Timbjerr May 15th, 2005 6:37 AM

I took only about 4 weeks of formal Latin instruction, but I'm quite familiar with both Spanish and a little bit of Italian and French, so I'd probably be able to translate latin if I had time to think about it. XD

Red530 May 15th, 2005 8:31 AM

I can't speak Latin, but I really really want to learn it!
