Minnie Reviewed by Minnie on 09-08-2006. Speak Latin? Metella et milissa e vila mane discesserunt. Metella filio togam quaerebat. Metella et ancilla, postquam forum intraverunt, tabernam conspexerunt, ubi togae optimae erant. Multae feminae erant in taberna. servi gladiatoribus tunicas ostendebant. mercator in media taberna stabat. mercator erat Marcellus. Marcellus, postquam Metellam vidit, rogavit, "quid quaeris, domina?" "Togam quaero," inquit Metella. " ego filio donum quareo, quod diem natalem celebrat."

lol Will type more if somone knows what i said lol..i know what i said

After three years of Latin and just after sitting my Junior Cert exam in it in June i should be able to translate this :| ... Luckly i'm still waiting for my results

"Metella and Milissa departed from the villa early. (er couldnâ??t make sense of that? Thought mane meant to remain? Anyways!)
Metella sought a toga for his son. Afterwards, Metalla and a maid went into a shop in the forum and they caught sight of the best (superlative) toga.
There were many women in the shop and there were servants showing gladiators tunics. The shopkeeper stood in the middle of the shop. The shopkeeper was Marcellus. Afer Marcellus saw Metallus he asked:
â?? What is it you seek master? (sir) â??
â?? I seek a toga,â?� said Metallus. â?? I seek it for my son because we are celebratig his birthdayâ?�.
â??I have many togas,â?� responded the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper then gave a signal to a servant. The servant quickly gave togaâ??s to the shopkeeper. Marcellus showed the toga to the women. Metellus and the maid inspected the togaâ?¦.."

Er, it's probably wrong but yeah, whatever.
I'm wrecked :rasta: and have too mcuh time on my hands.

nah but i kinda wanna take latin class. is it really hard?

[halo]

No, Latin hasn't died, but it's evolved. I can speak two forms of modern Latin.

Non, le latin n'est pas mort, mais il a evolué. Je peux parler deux formes du latin moderne.

No, el latÃ*n no es muerto, pero ha desarrollado. Puedo hablar dos formas del latÃ*n moderno.

hahah

French and Spanish. And then there is the other modern latin language. Italian.

Italian is just a mixture of french and spanish :-)

Moi je suis francophone aussi. Je ne fume que les bonnes herbes; c'est parce que je suis trop defonce maintenant.

(Me i'm french-speaking also. I only smoke the good herbs ; that's why i am too stoned now).

Actually, French and Spanish are much more closely related to each other than either one is to Italian. French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and a few other minor Romance languages belong to the Western branch, while the rest (most notably Italian and Romanian) belong to the Eastern branch. If you really want to see what a language halfway between French and Spanish looks like, check out Catalan.
