French lessons: ✨Je suis allé en France. C’était bien. J’aime le football. Mon père n’aime pas le football.✨

Latin Lessons: 💀gladiator in viro gladium posuit. multum sanguinis fluxit. Homo mortuus est.💀

#I hate French more than I can express #I went to france. it was good. I like football. my father does not like football. #the gladiator put the sword in the man. a lot of blood flowed. The man died. #Latin lessons #Latin #French #school life #GCSEs #languages #linguistics

mea delicia means ”my delicious” actually

delicia would be used for delicious food or when someone looks super hot (they look delicious)

well, Felix probably meant it that way even if the ignorant author did not 🫣

The fact that I’m about to teach my cousin and closest friend basic Latin while also wanting to have a career in education is amazing. I’ll already setting up lessons on verbs and nouns.

Yes, me and @stormmoth learned some Latin in school. It makes no sense and I’m teaching it to people anyway. Lol.

just found out that one of dr ratio’s idles is an apple falling on his head whilst he is deep in contemplation.

i know this is a jab at isaac newton and now he discovered gravity, but may i just raise:

since dr ratio is greco-roman inspired, an apple being thrown at someone in Ancient Greece is also a proposal or declaration of love. so the apple that fell on his head was actually because of me, not isaac newton, thank you and have a blessed day.

#i learnt this in my Latin class #fun fact i took latin and maybe one lesson of Ancient Greek #i do not remember anything from latin all you need to know is that cicero means chickpea #so there was an iconic roman politician fully named Cicero in the senate #anyways #earfsmercury

now, I don't mean to quibble, but I do mean to quibble, because if someone tells me their name is Marcus, I'm not going to say "wrong. it's Marce" I'm going to call them Marcus because that's their name

#//juri speaks #felt too dumb for welsh tonight but still wanted to get a lesson in #so i dipped a toe back into latin and man. come on. dont ding me bc i didnt know the latin version of a name or w/e

[enden-k]

ratio says a lot of funny words in combinations i don't understand but it's attractive for some reason

this is how that one spanish duolingo guy w the moustache sounds like to me too tbh

#i dont understand anything but its attractive for sure #im actually lying i do understand a tiny bit of spanish ig thanks to me speaking latin and french and a few other crumbs u can derive from #im also not taking spanish lessons i just heard that in a stream once and was like ayo im feeling like im getting seduced here??? #reply

#hetalia #SoT #incorrect quotes #outlander AU #SoT incorrect quotes #hws northern ireland #hws scotland #etymology is fun so here we have the meaning of callum's name #'callum' is a scottish gaelic variant of the latin name 'columba' which means dove #'dougall' however is the anglicized version of the gaelic 'dubhghall' or 'dúbgall' #which is a combination of 'dubh' (dark) and 'gall' (stranger #so that was todays etymology lesson :D

farkhad more like fart god ha ha

not particularly funny to mock persian name فرهاد because you think it sounds weird. where would you even find the "t-" or the "g-" sounds? or even the "o" for that matter. what is romanized from russian фархад as "kh" is an open + somewhat guttural "HH" sound. it actually as a "scratchier", more guttural sound to it in russian as х than as in farsi/persian, from what i've heard. the second "a", which you've taken upon making an "o", is actually a very bright, clear, stressed "aa" sound, unmistakeable, and the amount of vocal gymnastics involved to make it into a "o" sound make the "joke" closer to trying to fit a square peg 3cm wide at the blunt tip in your ear canal. i won't stop you from doing that but i'll mock you for it, especially if you do it publicly. council statement: unfunny + juvenile weird xenophobic vibes + linguistically unsound. you get nothing but a pointed finger and being laughed at, and not with. goodbybye.

#put your fingers together so i can smack them with a ruler and go in the corner balancing on your knees on a piece of wood. #you be a lesson for the rest. if you're gonna try to make ''joke'' about how a foreign name sound ridiculous at least make it count. #smh. you don't even know about the latin vowel shifts do you #ring ring (answers)

#this post is sponsored by me stopping my latin lesson because there’s something that reminded me of them again #someday I’ll make a post collecting bits of roman poetry that remind me of them

[zombiequeenblog]

Here's a very, very little bit from the next Sadistic and Glorious Bastard:

“If you try and run from me, cara, I will make you regret the day you stepped in this building.” I looked over to see him leaning back in his chair, slicking his hair down as he sighed up at the ceiling. Our eyes met as the lock clicked audibly in the tension. He smiled a little. “Come back here to me.”

#it's just a latin lesson i swear #nothing untoward will happen here #everything will be fine #just fine #just (fucking) fine #there will be fucking

found a messed up looking kid on the side of the road (Artist rendition)

#Does anyone know who this is? #I have no idea where they came from. #They only speak in latin #Good thing I've been taking latin lessons lately. #I had to put a bell on them because they keeps sneaking up on me. #And for whatever reason they keep eating just cheese. #Nothing else #Just cheese.

why did no one told me about the amount of bags i have to carry around with me, when i decided to become a dancer???

#lesbian #sapphic #lesbians #dance lessons #standard and latin #latin dance #standard dance #partner dance #like being a dancer just means that i have to carry stuff around forever #the real reason why my shoulders hurt

[alternis]

that poll abt life skills reminded me that when i talked to my brother for the first time in years recently he started the conversation with "salve! ... oh sorry ive been learning latin" and i responded with the ultimate 'ah fuck we really are siblings' of all time by saying "oh dont worry, ive been learning japanese"

#i tried learning latin at gcse but they only offered weekly after school lessons #and literally like one month into my course i broke* my ankle and couldnt get to the classroom lessons were held in. maybe... maybe #i should ALSO take duolingo latin on the side. for fun! a fun relaxing hobby #*(at that time we thought id broken my ankle but it was later discovered something much weirder had happened and maybe it never was broken?

Barbarus - Chapter 4 - The Altar - Snippet

Can’t believe this chapter is actually coming together…

Circuravi uxorem tuum tibi.

The words were on the tip of her tongue. Cir-, Galadriel had trouble concentrating now that she was in Halbrand’s orbit once more. Vanilla. Musk. Cedar. He was grinning happily like a cat made lazy by the sun, doing little to school his face into that of detached propriety. She glared at him. Circurare?

“To domesticate?” Galadriel asked, thinking of another suitable word for that old term in English. Halbrand’s suggestive eyebrow raise indicated that he had already figured out the meaning but was waiting for her to come aboard. She hated that eyebrow raise. “To tame?”

“Mmmhmmm,” Halbrand stepped into her space imperceptively closer. “I thought I recognized the word. Could you help me with the conjugation, please?” He batted his eyelashes innocently, as he thoughtfully added, “Is it something about someone’s wife?”

He was full of shit with that innocence.
