[Your Hidden Roman Name]

I haven't understood what I should do to have my hidden roman name...

[Etruscan Culture]

thier language is very interesting. It disappeared, but some words survived in Latin and Italian...

[Etruscan Culture]

Etruscans are very important. We have to study their culture here, that you want it or not ;-)

 

And of course it will help for Roman history, as Gaius P. said ^ ^

[Sparta and Spartans in the Roman Empire]

Welcome!!! ^ ^

["The Da Vinci Code" and Roman Catholicism]

I read the Da Vinci Code. Nice. But everything I can say is that Dan Brown cannot write...

[Your Favourite Roman City]

Ravenna is not really an important Roman city. It rarely be shown on maps in the books (that I own). =w=

And...what's about Milano anyway? Seldom hear this name in Roman history.

 

Ravenna IS an important Roman city!!! Unfortunatly I've never been there, but it's on every school book... Right Honorius, churches ;-)

 

Maybe you hear the name Mediolanum...

[Latin To English Translator?]

(Every semester I make this speech to my students, and every year they don't believe me...until I return their papers full of 'blood'.)

 

Something similar happened last year to a friend of mine with an English to Italian translation... one of the funniest things i've ever heard!

And fortunately nobody has ever dared to do such a stupid thing with Latin in my class. At least, you can use the best student as a human-translator... ^_-

[What Browser Do You Use?]

Always Internet Explorer

[Translation, Please]

nice sentence Silentium! Who did say it?

[How Did Italian Arise?]

di niente, Ludovicus ^ ^

[Fidel Castro (Capitalist Democracy vs Socialism)]

Hey, you're all American here. But... communism doesn't exist in your country. You don't know what you're talking about...have you ever had the choice to vote for a communist party? have you ever listen to what they wanted to do for people? Have you ever met communist politics in the square? I guess you haven't.

But I've done, and I am deeply communist. Without our communist granparents, that fought and died for liberty, my country wouldn't be what it is. We celebrate their memory every year. I know Russians did terrible things, but I also know what Fascists did. I saw the grave of my mother's grandfather - killed in a horrible way because he wanted to say what he though, and I heard my grandparents tell about the war.

Fascism is a big hole of shame in the history of Italy and sometimes I'm ashamed to be Italian thinking about that, do you know? But then, I remember what those people did, and they were communists.

 

You talk about "Capitalism Democracy". Honestly, you should shut up. You shouldn't talk of democracy, not after your dirty wars and games. Everyone knows what you did, and you do.

[How Did Italian Arise?]

eh eh it depends. If your parents do, you do. Of course you study the subjunctive at school with the other tenses when you're 10-11.

My sister is 10 and she can use it, even if she probably don't know and anyway in the written language you must use it or you're going to have really bad marks. LOL

 

It's a shame but many people of my age when they speak they completely ignore the grammar. Well, they perfectly know how to use it, but they don't care. When they write at school they do (I hope).

I can say you I'm 15 and I attend something like your high-school. I use perfectly all the four tenses of the subjunctives (it would be easy, only one), active and passive forms, regular and irregular verbs, in written and spoken language. And this year I studied all the tenses of the latin subjunctive, and at September I'm going to learn the French ones. So, I can say I know the subjunctive in three languages.

It isn't as difficult as it seems...
