Quintus Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can write in Latin, if this had been tried before and failed miserably, forgive me I'm a little... novus. I've just learn Latin, so expect many mistakes. Please point them out. Habeo quaestionem de historia romana ut incipiat hoc: Cur imperium Byzanti duravit tempus longius quam imperium romanum?

Dominus Rex Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I am currently taking latin, and there is no way I'm educated enough to actually hold a discussion in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 O gaudium laetitiaque, res mea venit ab mortuis! Scio id videri frumentosius [comparative of corny- for some reason I couldn't find that word in any of my dictionaries], sed iam laetus sum adventu suo. Cupivi quaerere cur imperium Byzanti viveret per oppugnationes barbaras ubi imperium Romanum moriretur ob barbaros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Inquietus Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Inquietus omnibus recentibus sodalibus in hoc foro s.p.d. Primum, censeo propter locum urbis Byzantii, quae bivium inter Europam Asiamque etiam Africam fuit, facilius Imperium Romanum Orientalis (vel Byzantinum) quam urbs Romae commercium comportationemque mercimonii praesidere, etiam cogere, poterat. Porro, quoniam in medio tres continentes, e multis regionibus nuntia novissima de scientia, artibus, et praesertim technologia belli, Byzantium accepisset ut perdiu non solum bello sed etiam culturale politicoque semper adfines nationes exsuperaret. Praeterea haud scio an, quia Christiano religioni fidelior erat quam illam Occidentalis, quae potius insidiis politicis ac religione pagano permixta est, virtutem fortitudinemque potentiorem, quo barbaros studiose vinceret, gens Imperii Byzantini teneret. Nam in eo tempore quo Roma bonitatem atque honorem suum divitissimo emptori, aut foristan exercitui potentissimo, se vendebat, Byzantium, parens sublimiorem causam, ut Deum, per omnes asperas animo ac fide pristina integraque continebat. At heu, licet autem plurem scribere velim, iamiam tempus me deficit. Fortasse postmodum, et siquidem hoc nuntium responsurum est umquam, amplius hanc disputationem augebimus. Valete!

Callaecus Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Nice thread. I never learned Latin, but since I'm Portuguese I can understand most of what you are saying. Let me select a couple of sentences and put the Portuguese equivalent below for you to compare: Habeo quaestionem de historia romana ut incipiat hoc: Cur imperium Byzanti duravit tempus longius quam imperium romanum?

Traianus Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Lingua Latina non mortua est, I like to think of the romance languages as "modern latin". Indeed, they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
