Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I did Higher Latin a hundred years ago so have forgotten almost all of it . Puella is "girl", I remember that much . "In pictura est puella. Puella est Flavia" - why I have remembered the first line of Ecce Romani Book One" I have no idea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Well, I think (tries to recall O level latin taken 30-odd years ago) the word tabernus should be in the genetive case so you don't have the english "of", and puella needs to be plural, so I make it puellae alo nemus taberni but I am not sure of the correct word order and I wonder if cherry tree also needs to be genetive?

quickcluck Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 You lot are great! How come so many of you did Latin??? I didn't know it was going to be so difficult to do, but thought it would look more querky than English! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 How come so many of you did Latin??? I did Latin "O" level - only language I did - nice and logical. I went to a Convent Grammar School (not catholic but they had to take 11+ passers who were non-catholic if they had spare places as they got a grant) I can even remember some of the Latin hymns and Christmas Carols we had to sing !!

Jules. Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I wish I could have learned Latin- it wasn't taught at my school. Alexander has a choice next school year of learning Latin or German, I really want him to learn Latin but he doesn't want to No point forcing him.

Leicester_H Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 No point forcing him. No but could you persuade him - I found it taugh me more ENGLISH grammar than English Language "O" level did - also it teaches structure, origins of words etc. It IS surprisingly useful Then become a scientist and learnt the Greek alphabet - just through normal scientific usage - this is very useful on Greek holidays, simply becuause it enables me (often) to pronouce the words - many of which can then be guessed eg. a chemist is a Pharmacy - if you can read the letters, you get something like Pharmakia - and its all 'clear' H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 We had a scary Latin teacher at school (tiny and ancient but still scary ). She insisted everyone did O grade Latin and those who were half decent all went on to do Higher as well. I'm certain it helped me with learning languages and possibly with my spelling and grammar too. *checks it all makes sense and is spelt correctly * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Some of these replies remind me of the great scene in Life of Brian where John Cleese is the Roman Centurion correcting Brian's grafitti (sp??) for "Romans Go Home!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Not sure if I should post this here (I may have to moderate myself ) but when we were translating the Aeneid (happy memories) the only line that stuck in my mind (to this day!) was translated as "Aeneus rose up and brandished his huge tree like weapon". Oh, how we laughed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Sorry I can't help just wanted to say it's going to make a lovely plaque We just have the Omlet, 'Beware of the Chickens' sign I have realised after getting them though I should have bought 'Beware of the Hen poo' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Chicks of Cherry Tree Cottage or Girls of Cherry Tree Cottage so far i've got puella/pullus of alo nemus tabernus I spoke to the Latin teacher today before Maths, as you do I forgot to write it down but: 'pulli' is Chicken and 'casa' is cottage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm so envious of all of you Latinites ... my school didn't do Latin, and I've always wanted to learn. I've even got a 'Teach Yourself Latin' DVD, which needless to say has never yet been played. One day, one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
