Everybody loves to talk about Marce Tulli on here but where's the love for his other, less known, brothers: Marce Fero, Marce Ferre and Marce Latum?

Don’t hide, I can see you. I can see you right through your eyes and I swear I haven’t seen someone as beautiful and gorgeous as you are. I love you with all your scars and the wounds that are still healing. I love you for all the things that you talk to me about and things that you have kept secret till now. I appreciate you, I love you, I accept you, I embrace you, I thank you, and ask for your forgiveness for any hurt I have ever caused. Everyone think we look for love when we are lowest just to distract us and I don’t think it’s false. The entire idea of being in love is to look at our worst and still choose us. And I AM CHOOSING YOU. I want you to know that no matter how messed up you are, how chaotic our lives are, we both are worthy of love. So let me love you anyway, in a way that nobody has ever loved you. I rather be your home, your safe place or your escape from the world than just your’lover’ #romanticism #literature #lingualatina #bookstagram #booklover #classicliterature #writing #writerscommunity #darkacademia #darkestacademia #darkacademiapoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_KN5VsNcc/?igshid=kv695aqr0wtq

Primum vivere et deinde philosophari.

Fascinating video on what Latin (I assume this means Classical Latin) would have sounded like.

Found these Latin flash cards from years ago ... and they feel strangely relevant right now... #lingualatina https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nSaU1HdIY/?igshid=wjx0z7xh89b9

It’s wild to see such good embroidery in Latin manuscripts. It fucks with my ideas of what gender norms were for those time periods and that is cool.

Se tenía que decir y se dijo

[llesbianfarmer]

it’s so weird as a high school kid who really loves latin and the classics to realize that so many of the classics related blogs I follow are latin teachers. like teachers.. on tumblr...

[attemptinglatin]

So let me get this right: The word "condere" means to put together. And also to found. And also to recover and to cover? And also to bury a dead person???

Latin Case Endings

In Latin, nouns and adjectives have special case endings to show the job they do in the sentence.

The subject, which is doing the action, is in the Nominative Case.

In the feminine form, nominative words end in -a (singular) or -ae (plural)

In the masculine form, these words end in -us (singular) or -i (plural)

An example of this would be:

Puella

The girl

The object, which suffers the action of the subject, is in the Accusative Case.

In the feminine form, accusative words end in -am (singular) or -as (plural)

In the masculine form, these words end in -um (singular) or -os (plural)

Another example:

Puellam amat

He loves the girl

Using the nominative and accusative together, we can form sentences like

Puella pueros amat

The girl loves boys

Order Of Translation:

Nominative - Verb - Accusative

PS

When translating Latin to English, never translate the adjective before the verb, and if there's no subject in the sentence, go straight to the verb. (Seen in sentences like casam videmus, we see the house.)

- The great weasels full of the thirst of blood whose nostrils could follow a trail after moons through running water. I tried. Forgive me for only attempting this one sentence, but I am not confident enough to try my hand at the entirety of the Silm or TFoG just yet. 😅

someone really should translate the Silmarillion into Latin...for many reasons but I'm just going to say see any @catilinas silm post or catilinas silm interaction on this tumblr and elsewhere

There is a Latin Hobbit but not a Silm one that I could find (??) and this just isn't right 😔

TFoG too because someone should figure out how to translate "great weasels full of the thirst of blood whose nostrils could take scent moons old through running water."
