if i were to refer to myself as a moron "I am a moron" way in Latin. How would I say it ? I saw u post abt the language and immediately decided to bother u abt it -Dude, probably messing up their just painted nails by typing on a keyboard
ghmg really the only thing i can say in latin without a dictionary is "i want to die"; "Volo mori", cuz I was going through An Era when i tried to learn Latin for the first time,,
i looked up some words, and I think "asininus" and "desipiens" both would convey "moron". 'desipiens' seems to have been used less frequently, so I'd probably use 'asininus' to convey the tone of "basic insult" that 'moron' carries.
so it'd probably be "Sum asininus."
Latin is similar to finnish in the way that you dont have to always include the subject, because the case of the verb will imply it e.g: "olen pässi" instead of "minä olen pässi"
so while "Ego sum asininus." wouldnt be wrong, if you want to shorten it to "Sum asininus." then thats not wrong either.
not hundred percent sure that's the verb you'd use when describing yourself but it gets the point across at least
#i couldnt think of a good finnish word for moron jdjggf#learning latin makes me sympathetic to every non-native speaker who learns finnish..#im sorry there are so many god damns endings and situational alterations to words..#for some reason we love to just have one Big Word instead of a few smaller ones#language#who'd have believed you'd come along?
