kasper Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Per se you say ... just ask autocorrect 😁 Im paenitet, sed mortuus linguarum modern vita opiniones illae haud desinunt. And yes, only half of that came from my rather poor education in latin - bare minimum required to be a solicitor - and the rest from google translate Edited February 18, 2021 by kasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 2 hours ago, tillmanr said: Rather et tu Brute. I'm sorry, but a dead language modern life are not compatible is the translation of "Im paenitet, sed mortuus linguarum modern vita opiniones illae haud desinunt" The word "et", meaning "and" should have been placed between "linguarum" and "modern" . I was simply paraphrasing Caesar's dying words from Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar in the vain attempt at humour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASCA: Ay, he spoke Greek. CASSIUS: To what effect? CASCA: Nay, an I tell you that, I'll ne'er look you i' the face again: but those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but, for mine own part, it was Greek to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It means that she was COVID-positive when she took the bus to work, and now there's a lot of world-wide contact tracing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
