Multi gratias nam vester ... ummm reviews? Anyway, to answer some questiones. Sum in latin una. sed amo latina! Ita non scio multi verba. :( I wanted to write a historically accurate latin fic but I don't have the vocabulary needed to undertake such a task...yet. :)
I am sorry about any mistakes made. If you point them out I'll fix them immediately. I didn't know perfect tense when I wrote this so I skipped ahead in ECCE ROMANI I ( the awesome textbook ). ECCE ROMANI est causa potestis legere hic.
Germania convocavit patriae. " Someone better tell me what he is saying und why he is doing so!"
"Salvete omines!" Italia clamavit.
"I don't know maybe it's spanish or something?" inquit America.
"iNo lo es!" Hispania clamavit
"Why don't you ask His brother?" rogavit Confoederatio Helvetica quod erat iratus
Brevi tempore, invenerunt Romanem.
"What the hell do you want! Ya Jerks!" Excalamvit Romano.
"Salve frater! Quid agis!" Italia rogavit.
"What the hell did you do to him, you potato bastard!" Clamavit Romano.
"Nihil." lacrimavit Italia " Sum bene!"
"Estis fatue!" clamavit Romano.
"Wait you can tell what he's saying!" Rogavit Germanicus.
"Of course I can! Where do you think Rome is? Where do you think the Vatican is! Of course I speak latin!"
"Then get him to explain what is going on." inquit Germania.
Romano gemiuit et rogavit "Quid de illo?"
"Cecidi in fossam!"
"He fell into a ditch."
"THEN WHY IS HE SPEAKING IN LATIN!" Germania exclamavit.
Romano clamavit "Non scio! Ya Jerk!"
"Quod volo!" inquit Italia, quod est laetus vir.
ITA! Romano est hīc! Bervī fabula dē Romano. In ludo, invenviebamus errores et Migistra inquit, " Yes, in the sentance; Cornelia est puella Romano, we need to change Romano to Romana because in this case Romano is feminine." Temptavi strenua noli ridere!
Latin lesson (because many people don't know latin)
if you want the whole translation PM or Review me!
1. Confoederatio Helvetica - is the latin name for Switzerland, even though Switzerland was founded long after the fall of the Roman Empire, the country has a official name in because he has 4 official languages.
The other countries should be easy to recognize, but just so that you know, the different endings sometimes found at the end of the names ex: Romano , Romanem is to show different usage of the nouns. It latin there are 5 cases normally used. (I lie I think there are 7 one being vocative which is only used when speaking directly to someone, and that only changes if you have a second decletion noun that ends in -us, in vocative it's changed to a -e; so Marcus becomes Marce. I don't know the other case, since I'm in latin II)
Basic pronunciation
c's are always pronounced as hard c's
v's are w's
Vocab!
Fossa, fossae, f. Ditch a joke form ECCE ROMANI is the ditch of doom! because they are in that ditch for about 18 chapters untill they spontaniously apear in Rome. Every time we have to write sentences the majority of them are about Sextus (cuz no one likes sextus ) Falling into a ditch.
