Oh, how learned you are! *bows down before the mighty intellect*

sed ego quoque narro latin. igitur ascendo tuum. :cool:Mrs. Cadvan, I never claimed to be learned, nor should I. What mighty intellect? For all I know, I could be the least knowledgeable/well-read person in my form. I also have a tendency to break out into random pieces of Latin when extremely irritated, for example, when my form teacher asked, teasing, if I was late for registration one afternoon because I'd been hot-wiring teacher's cars I said 'quid dixisti?'. My Latin in the previous post wasn't actually directed at anyone in particular.

What Latin course do you use, if any (just wondering)? I don't consider myself an expert, because I'm not (I've only been learning Latin for just over a year), but isn't the Latin for the Latin language 'lingua latina'? Also, just a guess here, but shouldn't it be something like 'ad te' (I have no idea whether or not that phrase exists in Latin) or 'tibi' instead of 'tuum', because 'tuum' means 'your' (accusative singular), and so needs a noun?

Feeling confused, :confused:

P.S. Should we just forget this entire conversation and get back on topic?

is ascendo to get up ?
im not to sure on that particular verb.
and also, sed ego quoque narro latin.
should be:
sed quoque ego latin narro.

if the point ur trying to put through is (Therefore i ascendo to you. )
it should be ad te. tibi is mostly used in the dative case

if the point ur trying to put through is (Therefore i ascendo to you. )
it should be ad te. tibi is mostly used in the dative caseThanks for working it out, Nightsorrow. However, shouldn't it be 'linguam latinam narro', as if you check an English-Latin dictionary for 'Latin' it gives it as 'lingua latina'?

I had actually been thinking about my second point as follows roughly "tibi is dative form of tu, and you don't use dative when the 'to' is not in the indirect object context, therefore it can't be tibi. Hmm, do you use accusative or ablative after ad? (gets up and goes over to file on Latin grammar, checks out use of cases & prepostions after cases, finds out that you use accusative after ad and stops panicking about incorrect case of pronoun.). Again, thanks for solving that particular puzzle for me Nightsorrow.

Anyway, back on topic. I liked that equation, evisel. Good hint for Alison. Just a pity it can't yet be proved, either by direct or indirect proof! At present, as far as I can see, it's just a hypothesis! (I MUST stop thinking so much about maths and connecting it to such potentially unrelated things as fiction)

Could someone please translate that whole latin phrase into english!!!! I wanna know what ur talking about.

Anyway, I realy hope somthing goes on between M and C, I predict they are in love and end up saving each other, but I think that Maerad will spend a bit of The Song trying to work out her feelings for Arkan, and spend a bit more time feeling alone and like she has to do everything herself.

Well I'd say M and C "doing" anything is out of the question.

mind on other things... 2 weeks of school till holidays!

Wow, I return almost a week later to find that my garbled little latin phrase has sparked quite a debate! Please keep in mind that I wrote it off the top of my head, and this - added to the insult I felt had been made against my intelligence - can probably explain why it was not entirely gramatically correct The latter phrase is written in what I believe they called 'pig latin.' I don't believe however that it required the use of the dative case...essentially the naughty little meaning was clear to me, which in this case was probably the best thing. ;)
It's funny that we managed to stray so off-topic - especially given that we kind of broke off from a conversation about fan-fiction. And i don't think i made clear to you Dreamer that I'm not chastising you for writing it at all - au contraire! I mean, how could I disagree with someone who brings M&C together!!
I hope we can put our somewhat fraught introduction aside and maybe get back to the topic in hand! :)
