Latin

[luiza]

If you speak Latin then you are not a slave of Putin, slave of Putin.

You do manage to produce an endless stream of nonsense
Zebagofallah.

To what do you mainly attribute your ignorance and foolishness?

An over indulgence of Leberwurst and Sauerkraut probably .

Schlachtplatte mit Blut- und Leberwürst und mit Sauerkraut und Kartoffeln? Delicious. Exactly the right season and weather now for such a Lucullan pleasure in Germany. The potatoes came from our Red Indian friends - and the rest from our Roman ancestors, I guess.

Nevertheless, slave of Putin, do not forget to end your stupid, senseless and criminal war on Europe. Leave the Ukraine with all of your soldiers. Yesterday.

----Nevertheless, lover of Freedom , do not forget to end your stupid, senseless and criminal war on Europe. Leave the Ukraine with all of your soldiers. Yesterday.

Unfortunately we hate US and NATO interest in Trafficking , Drugs , Bio Labs and money laundering .

So we will continue to resore ex Ukraine to sanity, hopefully still able to clear out your Nazi comrades settled in Odessa .
The Fourth Reich may flourish in the US but it will not spread to the borders of Mother Russia .

Signed Goddy .

I will never understand how you Russians are able to watch Putin raping your little mother Russia without to like to kill him. One day you will be thankful to the Ukrainians when they will have won this stupid, senseless and criminal war which Putin began against Europe and the roots of Russia.

Learning a dead language is of limited use.

Hebrew used to be a dead language.

 

[zaangalewa]

I have known many English as a Second Language students who studied Latin to help improve their English. A largely mistaken assumption.

50% of the English language is Latin (and Greek) - the other 50% is German[ic] and the very little rest comes from all other languages of the world. Latin is by the way nearly Celtic and the ancestors of the Germanics had also been Celts.

Hebrew used to be a dead language.

This is probably the only time that a “dead” language has ever come back to life.

...

By the way: What means "Jewish" at all? "Come back to life"?

 

[Unkotare]

People seem to forget that English is from the Germanic language family, and that what has come to English from various romance languages is derived from Vulgar Latin, not the High Latin that is taught in school.

Latin never died. It always had been the language of theology and science. English started to replace it now - what is perhaps a bad choice compared with Greek and Latin. The German Charlesmagne was not able to read and write for example - but he spoke fluently Latin. Indeed we are all also Greeks and Romans otherwise words like culture and civilisation and the use of reason would be far from us ... on the other side. ... ¿Trump and Musk? ... ¿culture?, ¿civilisation?, ¿use of reason?, ¿reality? ... ¿truth? ...

truth
(n.)

Altenglisch triewð (West-Sächsisch), treowð (Mercian) "Glaube, Treue, Loyalität; Wahrhaftigkeit, Qualität des Wahren; Versprechen, Bündnis," von germanischem abstraktem Substantiv *treuwitho, von proto-germanischem treuwaz"habend oder gekennzeichnet durch gute Treue," von PIE *drew-o-, eine suffigierte Form der Wurzel *deru- "fest, solide, standhaft sein." Mit germanischem abstraktem Suffix *-itho (siehe -th (2)).

Bedeutung "etwas, das wahr ist" ist erstmals in der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts belegt. Bedeutung "Genauigkeit, Korrektheit" stammt aus den 1560er Jahren. Englisch und die meisten anderen indogermanischen Sprachen haben kein primäres Verb für "die Wahrheit sprechen", als Kontrast zu lie (v.).

----- Translation ->

Old English triewð (West Saxon), treowð (Mercian) “faith, fidelity, loyalty; truthfulness, quality of being true; promise, covenant,” from Germanic abstract noun *treuwitho, from Proto-Germanic treuwaz “having or characterized by good faithfulness,” from PIE *drew-o-, a suffixed form of the root *deru- “to be firm, solid, steadfast.” With Germanic abstract suffix *-itho (see -th (2)).

Meaning “something that is true” is first attested in the middle of the 14th century. Meaning “accuracy, correctness” dates from the 1560s. English and most other Indo-European languages do not have a primary verb for “to speak the truth”, as a contrast to lie (v.).

Comment to the sentence "English and most other Indo-European languages do not have a primary verb for “to speak the truth”, as a contrast to lie":

Someone who lies is able to speak the truth if the own lie is wrong. What's true and false we are always discussing about. A short time ago I found even out that someone is able to lie when he speaks out what's true. The opposite of "to lie" is indeed "to be honest and to speak honest".

Concrete example how to lie by speaking out a truth: Someone here had a German flag on his car on which was written "Heimatliebe ist kein Verbrechen" = "Love of one's homeland is not a crime". That a true statement but - and this is a big fat BUT ... never anyone said it's a crime to love one's homeland.
