Christimissa?

I just wanted to ask if Christimissa would be a good latin translation for Christmas? Can you combine words like that? Alexanderr 02:35, 18 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Then what would christmas tree be? I was thinking Arbor Christimissalis, but if Christimissa isn't right then that'd be entirely wrong. Alexanderr 03:11, 18 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Oh well thanks for your help. Alexanderr 03:34, 18 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Gracias

Thank you for the welcome and the translation :-) That's an unusual Babelbox you're using... I took the liberty of fixing the Spanish one, but I'm still not sure if those were real mistakes or you wrote it so on purpose as "examples of a half-forgotten Spanish". I the latter was the case, I apologize already. - Best regards, Ev 02:07, 20 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Croto

Anzitutto ciao e buon Natale. Ti devo tuttavia correggere Crotone non è il capoluogo della Calabria che è Catanzaro o Reggio Calabria ma soltanto il capoluogo della provincia di Crotone. Ciao Massimo--Massimo Macconi 14:05, 24 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Aha! Non ho capito quello che il ha scritto: Croto est urbs 60.517 incolarum in Calabria et caput provincia eiusdem nominis. Ho creduto che "eiusdem nominis" significava "nominis Calabriae". Grazie per tu correzione, e buon Natale a ti. Ciao.--Ioscius ^(disp) 22:24, 24 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Mobile Phone in Latin

Ciao, I've got a question and maybe you're able to help me: What's the latin word for mobile phone?

PS: Buon natale!

written by Iulianus at 25th Decenmber, 2006

I saw your message and found a translation for Funktelefon in {{PONS-Egger}}: radiotelephonium, -ii, n; radiotelephonum. --Rolandus 13:38, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

--Rolandus 13:43, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

At the Conventiculum we say telephonum gestabile. I sometimes abbreviate this to gestabile, but no one else seems to do this, and in fact many people find it confusing, perhaps because that modifier is used with other devices as well, namely with computatrum (laptop), and horologium (watch). --Iustinus 15:06, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

How about using 'gestatorium' (with telephonum or whatever)?----Jondel 04:36, 20 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

Etiam gestationis, telephonum gestationis. --203.160.168.84 08:53, 20 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

I prefer to use "telephonum cellulare", as that literally means "cellular telephone" and it close to the words used in most languages. Another option would be "telephonum mobile". "Radiotelephonum" could be used for walkie talkies or other communication devices that use radio waves. But this word would not be suitable for regular cell phones, as they use microwaves. -Kedemus

A nice distinction! But I worry about this cellulare, since a cellula is in Classical Latin a 'small storeroom or apartment', and in New Latin a 'living cell'. Does Traupman have an opinion? IacobusAmor 00:50, 31 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Tiro

No problem I'll be sure to use Tiro, whenever I write a new article. It's a lot easier to remember than the others thankfully. And also thanks for the compliment. Alexanderr 16:14, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Attack

I just wanted to know what you think would be the better word to use for "attack" in the game of chess? aditus or impetus? Alexanderr 18:16, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

I would definitely favor impetus. I forget exactly what north and hillard say, but I think its impetus, as well.--Ioscius ^(disp) 18:20, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

I aggree. --Iustinus 18:35, 25 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to ask if you'd look over Res Publica Cispadana, and help make a few corrections. I already asked Iustianus however he left, and wasn't able to. Thanks, Alexanderr 04:06, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Miraculous Medal

I just wanted to ask for help with a quick translation. How would you say "miraculous medal" in latin? Numisma Mirabilis? Thanks, Alexanderr 19:09, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

What's the sense or context? phylacterium and encolpium are also good words for medal, depending on the sentence you want...--Ioscius ^(disp) 19:13, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

The context is the Miraculous Medal. Alexanderr 19:14, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

? Alexanderr 19:28, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Ummm, seeing as how it's a catholic symbol, I'm sure there is a preferred Latin term for this. I wouldn't want to suggest something, in this instance. Ask Tbook, or Massimo.--Ioscius ^(disp) 19:37, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Formula:Decennium

Rearranging the text will be easy, but the template as a whole is rather tricky. I have introduced some bugs, see Formula:Decennium. However, I am sure this is fixable, but it might take some time or the help of UV. ;-) Feel free to make your changes. The index of Roman numbers needs some work, too. --Rolandus 13:59, 29 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Chess Notion

Is there a page for descriptive chess notion? Alexanderr 03:59, 3 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Not yet, I don't use it, FIDE doesn't use it, and I only have a couple books that use it. So it isn't terribly high on my to-do list.--Ioscius ^(disp) 04:04, 3 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Ioscius, I created (really borrowed from the German wikipedia) the template {{milesscaccorum}} which looks like Formula:Milesscaccorum. If you want to use it feel free. Alexanderr 03:07, 6 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki localization

Hi, I dumped some of my thoughts onto Usor:UV/MediaWiki l10n/Glossary. Feel free to change this page as you deem appropriate. Greetings, --UV 01:22, 7 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

… and I did a few changes to the MediaWiki namespace tonight. As I was not always totally sure of my translations, I would be grateful if you could take a look at them and correct anything you deem suboptimal. Thanks! --UV 00:57, 15 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

I made an effort to start a discussion on how to get our special page names translated (e. g. the link to our nuper mutata page is Specialis:Recentchanges, where "Recentchanges" is English [well, sort of]). If you have some time, please see the proposal at mw:Special page names and mw:Talk:Special page names/la and comment there. Thanks! --UV 14:50, 28 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Polytonic

Thanks for asking, Josh. Yes, it was copy-and-paste. On this occasion I had written the English Wikipedia article first and then did a Latin version (sometimes it's the other way round!) The template seems regularly used on English Wikipedia -- I never really found out why, I just follow suit -- but it doesn't seem to have the same unpleasant effect on the font that it does on Vicipaedia. You were right to delete it, therefore. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 17:19, 19 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Formula:Capsula

Caro Ioscius,

cercavo - ma non ci riesco - di inserire anche sulla nostra wikipedia la formula cassetto della wiki in italiano che permette di nascondere parte del testo che è visibile solo cliccando espressamente vedi it:Template:Cassetto.

Questa formula permette di nascondere immagini che possono disturbare alcuni utenti vedi ad esempio la voce eiaculatum, dove alexander ha rimosso la foto.

Puoi fare qualcosa? Ciao e grazie--Massimo Macconi 09:28, 20 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

grazie..

anche io ho provato ma non funzionava. Spesso non si capisce perché su un'altra wiki funziona e qui no.--Massimo Macconi 17:23, 20 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Si, spesso provo copiare tavole da :en, et qui non funziona identico... Non lo so...--Ioscius ^(disp) 17:28, 20 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Templates sometimes depend on CSS formatting instructions (usually contained in MediaWiki:common.css) or on JavaScript code (usually in MediaWiki:common.js). If there is need to make a particular template work, please tell me and I will give it a try! Greetings, --UV 18:46, 20 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

e grazie anche..

per avere difeso la prima immagine da me utilizzata. Sai, penso anche io che forse era meglio dare la possibilità di occultarla (vedi it.wiki), ma non capisco comunque certe reazioni. La stessa foto si trova infatti su quasi tutte le altre wiki. In ogni caso la pagina va benissimo anche come è adesso con il diagramma e il testo è stato migliorato. Ciao --Massimo Macconi 23:01, 20 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Islandia et Schalholtia

Would you mind checking the Latin on those two pages? Being new to Latin it's granted that I make mistakes, so I would appreciate it very much. :) Thank you. --BiT 22:31, 24 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Gratiae for your work on Schalholtia and for cleaning up Islandia. But could I ask another thing of you? When one intends to say "A woman WHO does..." how would one translate the who? Qui? Ubi? I have no idea.. --BiT 10:10, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Hólar í Hjaltadal

I was wondering how Hólar í Hjaltadal is latinized. In brevis commentarius de Islandia section 16 it is called "Scripsi Holis Hialtædalensium in Islandia" and in a letter written by... it's written "Human. tuæ studiosus Gudbrandus Thorlacius Episcopus Holensis in Islandia". How is it in the nominative case and how would it decline? --BiT 20:38, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

I thought we even had that article...Halara...ahh, now that it's linked, I guess we don't have it after all.--Ioscius ^(disp) 20:42, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure it's Halara? How do you get the Holensis or Holis form out of that? I honestly have no idea, Holis Hialtædalensium seems to be in the genitive so it's maybe in the third declension? --BiT 20:46, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

I just googled urbs islandiae...--Ioscius ^(disp) 20:47, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

How dare you question Arngrímur Jónsson?! =] Kidding, it also suggests Hola, I think that fits better. Thank you, didn't think of "googlere id".. Googlere? Isn't that a pretty good verb? --BiT 21:02, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

The analysis of the quotes you first gave, BiT, is a bit difficult without some context. BUt on it's own, I guess Arngrimus is saying "I wrote this in Hólar of the Hjaltadalians, Iceland." If this is the case, then the nominative of Holis could be either Holi, Holae or Hola--but some plural of the a- or o- declension. The second one, as in your previous question about Reykjavik, is an adjective, so it doesn't help as much: one can't always guess the exact name of a place from the adjectival form. It's better than nothing, but it's not conclusive evidence. As for googling, I make every excuse to say googlando when I can ;) --Iustinus 21:26, 25 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

LOL-us =] I added it to Hola. --BiT

RE:

Moved it back to original name. This page was moved based on contemporary vernacular usage. You will struggle to find "Scotica" to mean anything but Scottish or Irish Gaelic in Latin. Mr. Tickles 02:08, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Error check..?

I'm sorry to bother you, but is this correct? Sum modo humilis puer ex humile familia? Cheers to you if you figure out where it's from (despite my crummy translation i.e.; I wasn't sure whether to use "modo"- and maybe I should've used genitive of quality?). --BiT 04:39, 31 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

♪ Sum modo pauper paupera domo ♪

♪Est modo pauper, paupera domo,

vitam ex ista suppedita monstro!♪

Thank you, thank you. --Iustinus 04:47, 31 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Very nice =]. I was 'pretty' close.. I get the "sum modo pauper", but where does the "paupera domo" part come from? Maybe I'm wrong but isn't paupera the singular imperative of pauperare- and domo either means "I master" or ablativus and dativus of "domus" meaning house.. So that either means "Oh pitty the house!" or "oh pitty- I master [something]"? Or did I miss something? --BiT 10:35, 31 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

No. Domo is the ablative of domus "house", here in the metonymic sense of "family." Paupera is just an adjective modifying domo (domus, despite its endings, is feminine). --Iustinus 07:49, 2 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

Latin and poetic. You have much to teach us Domine. --BiT 09:10, 2 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

Wikivacation

Dear Josh

As I wrote somewhere on this project, I'm spending some time on la.source to help our handsome Usor:Accurimbono, leaving it.source in good hands (on it. source now we have five admins and a buraeucrat, letting me stroll around the wikirealm in peace, on the other hand Francesco on la.source is all alone).

I'm going to work down there for one-two months, but I noticed that my visits to the RC on la.pedia are increasing... for interwikis and similar features. Well, if you see me correcting some mistypos maybe I'll decide to write something from scratch. See you. - εΔω 07:27, 2 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

At last it happened. From vicifons I jumped here to write a quick Caecilius Statius, and it needs all your attention to wikilinks and lacking categories and interwikilink (shame on me!), but I'm in a hurry and I can't get it cleaned as I wish.... Thanks in advance. - εΔω 12:17, 2 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

...

Ioscius, you seem to miss something. I have made over 1,500 edits. I have created several articles - most of which I believe don't even deal with the Church. For example I don't remember making one cardinal page. So I'm not here simply to spread my doctrine, and I chose the Latin wikipedia because I'm interested in the Language its self. Please don't pose snide questions. And I'm Catholic. I believe that scripture, both written and sacred are inspired by the Holy Spirit and free from error. This doesn't mean that I can't believe in evolution, so again don't be snide. And as to what scares me about sex. Nothing. I'm not scared of sex. I don't think it is evil. But I do think that displaying images such as that on eiaculatum are immoral, especially considering the abuse of someone's sexual faculties that must have happend in order to take that picture. What must have been done there is a mortal sin (or at least a grave matter). And the picture on the Actus Sexuales page isn't much better. Again. I am not against sex.

Aequatio quadratica.--Ioscius ^(disp) 22:48, 21 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

What I meant to ask was how would it be read aloud in Latin. How do you say "negative bee plus or minus the square root of bee squared minus four a cee divided by two a" in Latin?

Well, we'd really have to do some research in the renaissance mathematicians to know for sure, but my guess would be: "be negativum plus minusve radice be quadrati minus quattuor a ce divisa per duo"... or something like that. Very complex! --Iustinus 03:01, 24 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

The main things I have trouble with are:

The gender of variables, you assuemd they are neuter.

How to espress operations such as plus, minus, the square root of, divided by, et cetera.

Well, yeah, I was just guessing on the gender of variables. I guess masculine might make more sense, since they are numeri. Or perhaps better yet feminine, since they are quantitates... as I said, we would really need to look these things up.

Some basic operations:

• + and - are plus and minus, of course. The tricky part is: what case to they take? I had been assuming one in the ablative and one in the nominative (or whatever the sentence calls for): ablative of comparison, since we are literally saying "X more than Y." BUt now that I think of it, I wonder if maybe they shoul both be in the ablative, because of the abl. of degree: "more than x, by a quantity of y" (cf. paulo minus "a bit less")
• For ±, note that in Latin one may perfectly well say plus minusve, plus minus, and various similar expressions, exactly where we might say "more or less" in English. So presumably likewise for the ± operator.
• For X*Y, one puts one of the numbers (say x) in the "adverbial" form, and the other (say y) in either the "distributive" or "cardinal" form (the former apparently being considered better). This 2x2 translates to "bis bina" (or "bis uo")
• For X/Y, I think you just do some form of the verb dividere with per, but I'm not sure.
• Raising a number to a power seems to be one only with those quadrilateral metaphores, e.g. ^2 = quadratum + gen, or nom + quadratus/a/um, likewise ^3 = cubus + gen, or presumably nom + cubatus/a/um. For higher powers, the authors I've seen resort to quadrato-quadratum, cubo-quadratum and so on (see Petrus de Fermat for a great example). But I have no doubt we could find an equivalent of "to the Nth power" somewhere.
• For square root I have always seen radix + gen. I don't know how to do higher roots.

I suppose maybe we should start a page of citations for this kind of thing so that we'll know in the future. --Iustinus 23:00, 24 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

accusativus vs. ablativus

Again, thanks for correcting my most stupid mistakes … --UV 23:36, 21 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

Nah, that's a tricky one. Sub can take both accusative and ablative.--Ioscius ^(disp) 23:59, 21 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

I should know, this is exactly the same in German where in and unter (sub), among other prepositions, can also reign two different cases (in German: dative and accusative) depending on the meaning … Disputatio:SIDSPACE ;-) --UV 00:17, 22 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki linking in articles

Hi! Is linking to other wikis directly in articles endorsed in Latin Wikipedia? It’s not advised in Hungarian Wiki, that’s why I’m asking. After all, other wikis are already linked under “linguis aliis”, and links in articles commonly point to internal pages. cerasus^voca! 14:21, 23 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

I think the Latin wikipedia is unique in that it NECESSARILY has polyglots as its members. And personally, for me, I read both Italiano and Nnapulitano, so to have links to the respective articles in the lemma is useful and enjoyable for me. This practice has varied degrees of acceptability here. No one is against it, as far as I know, and many people do indeed follow a similar fashion. I know there are interwiki links on the left, but it seems to me the most important languages should be linked in the lemma (always in italics, as this (plus the different shade of blue) lets the reader know "this is abnormal").--Ioscius ^(disp) 14:37, 23 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

I see. On the image description: I don’t think UTC of when a photo was taken is relevant here, especially if there’s a two-hour difference. Local time tells a lot more, if we want to be this precise. Why did you revert it? cerasus^voca! 14:47, 23 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

Respondi!--ST

G/Caius

Sorry for switching to English, I don't have much time left at this computer and I just wanted to get my thoughts out more quickly. Never have I ever heard of the Roman praenomen "Caius," and most (I believe) write it thus instead of the correct "Gaius" because of confusion w/ its abbreviation, "C." (not G.!), which, like many antiquities of Roman social practice, was held over from the archaic period, a time before Latin had a letter "G." You see the same thing with the name "Gnaeus," which has the abbreviation "Cn." (and not Gn.) It's a bugger of a confusing thing, but as far as I know, I know it to be correct. I'm afraid the only evidence I can offer on this matter is a stern lecture from a former Latin professor, who vituperated a student who had written "Caius." Bene vale!--Sempronius Tyro 22:17, 13 Martii 2007 (UTC)

In my experience too, it should be Gaius. I've just searched for Caius—and by golly, there are quite a few of them. Many appear to be in quotations from a Latin book published in 1779, but then they should be billed as quotations, not with a note at the bottom saying they "incorporate" text from that source. So what are they, exactly? Quotations or not? And were they copied correctly? IacobusAmor 23:44, 13 Martii 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why Lhomond (If that's the 1779 work you're refering to) chose to use Caius instead of Gaius--maybe he just wanted to sound archaic. It seems to be his preference; in the e-texts I've found always 'Caius.' I've noticied in some of the 'Caius' articles the use of the forbidden letter 'j' as well. Si vobis placet, I'd like to go ahead to fix the aberrant articles.--Sempronius Tyro 02:17, 14 Martii 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that--It would seem that the articles are just copy&pasted from Lhomond with litte/no editing.--Sempronius Tyro 02:21, 14 Martii 2007 (UTC)

I know it is a bit late but look at this: 'Latin spelling and pronunciation', by the second bullet. His name was in fact Gaius. --BiT 23:14, 27 Martii 2007 (UTC)

That is very interesting. I think I am going to use ideae because it is in reference to ideas of the Platonic sort, in Immanuel Kant who imports the Greek word and goes on at length about the horrible dilution of the word to mean simply any old "concept".

Katipunan, accusative

Would you know why fundatus was changed to fundatum: (Katipunan erat sodalicium arcanus fundatum ab Bonifacio)? Does fundatum reflect that it is a direct object of Bonifacio? --Jondel 12:38, 28 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

It's not a direct object of the prepositional phrase ab Bonifacio: it's neuter because the writer assumes Katipunan to be neuter. Katipunan erat sodalicium arcanus [!] fundatum ab Bonifacio Anglice est "The secret society Katipunan had been founded by Boniface." Since sodalicium is neuter, the phrase should be sodalicium arcanum. And though my dictionary says sodalicium basically means 'fellowship, banqueting-club', Cicero used it to mean 'an unlawful secret society' (so maybe arcanum isn't needed, but it clarifies the idea). The present word order may confuse beginners. If you meant to say "Katipunan was a secret society founded by Boniface," you needed a clause like quod Bonifacius fundavit. IacobusAmor 13:17, 28 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

This is very very enlightening, thanks! So fundatum is meant to be neuter and not what appears to be accusative! I didn't get to that part of neuter agreement. This has cleared up a lot of confusion.I use the online notre dame-whitaker dictionary. You are right, arcanum is repetitive but really we are too oriented with modern language where arcanum might be associated with arcane (ancient). When writing I worry that the false-friend association will confuse.--Jondel 05:12, 29 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

I'll add the clause.--Jondel 05:15, 29 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

Re: "arcanum is repetitive but really we are too oriented with modern language where arcanum might be associated with arcane (ancient)." In English, arcane doesn't mean 'ancient': its basic sense is 'secret' (hidden from general knowledge). Likewise with arcano in Spanish. Some secrets may be old, but oldness isn't necessarily a connotation of 'arcane'. IacobusAmor 13:39, 29 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

Question

1) In my pagina usoris you corrected :"Dixerit/dicat quis me tironem esse" into "Dico quis me tironem esse" . I wanted to say:"Somebody would say the I am beginner." Could you explain why you corrected what I wrote.

He can answer for himself (whoever he is), but 'Somebody might say that I am a beginner' might be glossed as Licet alicui dicere me esse tironem. IacobusAmor 14:16, 13 Maii 2007 (UTC)

2) You corrected : "Disco linguam latinam duos annos." into "Discebam linguam Latinam duos annos". I wanted to say that I am still learning latin and not that I learned latin and now I do not . Could you explain why you corrected what I wrote.

I don't see anything wrong with "Linguam Latinam duos iam annos disco." IacobusAmor 15:30, 13 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Comment on why I wasnt sure whether to use disco latine or disco linguam latinam.its because I read in translator's guide that it is said "latine scio" when you want to say:"I know latin"

Would you allow me to add a note here, Ioshe? Latine is an adverb meaning "in Latin". Latine scio happens to be OK because, literally, it means "I know how to [do it, say it, understand it, read it] in Latin". But disco Latine literally means "I am learning in Latin", which means something different from what you want. You need a noun as object of disco: so "linguam Latinam" is the noun phrase you need. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 18:54, 13 Maii 2007 (UTC)

1. Now that I see what you mean, you need imperfect subjunctive. This is half of a present contrary to fact conditional "(if one were to describe me), he would say I'm a tiro." Imperfect subjunctive in both. And then when need an ali (we don't have si, nisi, num, or ne (although I guess we have a si from the preceeding imagined clause)). So probably diceret aliquis me tironem esse."

2. "Disco linguam latinam duos annos." into "Discebam linguam Latinam duos annos". The first one says "I learn Latin two years" the second one says "I have been learning Latin two years". The imperfect denotes a continuous action, only the perfect would indiate you learned it before (but then we would need ablative of time when, not accusative of duration). I changed latinam to Latinam because that is our custom here (all ethno and religionyms are capitalized here).

Statements about duration in the English perfect tense are usually expressed in Latin in the present tense, so Disco linguam Latinam duos annos should be OK. IacobusAmor 15:30, 13 Maii 2007 (UTC)

1.In sentance:"diceret aliquis me tironem esse." you used what is in my language called unreal conditional clause and it is used when both conditional clause and main clause are unreal i.e. they are not happening(e.g. Si tacuisses,philisophus mansisses). I probably didnt translated correctly what I wanted to say. Why couldnt I used (I dont know how to say this in english) potential conditional clause (e.g. Si sciveris, laudaberis.) in which both main clause and conditional clause are possible. And I used quis instead of aliquis because I saw sentance:"Haec non est vita vera, dixerit quis."

2.doesnt imperfect denote a continuous action which has ended in the past? Why would we use ablative of time instead of accusative of duration in a sentance where a verb is in perfect? Isnt accusative of duration used when you want to say how long you have been doing something,e.g. "Decem horas apud te fui",and ablative of time when you want to say when did you do something(e.g. Mane apud te fui.)

Thank you for explaining. And I apologise if I have been bothering you too much. Zagrabiensis 13:31, 13 Maii 2007 (UTC)

De natura deorum; Seneca minor Epistulae morales 88.44.2; Valerius Maximus Facta et dicta mirabilia 3.3.2.1; Historia Augusta 3.5.2-3), "Eleaticus" numquam. Ceterum, alibi Cicero nos docet quo respectu "Eleates" et "Eleaticus" inter se differunt. In Lucullo suo (129.10-14) scribit:

"... princeps Xenophanes, quem modo nominavi, deinde eum secuti Parmenides et Zeno <....> (itaque ab is

Eleatici philosophi nominabantur), post Euclides Socratis discipulus Megareus, a quo idem illi Megarici dicti, ..."

Cognomina "Eleates" et "Megareus" spectant ad loca natalia Zenonis et Euclidis, quorum ille Eleae, Megaris hic natus est. Adiectiva tamen "Eleaticus" et "Megaricus" spectant ad originem sectarum eorum, quarum altera a Parmenide Eleata, altera ab Euclide Megareo condita est. Hac ratione non tantum Parmenides et Zeno Eleatae, sed etiam Melissus Samius, illorum discipulus, "Eleatici" nominandi sunt. E contrario Leucippus "Eleates" (si verum est), non tamen "Eleaticus" fuit. Ergo "emendationes" tuas in pagina Infinitatis annulla, precor. Fac valeas, --Fabullus 17:33, 15 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Et Thesaurus Linguae Graecae et WorldCat eum Eleaticum cognominant. Item, nonnullis operibus Latinis Novae Aetatis ita datur nomen. E.g.:

• 1825 Christiani Ludovici Gerling De Zenonis Eleatici paralogismis motum spectantibus dissertatio
• 1884 Caroli Dunan Zenonis Eleatici argumenta

Et ut iam scis "Zeno Eleaticus" compluries apud Googlen invenitur.

His autem dictis, qui usque adhuc epitheton quod est "Eleaticus" controverterunt numquam bona indicia attulerunt, e.g. Porcarius scripsit Zenonem Eleum quod plane falsum est. Tu autem locutiones Ciceronianas affers, et figura quae est Zeno Eleates paulo plura hits habet quam Zeno Eleaticus. Ergo per me licet nomen mutare, dumtaxat et Zeno Eleaticus permittetur. Valeas. --Iustinus 19:44, 15 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Verbum Eleates mihi Graecum videtur, et Eleaticus Latinum. IacobusAmor 20:46, 15 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Ciceroni Senecaeque diffidis? Utrumque est Graecum (Ἐλεάτης et Ἐλεατικός), utrumque utitur pro Latino. --Fabullus 21:15, 15 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Sed vide differentiam: Graecum -ικός et Latinum -icus replicant Proto-Indo-Europaeanum *-(i)ko- (unde Proto-Germanicum *-iga-, Anglicum Vetus -ig, Anglicum Modernum -y), et -icus est suffixum Latinum authenticum; -tes nihilominus non. Fortasse optimum paginae exordium sit: "Zeno Eleates, sive Zeno Eleaticus. . . ." IacobusAmor 00:05, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Hem, equidem ambo adhibentur (uti enim est verbum deponens!). Iacobe, suffixum non esse Latino sermoni patrium, non in se argumentum est, nam et locus et homo sunt Graeci! Loca Graeca et Orientalia saepissime figura graeca integra Latinitati dantur. --Iustinus 00:35, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Feh! But what about the other Zenos—Zeno Citieus, Zeno Tarsius, Zeno Sidonius? They were Greeks too. So why are we using their Latin names instead of their Greek names? IacobusAmor 01:01, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Um... Iacobus, the only one of thos that isn't exactly parallel with the Greek name is Tarsius (Gk. Ζήνων ὁ Ταρσεύς). And I'm not saying that Latin HAS to borrow adjectives from Greek, just that it frequently DOES, and there's nothing odd about a gentilic adjective from the Greek or Hellenistic world having a graecanic suffix that doesn't occur in native Latin words. It's quite common really. --Iustinus 01:49, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Hmf. That's not news at my desk. I was thinking that the forms of the Greek words, if they'd been used by a Latin-speaker and written in the Roman alphabet, would have been Citieos and Sidonios, not Citieus and Sidonius. That's the distinction I was making between their Greek names and their Latin names. (I might not have gotten Citieos right for the Greek, but you get my drift.) IacobusAmor 03:12, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Amici, hac nostra disputatiuncula valde gavisus sum! Et, Iustine, gratias ago tibi ob subtilem reprehensionem meae abusionis verbi "uti", quam commisisse me valde paenitet. ;-( Fabullus 21:05, 18 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Discipulus amicus

Why?? Is using a v instead of a lowercase u something bad??? I mean the the Romans did that too, i.e. S.P.Q.R. - Senatvs Popvlvsqve Romanvs. If You go to Rome you see it just like that...Marcus Venetivs 18:37, 15 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Discipulus amicus

Ok! I do understand what You mean... I wont use the v instead of the u in any articles and stuff. But I can still use it in my ID, right? :))) Well thanks, for making me aware of that potential mistake. Hope there aren't any other mistakes in my description...Marcus Venetivs 11:59, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Salve Ioscius. Thanx for correcting my grammar on my user page. (Salvete omnes):} ممتاز 21:04, 18 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Alicia

No, I just got Alicia in Terra Mirabili from the library, and they don't have the sequel in Latin.

Cum lacrimis in oculis plurimas gratias tibi ago ob praemium, quod fortasse mereor. Honorabo et protegebo hoc praemium sicut Historiam Hipaniae. =] --Xaverius 08:25, 22 Maii 2007 (UTC)

Declinatio "asteroidae" sive "asteroidis"

Scire velim, amabo, quae sit opinio tua de declinatione vocabuli “asteroides”. Vide et commentare, sis, quod scripsi hac de re in pagina Disputatio:Asteroides#Declination. Vale, --Fabullus 15:23, 22 Maii 2007 (UTC)

grazie...

per la correzione di glacies. Quando puoi dà sempre un'occhiata a quello che scrivo perché il mio latino è molto povero. Ciao e buona domenica--Massimo Macconi 05:34, 26 Maii 2007 (UTC)

N.B Avevo letto il messaggio di accoglienza in italiano mi sembrava molto gentile, non capisco la reazione di quella nuova utente che ti aveva aggredito.
