Latin

Same with Slavic languages, in one language it means something, in the other it looks and souns almost the same OR the same, but has a very different meaning

Mandarin's nuts. there are four different 'sounds' for each word, and if it's not your first language-like if you spoke english first, then it's really hard to differentiate between them, and each thing has a different meaning. It's really bad if you go to China because they won't understand you, unless they speak a bit of English, in which case you're better off speaking english anyway. I think I've offended quite a few people..... :)

hmm, I've never had Mandarin nuts. Only Mandarin oranges, yum!

LOL Kik :D:D:D

Deus ex machina

Thanks to Biology, I know there is a language called Latin :)
(call me a simpleton )

and thanks to anatomy, some of my favorite words are medial et lateral malleoli, et cetera...
i Love the rich buttery sounds of latin, but decided to take espanol this semester instead, as it's often necessary for communication with patients.

IWilKikU... No... I didn't say, "I know six random words"

I hope I said, Davus (a male name) is pissed at Sextus (another male name) because the boy is beating the slave.

It comes from a crazy latin book..... Sextus is a boy in a rich family, and Davus is a slave in that family.... anyways.... we had a great amount of Sophomoric (sp?) jokes about Sextus.

Sextus molestus

heh...

It was a year ago... so it is vague... but Molestus is annoying or something like that... but it looks and sounds like Molest us. Ah... ya gotta love high school.

You didn't have to explain the molestus joke to me. Im only 3 years removed from highschool, but my sense of humor is still right around the same level. Remember, I was the guy who liked "Dude, Where's my Car?"

reminds me of Biggus Dickus. Ahhh Monty Python, for those of us who never get past high school humor.

I took 2 years of it in High school, since 2 years of a foreign language is required.

Ibi sunt non deum.

One of the few phrases I remember.

And they call Latin a foreign language? :rolleyes: *sighs*

well Koa, it can be considered a foreign language... as it's not our native one...

I read this sentence in a novel, perhaps someone could tell me what's the meaning of it:
"Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et munct, et semper et in saeculorum. Amen"

I'm guessing that this has something to do with Catholic church or the teaching. I want to know the meaning

"in the name of Father, Son and the Saint Spitit" is the first part, the next I dunno... sowwie ;)

Yea, i figured that the first part was that, no probs Jay, thanks! :)
