Things It’s Best to Say in Latin


The famous saying of Latin is suitable for being carved into stone.
They are refined with words, but they are profound;
And it is the grammatical structure of many tortuous changes,
When Latin expresses the same meaning, the word is much less than other languages ​​(English).
Here are some famous Latin quotes that are well known to women and children.
(Latin) Veni, Vidi, Vici, I came, see no, I won.
This sentence is a good news that Caesar wrote to the Roman Senate;
In 47 BC, Caesar defeated King Ben Farnak II in the Battle of Zela.
It is also the most refined name in Latin.
In English expression, the word is twice as much as Latin;
And it looks a lot different in appearance:
Start with “V” in Latin and end with “I”.
(Latin) Requiescat In Pace: RIP The deceased has been paralyzed, the living is like this.
This sentence is also a very famous comparison:
Compared to the corresponding English expression, Latin is not concise and rare.
But it is worth noting that Latin is more solemn.
The honorific words have a bit of Baroque taste, but they are somewhat ostentatious.
Strictly speaking, Latin is more succinct than English to express deeper connotations.
“Requiescat” is a subjunctive in Latin.
Expressing a very sincere blessing: May the dead rest in peace;
Not an order.
(Latin) Carpe Diem. Live in the moment.
The name comes from Horace’s first Latin poetry, The Acura. (Horace: Odes 1.11)
It may also be the most famous one when labeling Latin;
And compared to other places, many hotel and bar signs are affected.
Why is it so memorable? Why is it more effective to use Latin instead?
First of all, the sentence is consistent with the simplicity of the Latin classic.
The phoneme is just enough to express the meaning of the word completely.
From a philosophical point of view, it is hedonistic.
Of course, this sentence still has the solemnity of Latin, especially the second word “Diem”.
Because the Latin ” Dies” is obviously heavier than the English “Day”.
Finally, the sentence has both poetic and subtle poetry.
Similarly, the Latin word “Carpe” is far more meaningful than the English interpretations of “Seize” and “pluck”.
(Latin) Homo Sum:. Humani Nil A Me Alienum Puto being human, no exceptions.
The sentence comes from the funny actress of the Roman Republic, Terence.
He is a speech genius and likes to be simple and clear.
In terms of words, English is half as much as Latin.
Especially in terms of word order, I can’t remember it at all.
The permutation and combination of word order is a major advantage of Latin grammar.
Nouns and adjectives themselves contain meaning expressions;
The verb single use also includes the person, the tense and the modality.
So if you put the verb at the end of the sentence,
In this way, Terence can parallel “homo sum” and “humani nil”.
(Latin) Parturient Montes, Nascetur Ridiculus Mus. Giants on language, dwarf action.
The sentence comes from Horace’s Ars Poetica, which has a profound influence on how to write in later generations.
It is also an interesting example in the history of Latin: People cannot lift themselves up.
Latin plays an important role in communication (like a volcanic eruption, the energy is huge)
But the result is a bit tolerant:
The impact may be insignificant and insignificant.
(Latin) Capax Imperii, Nisi Imperasset. Aspiring, things have come true.
A master has spared no effort to bring simplicity to the Latin, and there are many other languages.
He is the ancient Roman historian Tacitus.
There is also the same period of the Emperor Garba.
The epitaph of a modern British prime minister used this sentence.
It is a perfect combination of Latin’s grammatical structure and its proper use.
(Latin) Caelum Non Animum Mutant, Qui Trans Mare Currunt. Leopard change its mettle difficult to move.
Another famous quote from Horace: From The Tablet (Epistles 1:11).
It is an unparalleled magical reappearance of Latin grammar.
The words “Caelum” and “Animum” have the suffix “-um”, which fits the grammatical bingue tense.
The two match each other and echo each other: “Caelum” indicates that people can change their environment.
But “Animum” indicates that it is difficult for people to change their mood.
This is a significant difference.
Compared with other languages, Latin is not only talking about it, but actually implementing it into practical action.
The rigorous grammatical structure makes the famous Latin aphorisms as magnificent as architecture;
So far, people have talked about the ancient Roman arena, the Pantheon, and the canal system.
Like other historical sites, it can stand the test of time.
