To be as one appears. Next one..."Amor nummi crescit quantum ipsa pecunia crescit." quote: ORIGINAL: Invictus754 Esse quam videri

quote: ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster Next one..."Amor nummi crescit quantum ipsa pecunia crescit." The more money you have the more you love it. Next: Pecunia non olet.

quote: ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster To be as one appears. Next one..."Amor nummi crescit quantum ipsa pecunia crescit." quote: ORIGINAL: Invictus754 Esse quam videri Amor nummi crescit quantum ipsa pecunia crescit. (Juvenal, Satires 14.139) The love of a coin grows as money itself grows. Esse Quam Videri : to be rather than to seem Note: sentences P/pl. Play nice. pinkee

"To be as one seems," not "to be rather than to seem." Oh, and pecunia non olet means "Money doesn't smell." quote: ORIGINAL: pinkee Esse Quam Videri : to be rather than to seem

quote: ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster "To be as one seems," not "to be rather than to seem." Oh, and pecunia non olet means "Money doesn't smell." quote: ORIGINAL: pinkee Esse Quam Videri : to be rather than to seem That's not what the site i used said. But Your intrepretation makes more sense. Next sentence: "ex ungue leonem" pinkee

Very nice. "(One knows) the lion from his claw."

Ok so i am not playing correctly, but here are several if anyone wants to try. Bene, cum Latine nescias, nolo manus meas in te maculare Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus Tum podem extulit horridulum re fortiter quo nemo ante iit Quae nocent, saepe docent

LaMalinche -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/30/2006 7:04:58 AM)
Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus Never tickle a sleeping dragon Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. Trite, I know.

Correct It is sweet and appropriate to die for one's country

Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem

VandalHeart -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/31/2006 5:45:35 AM)
"Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem." Remember to keep a clear head in difficult times. "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, rex?" (This is pronounced properly while yelling and extending a middle finger) <<<EDITED FOR CORRECTION>>>

VandalHeart -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/31/2006 5:56:36 AM)
And I know this is out of turn, but here it is: Ego sum Deus aerumnosus apparatus

VandalHeart -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/31/2006 7:30:18 AM)
Come on, guys, I like this game, let's keep it going.

pinkee -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/31/2006 7:37:56 AM)
Damn You, Vandal; the only way for me to get this is to pay a translator. i'm gonna have to defer to Lam. pinkee

quote: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, rex? quote: ORIGINAL: VandalHeart "Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem." Remember to keep a clear head in difficult times. "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, rex?" (This is pronounced properly while yelling and extending a middle finger) <<<EDITED FOR CORRECTION>>> This translated isn't really any kind of an insult or anything, so it has to be some kind of a slang reference to something else. Something to do with protecting the king and is anyone doing it.

Dustyn -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/31/2006 9:59:51 AM)
And yes, I know I answered them in reverse order, but I tried spending a little extra time translating the first phrase, but like I said, it kept coming out as gibberish, even with different spellings. Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt - Caesar

pinkee -> RE: The Game of Latin (5/31/2006 10:02:01 AM)
Dustyn, dear, the way the game is played is You translate Your predecessor's latin sentence and state one of Your own. This one should be easy enough: "Ave caesar! Morituri te salutamus." pinkee
