Latin Challenge
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 9:09 pm
Okay well I asked Pelirroja and she allowed me to do this. In the Languages thread, I saw that many people really wanted to learn Latin and I thought this wouldbe fun!
Basically I write a paragraph story in Latin and you translate it. After you translate it, you can either continue from the story I wrote or write your own story in Latin. But whatever you write has to be at most 10 sentences or Pelirroja won't allow it. "Ok, in the interest of being educational I'll allow it so long as it is no more than a 10 sentence paragraph translation each time."
Hopefully people will do this, I've always wanted to write a story in Latin!
Oh, and if you want to make it easy, just find an english to latin/latin to english translater online.
Here is my bit:
EGO occumbo styrofoam prandium patella quod ran. EGO ran sicco schola ianua in silva secundum schola. Singultus pro spiritus Cepi sicco meus tractus pad quod charcoal quod coepi duco. Is eram a nemus a vulgus quercus , tamen illic eram quispiam nefas per is. Is wasn't alive. Is eram withering a vita , infirmus of is. Is had tolero venalicium of vita. EGO admiratio ut si nemus could have a mens of it's own would is recordor its' vita quantus quantus vel horrendous , gauisus vel devia fun vel tiresome. Tunc EGO animadverto , EGO wasn't sermo super nemus in tractus , EGO eram sermo super mihi.
It's hard translating because some words in english are not in latin, so just try to figure out what it means when you translate it!
