What's your excuse for not learning Latin?

I follow the most popular Roman tradition of all: learning Greek

>>507841870 (OP)
but I did learn Latin.

Greek is better

>>507841870 (OP)
Because the English translations are quite good.

>>507842071
Why? I thought about learning both but decided to start with Latin, seems more beneficial.

>>507841870 (OP)
All Italians who want to get a degree learn latin at age 14-18.
Of course I know Latin, as I do Ancient Greek, which I learned at the same time.

>>507842132
Sine qua non for studying law or medicine here.

>>507841870 (OP)
we do in highschool if you’re smart enough I liked it since you get lots of roman/greek history slop

>>507841870 (OP)
I was just contemplating learning basic latin for fun and then i see your thread now im contemplating taking my meds

>>507842132
>Because the English translations are quite good.
Are you being serious? Pretty shitty reason. Anyway I'm learning logic because I'm interested in grammar, logic and rhetoric. And because it's a richer more complex language than English. And because it was shaped by the greatest thinkers who ever lived. Or maybe that was Greek, I don't know. Anyway I think both Latin and Greek are good to study.

>>507842513
>Pretty shitty reason.
How, retard? If you're talking about reading some gay shit like ancient poetry instead of history then you might have a point, otherwise no.

>>507841870 (OP)
Iam paucis ante annis latinas litteras discere incipi, quoniam me fingere romanum priscum volo. Vale, verbero.
>>507842025
I'm too dumb for Greek.

Spanish is just Hillbilly Latin.

>>507842025

Fpbp. Someone fetch Ammon

>>507843034
All Latin vernaculars are vulgar.

>>507842712
Ancient Greek in some ways is easier than Latin because it's very flexible and fluid, and instead of using obscure words it prefers making up composite words made with prepositions + common words.
Instead of saying "surround" they will say "put-around-against" so if you learn your prepositions + your common verbs (pull, push, go, put, take, and so on) you can translate 90% of the language. The rest is an ocean of "ὡς" which means "that" and is the conjunction they use for everything, and "δέ" which means "on the other hand" and they use in every sentence.

>>507842180
Most latin texts are translations from Ancient Greek. Unless you want to read about Roman laws.

>>507843127
>All Latin vernaculars are vulgar.
Cope, Italian and even French make Spanish/Portuguese sound like ooga booga

>>507841870 (OP)
Same as yours for not learning maori.
>when the fuck would I ever use it?

>>507841870 (OP)
I'm leaning spanish, a latin language that is usable outside of vampiric communities

Ten hobbies I don't do already.

>>507842678
I don't even want to learn Latin to read Latin texts primarily. It's everything around it. The grammar. The richness and complexity. The fact it's one of only a handful so-called "classical languages". The fact it was used by and shaped by the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind. (Again, was that Latin or Greek?) I'm sure learning Latin will expand my mind and help me in my studies of grammar, logic and rhetoric. Speaking English and not wanting to learn Latin is like speaking Pidgin English and not wanting to learn English.

>>507843345
French is the most heterodox Latin vernacular.

Italian [Tuscan] is better. But Sardinian is still the truest to form.

>>507843345
Chadtuguese is the last and more beautiful flower from Latium, though.

>excuse for not learning Latin?
You can read and write it, but two people from different countries can't understand each other in Latin as it's not spoken anymore. Useless.

>>507843179
Interesting, thanks, Itanon. May try to learn it someday.
>and "δέ" which means "on the other hand" and they use in every sentence
I actually knew this one, kek. The Vulgate translates it as autem, and it's so commonly used in the Gospel of Matthew that it almost seems a joke, at least in the Nova Vulgata.

>>507841870 (OP)
>What's your excuse for not learning Latin?
I learned Esperanto instead, 99% of people who read Latin can't actually hold even a basic conversation in it

>>507843390
Why do you need to use the language? There are other reasons to study a language than using it.

>>507843123
That guy is a liar
He said that lestes means pedophile but it just means robber or bandit

>>507844284
He never said pedophile.

>>507841870 (OP)
I did that for 12 years, can I have a break from gerund and pluskvamperfect passive and akusative + infinitive structures.

I already know how to speak Latin, here it's a compulsory subject at school. Stultus mestīcius

>>507842060
>>507842132
Catholic school. My choices were Latin or French, and I stand by my decision.

>>507844537
Stultus mesticio.
Its accusative.

>>507841870 (OP)
Because its a dead language with no new words and no way of accurately and correctly expressing contemporaneous lines of thought,ideas and feelings

>>507842246
Don't lie. I'm a lawyer and it's not necessary to know Latin for that. Yes a few words (iura novit curia, in dubio pro reo, utile per inutile non vitiatur, nulla poena sine lege, etc), but nothing more

>>507844719
>no new words

Latin and Greek have been getting neologisms for centuries now.

Automobile wasnt a Latin or Greek construction.
Nor Television. Nor Telephone. Nor Computer.

>muh conversation
Really that's all you care about? Very simple-minded of you. Sounds like you should just start learning and probably it will expand your mind. I'm starting myself, have just downloaded the book in the OP. You sound like someone who complains that classical music doesn't have bass and rhythm. I was like that as a kid. Then I started listening to classical music and started appreciating it and it expanded my mind, and also I wasn't a kid anymore. Latin is called a classical language for the same reason you have classical music and classical literature, basically means of higher value, more refined, more civilized.

>>507844683
My bad. My Latin is not what it used to be

>>507844312
Yes, yes he did.

>>507844813
"Hablo un poco de Español", Adverbial locutions come before the noun, my good fren

>>507844804
How do you say: "Ive been dying to try out the new kissing technique on my girlfriend but she's too busy trying to understand computer ergonomics,and her college homework does overwhelm her at times" in latin? You cant.

Huh?

Like what?
Aside from satisfaction, if that’s your thing.
Honestly can’t think of one.

Buncha lies. They did a very bad job of spooking him then.

>>507845287
Oh poor him :(

>>507845332
The CIA has an invested interest in spreading Christianity.

Especially the American Evangelical kind.
Why would they shoot themselves in the foot?

It is mandatory in Austria. If you really were a lawyer, you could've done that much research easily before posting, but you're not. You're obviously just a larping fuckwit.

>>507841870 (OP)
I should have done Latin and not French.
In French class, all you have are girls who are protestants and jewish whores.
In Latin class, you get girls who are catholic whores.
But I wanted to learn french because my grandparents were all francophones... by the time I could talk to them, they were all dead.

>>507845216
>context
the context is if you use that word you mean what it means not what some new age interpreter thinks it means because he's trying to defend a jewish pedophile
how about the context of yeheshuah being a rabbi
how about the context of the babylonian talmud and what it says about being a pedophile
how about you fuck off and kill yourself you retarded cunt

>>507841870 (OP)
Because it’s the google translate of shitty languages and it’s already otherwise easily decpherable if you ever really need to read it.

Redpill: it’s a fake codex legalese language that nobody ever actually spoke.

>>507842213
nah, non-lyceum high schools don't teach latin at all.

>>507841870 (OP)
I already had latin 3 years in highschool, no thanks.

The gods love Latin. It is true. It's a divine language.
