@Fred_Ginger: Oh, you are again welcome. I was surprised you accepted the first iteration, but thank you. As for goings on, I've been trying to rein-in the rambunctious zukes. If you review the last couple of pages you will easily catch up.

@Voar Tok: Animated BATs? No, I didn't hear that. Is there a thread on it?

@ Leech10: Tweens are intermediate frames that can be inserted on request by your animation package. Speak to vid if you really want to understand them as he seems to be the most current of us.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

The zukes welcome you to page 92!

*A zuke orders some pies*

[Fred_Ginger 1]

Yes I noticed the zukes. Oh, I finally started reading Bill Clinton's autobiography. What is interesting to me is his childhood (we were born the same year, I'm about 1 month older) and how similar it was to mine (although my father did not abuse Mom as his did his Mother), but how we spent our time mostly outside in the summer - no TV or air conditioning so it was easy to be out and about. Of course I've bairly started the book - this is not going to be an easy read!

*Some new Myonian Zukes begin talking in zukish to each other*

See attached file for translations to see if you can understand them.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

pies appear to suit the zukes. Zukish? You forgot to show how to conjugate the verbs. Are the nouns declined?

Did Mr. Clinton grow up in Arkansas? It would explain some things that always puzzed me about him.

To conjigate the verbs, replace the n on the end with ĭ for ing, ĕ for ed, or ŭ for an s. (carry=amn, carrying=amĭ, carried=amĕ, carries=amŭ

[Fred_Ginger 1]

Yes, he did. Mostly in Hot Springs with his step father (his biological father died before he was born).

conjugate

je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous ons, vous ez, ils/elles ont!

Did I get them right? I cant even remember what

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I think it is French, but I'm not sure.

[vidioman 21]

Its French.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@ Leech10: A noun (adjective, adverb, pariciple) is declined if it has various forms depending on its use. The various positions are called cases. An English example is: who nominative case; whom objective case. These are often expressed through the word having a root + case ending. In Latin there are six cases, but often 12 endings since plurals may have a different ending. Example: puella - girl

• nominative puella - the/a girl
• genitive puellae - of the/a girl (I will omit articles, because Latin doesn't really have them from here on)
• dative puellae - to (the) girl
• accusative (objective) puellam - (the) girl
• vocative puella - O! girl
• ablative puella - (some preposition required) girl

Enough! already. There are also ending for the plural, and there are six declensions (sets of nouns). Note that not all endings are unique, and people will tell you that Latin is an easy language. Latin scholars please correct, if necessary. I haven't done this kind of thing since 1955.

I knew I got it wrong.

I suck at slovenian. Can't remember a thing, other than a less-than-welcomming greeting

Oh, and vreme, and gibanica. But not vreme gibanica, you cant make gibanica out of vreme.

[Eastwinn 6]

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

The nouns stay the same unless they become plural, and you would ad en on the end. Adjectives and adverbs always follow what they modify. Numbers can go before or after, but meaning is different depending on the position.

Examples:

Ebba Cu

Heheh. You got it right. Vocative is direct address; usually, you only get it with names of people, as in Come here, Vid!. Vid would be vocative in that sentence.

As for Latin, it's really not that bad. Composition in Latin is incredibly easy once you know the forms. However, translation is a bit harder, because Latin doesn't have a rigid sentence order like English does. (subject-verb-object)

Our Latin teacher decided that this year, being the first year of Latin literature, we would start off with Cicero's First Catilinarian Speech. Talk about your rude awakening.

Articles: Latin has no real articles. Occasionally, pronouns will be used to fill in for their lack. I don't mind the lack of a definite article (the) but the lack of an indefinite gets annoying sometimes. Latin should've done like most languages, and used the word one as their indefinite.

Oh, and we got a ton of snow overnight here. Screwing up things eveywhere, it is. Several of my teammates got kicked off of the swim team this morning because they got to practice late and forgot to have a parent excuse them....

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

ARD! Later Latin used 'ille' for the definite article. One thing I read somewhere said that the colloquial expression for 'yes' was 'hoc ille' (this that). Latin certainly had no (NON), but I never did learn to say yes in that language until much later.

You are doing first year Latin and the teacher picked 'In Catalinem'. Wow. Tough teacher. We started with Caesar's Gallic Campaigns. Amazing man, Cicero, could put a lot into just 'Quis, Cataline' eh? By the way, that is an example of voative case. Are you doing any Latin poets? Juvenal is a hoot. Be prepared for P. Vergilius Maro though ('Arma virumque cano qui prius ad oris ...') He is really tough going in later cantos of the Aeneid. And enjoy Catulus, he was a real satirist.

Yeah, it seems like Spanish is becoming the next biggest language in America. I think by the year 2075, everybody in America will see Spanish on top, and English translations on the bottom on like a newspaper or something... (I don't really think that )

[Rymac91 15]

personally I bet that we'll have spainish as a second national language eventually...but yeah...spainish is growing here and very rapidly.....at this oe store I go to....when they got a new manager one of the first things they did to increce sales was to include spainish in annoucements and signs...it's really cool hearing them first say something in english then that same person saying it just as fast and well in spainish....kinda funny since I'm learning german anyway. anyway I'll have a Icecream sundae with no nuts,extra whipped cream and 4 scoops of Ice cream.... I would love to create and speak the languages in my Cj...but I only understand Macanian and english which is confusing.I mean there is...

Spoiler(drag your mouse over  the following space):The reason why i don't post much(or even come here as often) is because i slowly lost interest in SC4.And also i feel hated a lot here(the ban does not count).and if you want to know my new interest, go to http://www.visionsfantastic.com , thank you.

 

 

And you can delete my leaving/returning threads now!Oh and since this is a virtual bar & grill, i'd likeone of everything.

[zmveliger 16]

@Eastwinn: Before saying something is boring, you should know a little bit about it... French is the language of love and cooking. It's one of the most poetic language on earth. I'm not used to use this tune but I think that proper actions have to be done regarding such a comment...

 

 

@N_O_Body: ready for tomorrow? It seems that your dream will come a reality!

[ardecila 125]

We learned 'ita vero' as the phrase for yes. The English 'no' can have multiple translations in Latin, for each usage (nullum, nihil, non, minime, etc.)

Yeah, Cicero is really tough. Quo usque abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Next semester, we read Ovid, but in English. We read it for the subject matter, I guess. Next year is Vergil's Aeneid. My teacher doesn't care for Caesar, so he doesn't teach it. Not sure why, though.

For a self-professed old man, you seem to have an excellent memory. Personally, I like the idea that men and women have time, after their careers are over, to seriously sit down and really think about things, for a change.

Ignore that, I am making a new version.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@Voar Tok: Well, because I have French and Latin I got most of it except the last sentence, which was a matter of vocabulary. No habla espaniol. My best Spanish phrase is 'dos cervaces'. (two beers)

@ Micah: Too bad if you have that many Hispanics. Here we are officially bilingual English/French, and half the space on the soup cans is wasted for all of us. However, we get along, as Canadians do, with tolerance. The majority languages in Toronto seem to be Swahili and Cantonese. We have a cultural mosaic in this country, and we revel in it.

@Rymac91: Did you know that your founding fathers nearly chose German as the official language of the excited states. Wouldn't that have been a hoot!?

@ Cjah: Ever been in Canada? I wouldn't take your bet. Besides, you forgot Brasil, which has a lot of people and speaks Portuguese.

@ the_real_simmer_3: We will only say aloha. For the Americans, vaya con dios.

@ zmveliger: How could you believe that anyone who knows anything about French culture could say French is boring. Somewhat long-winded sometimes, but always exciting. For those who have a middle vocabulary and a good dictionary I suggest the short stories of Prosper Merim

Wow, I'll think I'll stick to English and Spanish for now. At least both have proved to be highly useful at school and even at work, where a fair portion of the customers are spanish speaker. A veces, as un poco dificil comprender porque hablan muy r
