[SgtL] [GB/Ltn] and repeat after me

thanks for that,now we need to know like some cool latin words we can shout at people,like "I SAID NOW" and "WHY IS THERE NO BISCUIT?"

there's a book for that..called extreme latin...i shall give quotes form it

ok,why didn't you just give some now?don't dilly dally,there is no time!!!

there was an episode in this old series i used to watch, Sliders, when the hero turned to some guys that were chasing after him, said "so long, suckers" in latin and ran away. i cant remeber how in went, but it sounded nice

never did lke that show, nor am i aware of any latin phrasing like that

Ok so here is a challenge can you Sgt l or anyone else come up with an English equivalent of the Sator Square.

SATOR
AREPO
TENET
OPERA
ROTAS

look at it closely or google it.

[strokes fictiotious beard] cunning....cunning

do the words have toi have anything to do with each other?

[hmm Strokes real beard made famous by fiction ;-)]

Ideally a square should make up a kind of coherent sentence and can include a real name but i would be impressed by any combination that is Palindromic sentence vertically and horizontally like Sator Square any way rather than diverge from the Latin that this thread is meant to be about i will set up a new thread called Sator Square challenge http://www.thudgame.com/node/1425 as i was asking for an English version

i tried to make one,is really hard.

ja tis. i reckon a dictioanry of 5 letter words would help

why don't you just go through the whole dictionary and write them out?you seem to have the time

meh, cant be bothered...no doubt someone's already written a filter for it

then go find that and tell us where

meh, perhaps i shall perhaps i shaln't...i think thta's the ifrst time ive ever used that word...ps invented a language last night....it has NO grammar whatsoever...it's worse than english

are you just too lazy for grammar?

how could he have being too lazy to uses grammar?

[quote-SgtL from petition for lang. forum]

the one i just made i shall call "linsipis" it's a mix of "lingua" (language/tongue) and insipida (stupid) since it's soo simple that any idiot can get their heads around it and (more importantly for the asians) it has NO grammar so they wont have to tackle tables and declentions that their languages so often lack.

see it makes it soooo easy to learn cos u really have a very simple langage and u only need to know 1 form for every word then just throw everything together and the word order does everything for u

P.S. does Hebrew have grammar? i.e. morphology

obviously. is there a lang without grammar?

grammar at all? difficult, morphology? yes. asians for instance have often not evolved thier languages to the alphabet level, tibetan for instance is sylabic i.e. one character=one sylable and in the real chinese, each pic is one word, how do you want to conjuagate squigly? similar to how many languages in europe (including my new on) don;t have a case for geneitve that is to say, in latin Dominus=master Domini=master's while in say french and italian they only change in the word for "the" le la il etc. and ownership is expressed as de mond i.e. the world's so often words don;t change only their context does

well, if im not mistaken, Latin is a close cousin of Greek, and Greek was largely influenced by Hebrew and Aramitian (which is actually Hebrew with bad spelling), so ha to you.

well i think actually urs came form an ancient semitic lang and phonecian which btw has nearly the same alphabet shapes as the avestan or whatever alphabet u lot used to use. and phonecian infulenced greek...they invented money btw.

so do u actualy change the ending of a word depending on its role?

yeah, according to sex and singular/plural

ur averaging 3 characters a word and yet u find the space to bother with gender? tsk...hungarian has even less gender than english.

but the point is do you differentiate between direct object and subject not gender and number

i.e. the dog bit the dog

the one doing the biting is the subject and the being bitten is the direct object. notice the lack of change

in hugarian:

a kutya megharapta a kutyát
or
a kutyát megharapta a kutya
or
a kutyát a kutya megharapta
or
a kutya a kutyát megharapta
or
megharapta a kutyát a kutya
or
megharapta a kutya a kutyát

3 segments can be arranged in all 6 ways...the emphasis is different but the meaning is not because the ending changed

no, we dont have that. that sentence in Hebrew will be simply:
הכלב נשך את הכלב
(hakelev nashakh et hakelev)
as that sentence sounds a bit odd, the words האחר (ha'akher, the other) or השני (hasheni, the second).

right so basically then my new lang works like hebrew only sans the whole gender thing
