[Jessa]

don't know that latin thingy Skip.....

 

[DCBastien]

Veni Vidi Vici


Veni Vidi Dormivi
I came, I saw, I slept.

Veni Vidi Fugisti
I came I saw I ran away

Veni Vidi Cecedi
I came I saw I fell over

 

[Jessa]

lol, i like the last one!:rolly2: :rolly2:

 

[DCBastien]

In my spare time I make up multilingual jokes and insults. Best is translating Jack quotes

 

[Shaun]

and there is:
Veni, vermini, vomui
I came, I got ratted, I threw up
Visi, veneri, vamoosi
I visited, I caought an embarassing disease, I ran away.

These are from "Jingo" by Terry Pratchett. So they probably aren't right.

 

[DCBastien]

veneri is just from 'veneral' and vamoosi certainly in't Latin. Hey Shaun why not visit the Pratchett forums in books? I love to discuss Pratchett, plus there's Rankin too if you like him.

I'm stil working on 'we don't ever have existed here anymore' LOL.... what a tense...

 

[Shaun]

Yeah, I pretty much guessed he made it up when I read
Vammosi. But still I thought it was pretty funny. And thanks for reminding me Skip, I haven't been to the Pratchett forum in a while.

 

[DCBastien]

Your welcome. No, he did it on purpose and I'm not adverse to dire puns either

 

[Aing-Tii]

We don't ever have existed anymore?!? Good grief! That's going to have to be a future perfect subjunctive I think! :laugh2::laugh2: Wish I could actually remember my Latin. But that was a long time ago in galaxy far, far away.......Uh oh, guess I better head over to the old coots thread......


:star::star::star:

 

[DCBastien]

couldn't get over the fact in french t'other day i was only one who knew what a passive was!!!!! geez! t'is dire! and now i've nice little aorists to cope with,..... hm.....

veni, vidi, smegi

 

[reptile]

u should watch them on sat there fun

 

[Aing-Tii]

:laugh2: Skip! Just saw veni, vidi, smegi! Good one! Shall we conjugate our smeg?

smego, smegas, smegat, smegamus, smegatis, smegant.
Did I get that right? It's been SOOOOO long since I took Latin.

Teehee!


:star::smile::star:

 

[DCBastien]

correct!
smegebam smegebas smegebant smegebamus smegebatis smegebant!

(how to learn latin verbs... stick smeg in front and you will do it.. hmm some strange pshychology...)

 

[Aing-Tii]

I think you're on to something there! If I conjugated and declined smeg I'd have so much fun I'd have to remember it all! Mind you, it was 21 years ago when I last declined or conjugated.

smegabam--I smegged in the past, right?

Okay, now maybe Skip will do the first declensions for me? :kisses: Help jog the old smegger's memory?


:star::smile::star:

 

[Sinistra]

i vote for lister...

 

[dreamwatch]

It was tough but I voted for Rimmer - he sort of sums up the Red Dwarf spirit for me, but then they all do I guess. Oh decisions, decisions . . .

On the Kristine debate - I like the first one better, but that's not to take anything from Chloe. I'm just not good with change.

 

[Aing-Tii]

Yeah, I like Chloe, too. I think she does great comedy acting, very subtle at times. But I'm sort of partial to the first Kochanski also. She seems more like Lister's "type." I like that Chloe/Kochanski is her own person though.


:star::smile::star:

 

[Bayleaf48]

It's Lister for me :rolly2:

 

[Jessa]

ohhhh! i finally finished latin! thankgod! i start y10 in september and i definately did not choose latin HATE IT!

although red dwarf latin is funny :rolly2:
