h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm puzzled, bear with me, but I thought it'd be ioggers iust iog? Is the J replaced with L or I? Okay now that I see it it's pretty dumb, nevermind it's l, I get it now!

you've totally confused me now, and it was my joke. is my name lulius, julius, or ilulius??????!!!!

vale!

Sorry! Iulia!

I dunno, I just liked it. I'll try to dig up something else. My tutor calls herself Claudia Tullia; feel free to adopt either of those if you wish.

Exactly right about the ablative.

Joggers just jog --> Ioggers iust iog. It's the 'i', not the 'l'.

Now I'm very confused too, vamster. Are you male or female?

It's -a if you're female and -us if you're male, so adapt accordingly.

You can pick whether you want to be Juli- or Iuli-. Sorry for the very confusing tangent.

Ok. so my name is Iulia OK

i'm very definately female I'm glad we've got that sorted out.

Actually, are there any males in da house?

Vale!

I now have 'The Cambridge Latin Course Book I'. Now I can feel a bit less sad when I play the games on the Cambridge website.

Athena exit.

I apologise for the confusion and I am glad that everything's all sorted out

Great. Glad we know everyone's gender. Actually, if anyone wants to avoid confusion, they can use A3727983 The h2g2 Gender Code in their names, like I do.

thank-you for that, although my starter conversation for virtual cocktail parties is now useless

I'll put my latin name on the end of my own when it's a little shorter. Right now, I happen to be doing some advertising

Vale from iulius,

Vale from iulia,

oops

Vale!
* her classmates*
Yay, another Latin book is coming this week.

I'm feeling very unenthusiastic/undedicated, but I have no latin books at all, on the way or on the shelf!

iulia (?)

iulia, don't worry I just ordered one last week, and it's the passion and interest not the resources which matters the most, for example I didn't have a dictionary and I was broke so I bummed one from a friend

Very useful friend

Yes, passion and interest!! Definately

Vale!

Salve guys! That's right, I'm back, and I think getting a dictionary is an excellent idea. That may just be me, though, since I don't know any vocabulary at all, practically. I always have to go look it up. But vocabulary doesn't really matter in Latin, when you're never going to have to really hold a conversation with anyone.

Well, I haven't the chance to crack open my yet but I am planning to now that my last exam is over

Tomorrow is the last day of school, yay! *foresaw boredom in the near future, very practically saves her Latin book*

Actually I'll have to buy a dictionary because my friend is German and hers is German-Latin translations. I'd like to know some German also now that I think of it.

Head to the German Speaking/beginner's Thread...plugging again

Yeah, a dictionary would be a great idea...but my book budget is going on other things at the mo...The Meaning of Liff for one. Which is a kind of dictionary... and some of the town names originate from Latin, don't they?

Of course they do! The suffix -ceaster or -chester or -cester is from the Latin for 'fort' or 'military installation'. When the Roman soldiers who invaded Britain camped their army in certain places, those became -ceasters, like Gloucester or Cirencester or places like that.

Okay, so I may not be teaching much actual Latin, but at least you're learning *something*.
