Latin Verbs

[chaletian]

Actually, I'm quite relieved that we've finally moved on to passive verbs. I was merrily trolling along translating my presents and imperfects and perfects and pluperfects when I realised, a little while ago, that I had, at my Latin peak, known considerably more tenses and moods etc. So now we've had subjunctives (always fun... ah, ut+subj., what a fine grammatical structure) and passive verbs, which will lead neatly on to deponent verbs. Then we'll have all the future ones, and lark around with conditional clauses, and it's all good. Huzzah.

Your scaring me...I'm now realising how much latin I've forgotten and how much I never knew - if anyone ever needs me to translate a latin document for them then i'm stuffed.

How come you deleted your comment on my LJ btw?

Can't remember entirely now but I thought it came out sounding sarky unintentionally so took it away and hid it in a box...

Ah...for sarcasm is not our friend on Friday mornings. Oh no.

I once attempted to teach myself Latin - armed with my knowledge of various religious pieces and a combined dicker/grammar. Never got round to it though.

Real reason for commenting though - Your icon - am I dreaming or is it Mollari from B5?

'Tis indeed Mollari. I *love* Babylon 5.

Such a long time since I did any Latin, I get frightened by thinking how long. I can't recall much apart from our text books had a story about some Roman kids and they spent at least three books with their carraige stuck in a ditch!
