So ... asking someone's name in #Latin. Which of these would you go for and why?
quid nomen tibi est?
quod nomen tibi est?
I am most interested in views on quid or quod but permutations on word order welcome too ... #AncientBluesky #language
ps If any of you have used it, I would really like to know what you think of it.
Not sure how I missed this #Polis spoken #Latin publication in Jan 2024. Got to the party at last though! #Ad #Kindle #AncientBluesky amzn.to/4gBHBF0
Wishing you all joy and peace! In case you would like to listen in on a Latin Christmas Mass, here is an index of live-streaming opportunities: www.latinmass.live
Very impressive and thank you for sharing but are you missing Lysistrata (and its contributors)? Or am I missing something? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

good point!
Did a search for 'Latin language' on #Amazon (.com), sorted results by customer review and ... 'Basics of Biblical Greek' was in second place! What does this say about the standard of Latin language books??? 🤷 #Ad #AncientBluesky #Latinteach amzn.to/3Dh203n
Hoping I've been nice enough for this to turn up in my stocking! #Ad #Christmas #xmas #Latin #gifts #AncientBluesky

37% oh dear ... must try harder!
Another fun read though too tricky for beginners.

I've always had a wonderful time attending this summer school! Friendly and welcoming to all. Great teachers and great fun! #AncientBluesky #Latin #Greek #Classics
Someone once called a business case I wrote Wagnerian ... it took me a while to spot this was not a compliment :(

Here's an interesting site with an 'online lemmatiser and morphological analyser' for #Latin texts. I wish I could change the dictionary used to lemmatise texts though, like you can for looking up words. Anyone know how? #Biblissima #Collatinus #AncientBluesky

Your pictures are gorgeous too! I didn't realise how far away you were. I think your season may be a bit later than ours. Thanks for spreading the joy here!
I think, for some of us, over-emphasis on grammar can hamper progress to experiencing Latin as a language to be understood without analysis or translation. This book is more or less unique in foregrounding and accelerating such an experience. I just wish there were more lovable characters!
Picture of variety of coloured dahlias in a rainbow shape.
Have you ever been to see the Dahlia 'rainbow' at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge? Absolute hightlight of the flowering year for me! Picture can't really capture how lovely it is and this was just a bit later than at its best. The pano sadly turns the rainbow inside out too if you see what I mean ...
Started searching for other people posting about Latin dictionaries. Got as far as typing the 'c' in the search box and was quite surprised 😳

💙📚 And for the Latin language teachers and learners out there, to go with 'Lingua Latina: Familia Romana', there is a book of Latin language dialogues to have fun with: amzn.to/4hkpsMw

Today I was using Logeion to look up macra (macrons?) for Latin words to help with my pronunciation. I mostly use the 'LaNe' dictionary and it is great for this even if you can't read Dutch (at least I think it's Dutch!) @logeiongklat.bsky.social #AncientBlueSky #Latin

Ah sadly it won't let me log in at the moment but will try again later. Thanks for the link!
I have a 1985 impression of this beatutifully illustrated Latin Peter Rabbit (trans. E. P. Walker) but this link is to a 1962 first edition. The cover title changed to 'Fabula de Petro Cuniculo' in 1985 which seems better to me. I wonder what else changed.

Here's a Latin version of Wordle. The wider site also introduces an interesting model for collaboration on open source Latin resources.

Yes it does! Wonderfully catchy rhythm. Beautiful Latin too!

This is what I am reading at the moment! Great fun!
