Latin grammar

[Yellow Fang]

Does anyone know what a copulative verb is?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I didn’t but via the wonder of search engines I now do.

 

[Ridgeway]

Asked No2 daughter who studies latin, she described it as a verb that joins something together.

 

[Chromatic]

People called Romanes they go the house.

I could probably have told you in 1967, but not now, without the help of my pal Googleus Maximus***. (I did one year of Latin before my school decided that not speaking to live Germans made more sense than not speaking to dead Romans! )



*** I know it is very immature of me, but I was chortling last night at a YT video clip from The Life of Bwian. Sorry, Brian!

No matter what it really is, it SHOULD be something to do with having sex, obvs

The last time I did a search for 'latin translator' I got pictures of 'naked teen babes' for some reason.

I was going to mention there was another radio station in Europe which broadcasted the news in Latin. On searching for it I've discovered they have stopped after thirty years!

It was Finland: Finnish radio drops Latin news after 30 years - BBC News

It strikes me that staff at the White House for the past 4 years must have felt like those soldiers - frightened to laugh at the idiot-in-chief, for fear of the consequences. I wonder if anybody actually laughed in Trump's face? I would have really struggled with some of his 'Biggus Dickus' moments - injecting bleach, swallowing ultraviolet lamps etc.

No idea... only got a 'C' for Latin O level, that language will never take off.
