Latin Teacher Offical

SPQR

[latinteacheroffical]

Marcus Antonius would be 100% more accurate of a name than Mark Antony but I choose to believe Shakespeare was trying to signal to the Elizabethan people that he was headcanoning Mark Antony as nonbinary

Hey ummnn I'm a big fan and have a question, how would I say "I'm going to spit blood in God's face"?

- @latin-offical

Okay so I got out my extremely old Latin to English dictionary and a couple random websites for this one so it may be outdated/inaccurate but it’s something like

“ego sanguinem spuere in facie Dei”

[volumina-vetustiora]

this is indeed inaccurate unfortunately

ego is probably better omitted here, spuere is the right verb but needs to be correctly conjugated (first person future active) to spuam, and in takes an accusative (faciem) when it means "into", so:

in faciem Dei sanguinem spuam.

[harpygonum]

Based on Sen. Dial. 12.13.7 „qui in faciem eius inspueret“ I‘d like to offer „in faciem dei sanguinem inspuam“ with the accusative „in faciem“ bc its the direction in which one is spitting and the 1st. sg. future active form of „inspuere“ (also sidenote look at that little double „in“ isn‘t it pretty?). I‘d remove the „ego“ simply bc of style and redundancy, but one could add it back if extreme stress was to be put on the „I“.

there's definitely an assumption that kids who take latin are a certain type of weird and i try to make it clear that latin is a subject anyone can take. that being said the other day i had to quiet my children down by promising that i would teach them about cannibalism but only if they behaved

[thoodleoo]

loving people tagging and replying with "everyone wants to learn about cannibalism thats not weird." i say this lovingly but we're on the cannibalism fan website

words doesn’t classical matter order in greek;

[tanoraqui]

we, in a manner akin to that of a man who once was, in Rome, an orator of significant skill, who was then for his elegance of speech renowned and now for his elaborate structure of sentences cursed by generations of scholars of Latin, the language which he spoke and we now study, Cicero, write, rather than by any efficiency, functionality, or ease of legibility have our words, our honors, the breaths of our hearts, be besmirched.

Not many jnſtances of Punctuation - but for many Daſhes – et words Capitaliz’d for emphavſis, but not logicaly - ſpeeling and word Endings varied Gratelie - and the long S - ſ - vſed in at the ſtart and Centre of wordes - & the short “s” vſed only at the end - as with the U and V, and the I and J - but v and j only at the ſtart of wordes (we diſtinguishe not between Vouels and Conſonants, only decoratiue Letteres). Ye letter “y” being in lookes cloſe to an Olde letter “þ” which is vſed as “th” - Y may be vſed in the place of TH - but only ſparingly - and ſtill Pronounc’d the ſame as TH. Long and rambling ſentences - ſeeminglie without end - a paragraph can conſiſt of One whole ſentence, and ſhort ſentences are rare – we ſcribe like hiſtorical Modern English – and other european Languages.

You can certainly see how the common use of the word "decimate" changed over time, going from "killing one-tenth" to "killing a significant portion" to "basically killing everyone," and the word definitely has a certain ring to it, but also, "annihilate" is right there! You got the latin gravitas, plus it literally means "to make (into) nothing"
