#latin (language)

[tyrian-red]

my erotic fanfiction is more historically accurate than yours. here it claims that shes moaning 'yes,' however classical latin didn't have a word that corresponds to Modern English 'yes,' i.e. an affirmative answer to an interrogative. You could have easily avoided this glaring implausibility by allowing her to moan plus, 'more'—as exemplified in my critically acclaimed fic with an unprecedented number of kudos (eleven). I recommend that you log out of AO3 and return only after acquiring satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter.

The Romans really went off with 'nisi fallor'. All the English online equivalents simply do not compare.

'if I remember correctly' -> wordy, stupid, too long

'as far as I know' -> sounds bad, clunky, can't say it quickly

'afaik' -> unpronounceable, weird looking

'iirc' -> gibberish, incomprehensible, too many i's

'nisi fallor' -> good length, easy & fun to say, can be thrown in anywhere quickly, literally 'unless I am deceiving myself' which is sick

I'm seeking aid from the Latin side of Tumblr

My research says that this phrase; DELIRIUM EST ARS TENEBRIS HABITANDI

means; Delirium is the art of dwelling in darkness

But, I know nothing about Latin, and I only speak one language. So I'm hoping this reaches the Latin Side of Tumblr and someone can help confirm that this is accurate? Or at least not complete gibberish!

It's for writing research, sooo *fingers crossed*

just finished the new game changer !! the latin on the coat of arms at the end says ‘incipere incipiendi modus est’ which means ‘the only way to begin is by beginning’. whoever did that translation deserves a raise lol
