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.

[tyrian-reb]

i believe they answered yes/no questions by repeating the verb, e.g. "venustus sum?" "es." ("am I pretty?" "you are.") but i could be wrong cuz forgot where i got this info from.

[doubly-magic]

interesting!

[tyrian-reb]

wait wait wait also this by @melonmard. crucial information

I wish you would write a fic where Latin students tell Cicero to shut up. In Latin.

Olim, discipuli parvi erant.

“Hodie verba Ciceronis legenda sunt,” grammaticus eorum ait.

“Euge,” dixerunt. “Nos pertaedet libri ‘Latin for Americans’! Tandem verba bona legemus!”

Tum legebant quae Cicero dixerat: “Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?”

“Tam difficile!” discipuli clamaverunt. “Hoc mihi displicet!”

Magister “Oratio longa est,” dixit. “Legite!”

“Heuuuuu,” ululantes discipuli infelices dixerunt. “O Cicero, cur tot tantaque dixisti? Quaesimus: tace!”

Cicero non tacuit quod erat mortuus. Tristiter legebant.

[interretialia]

Quam iocosum!

(Important note: dicere does not really introduce direct speech in that sort of way. Inquit, etc., is what is used instead, and only occasionally ait, etc.: “Hodie,” grammaticus eorum inquit [or ait], “verba Ciceronis legenda sunt.”)

[tyrian-reb]

not op but thanks! ive been making this mistake. do you happen to have a source btw? or is it just something you've picked up from reading latin

i remember cuz i made a shitpost about this, sexus, sexus M seems to only mean 'sex' in the 'male or female' sense? or are my dictionaries just prudes...

[translatingpostsintolatin]

that might very well be the case, honestly. maybe it’s different in modern medical latin but i really just wanted an opportunity to use a fourth declension noun :Þ

[tyrian-reb]

lmao thats so real. sexus means fucking in modern medical latin?

[translatingpostsintolatin]

idk. but at some point that meaning must have been assigned to it since most european languages to borrow it in that sense

[tyrian-reb]

oh ok

[westiec]

ita veeeeerrrrrooOOooo~~~

[revangerang]

I know this is a shitpost and the inaccuracy is part of the joke probably but

The “yes!” interjection in bed or after succeeding in a task etc is notttttt an affirmative answer to an interrogative

It is an interjection of pleasure or celebration plzzzz

Even if your target language does have a version of an affirmative answer to an interrogative they most likely do NOT use it in bed like that

(Weebs stop making your characters say “hai” in bed challenge I beg you)

[tyrian-reb]

oh ty i didnt think of that... in my head i was thinking like the interrogative is unsaid/implied/ur answering an imaginary question in your head. but yeah interjection fits it much better.

the inaccuracy was not intended but lmao ur right it makes it funnier

[tyrian-red]

call me cicero the way i scroll through my own blog and think each post is sooooo witty. oh us happy people, oh fortunate romeblr, oh highly distinguished praise of my postingship

[discordant-tongues]

me ciceronem ob modum quo bloggem meam replico quemque postem, o laeti iudices, felixque romeblr, atque alte decora laus postis faciendi mei, putans lepidisssssimum voca

[tyrian-reb]

omfg the utter HONOUR of waking up to find my shitpost translated 🥹

you might find it interesting that i took (adapted) the cicero quote from catilinarian 2.10: "(Hunc vero si secuti erunt sui comites, si ex urbe exierint desperatorum hominum flagitiosi greges,) o nos beatos, o rem publicam fortunatam, o praeclaram laudem consulatus mei!"

so this latin has been twice translated (translated into english and back) 😆

[servus-romanus]

a lot of things are cool now. cars are cool. buildings are cool. people.

[tyrian-reb]

[servus-romanus]
