SodalesAuxilio mihi sitis, quaeso. Consilium ferte.Abhinc quattuor menses Latine discere conatus sum. Quotidie libro studeo. Quotidie sententiolas Latinas scribo. Quotidie condiscipulo cuidam epistulas Latinas mitto...Condiscipulum istum amicum esse credidi, at pessime erravi. Nam ab illo litteras accepi quibus "si re vera latine discere vis" scripserat "pelliculas has in YouTube specta, quas hic tibi mitto".Equidem, terribilis fati nescius, pelliculas illas magno cum gaudio spectavi.O dii immortales! Utinam numquam YouTube creatus esset! Nam nonnullis pelliculis spectatis (me miserum!), omnes meos capillos emisi. Nullum est nunc discrimen inter caput meum et album melopeponem. Heu! Auxilium ferre, sodales!

>>25462701>Anonymous Valesianus: ORIGO CONSTANTINI IMPERATORIS Holy kino. Interesting is how the author uses different ways to describe death. Constantine is the only person in the narrative to "obiit" which is way more peaceful than the descriptions of the pagan emperors that die in the narrative. I took the time to read the whole thing.>>25462873OP digits are dubs, so it's misc NERD

>>25463833>Although the inscription was probably created in 218, it is possible that the song itself may date back to the 4th-century BCE, as it is written in an archaic form of Old Latin.[5] The text includes numerous archaic Latin forms, such as "lases" instead of "lares," though still contains later forms such as "iuvate." Furthermore, the text contains multiple separate forms of the same word, such as the varying forms pleores and pleoris.Cool roll anon. Also checked.

>>25464248>On the Giantsread the first three chapters, one can already see both how much Platonism influenced him(the part about the analogy on the kinds of souls which manage to "emerge out of the whirl of the river" resembles what Socrates says in the Phaedo about the souls of those who dedicate their life to philosophy vs those who don't) but also the language I met in the the corpus hermeticum
>>25464193do me aleae maybe works
>>25464193On further reflection, since the source word is “rolling” with the word for dice being implied, we ought to dispense with explicitly saying sortem or alea at all and could just say “mitto”
>>25464788consentio
>>25464193Everyone knows the phrase "alea iacta est" (or "iacta alea est"), so "iacio" (note the "-io") seems the best choice. (That is, unless anyone can adduce quotations demonstrating otherwise.)
>>25465048That’s fair. While I have seen mitto used, that was again in a medieval text, and in classical idiom makes less sense.
>>25462701cedo bonos age Sors
>>25465111I looked up "mitto" in L&S to see if it had any interesting examples. It pointed to one place in Sueotnius where iacere and mittere are both used in regards to dice (tali, supposedly dice with four marked flat faces and two round unmarked faces, as apposed to tesserae, which have six marked faces).https://artflsrv03.uchicago.edu/philologic4/LewisShort521/query?report=bibliography&method=proxy&q=&start=0&end=0&head=%5Emitto>Inter cenam lusimus geronticos et heri et hodie; talis enim iactatis, ut quisque canem aut senionem miserat, in singulos talos singulos denarios in medium conferebat, quos tollebat universos, qui Venerem iecerat." Et rursus aliis litteris: "Nos, mi Tiberi, Quinquatrus satis iucunde egimus; lusimus enim per omnis dies forumque aleatorium calfecimus.https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/suetonius/suet.aug.htmlAt a minimum, you can establish that both mittere and iacere are authentic dice terminology, and they seem to be used more or less synonymously here. I doubt they were exact synonyms, but assuming they have an identical meaning in the context of dice playing, I would prefer "iacio" because it more clearly evokes throwing, whereas "mitto" is more generic and sounds weaker.
>>25465818>Nam quod ad synopsim pontium pertinet, fluminum latitudines dicere, etiam si hostis infestare voluisset, ex proxima ripa poteramus. Expugnandorum deinde montium altitudines ut sciremus, venerabilis diis ratio monstrabat.that's pretty cool, this is basically recalling the intercept theorem, there's even the very same example on wikipedia about this application i.e measuring the width of a river from just one side, even if the other is full of enemies and thus you can't measure it directly
>>25465871Sick.>>25465853Thanks. The only point I would offer for mitto then is that “rolling” is itself maybe not that forceful of a verb, meaning it matches up more with mitto idiomatically then something like iacio. Like, do we say we’re “throwing” the dice?Also, really splitting hairs, but if someone puts a full phrase, sors makes more sense for digits on 4chan since it’s not really dice but a more generic number generation/gambling system.It also occurred to me that I have seen mitto used with sortem in Late Latin, specifically in psalm 21, and in the 4 gospels, being the prophecy of the soldiers casting lots for the messiah’s garments, which is probably why that’s present in medieval idiom later on in the Carmina Burana.Iacio is totally fine though lol.

What's the best way to self-study with picrel with regard to the exercises? What am I actually meant to do once I get something wrong? Come back to it again in an hour, hoping I've forgotten the answer I read off the key? Are there alternate exercises I can do somewhere for practice?

speaking Latin feels too larpy, but I feel like if I won't know how to speak it at least decently well I won't feel like I really know Latin
>>25468376>speaking Latin feels too larpySubordinate it to your reading habit. It exists to grow your proficiency, which grows your reading ability. LARP is doing something retarded like calling yourself a flamen and doing rituals in the woods.

Translation challenge y'all.Easy:Arrows aren't easy to make.Why is that bird crossing the road?I have asked for eggs not sausages.Medium:They expected more than enough men to come before dawn.Each of the required payments must be made within this month.If the king hadn't rejected the peace offering, maybe they would've invaded anyway.Hard:In order to get to the harbor without the enemy party lying in an ambush for days spotting and killing you mercilessly, consider, if you have enough courage, the path cutting through the valley in the middle of the island: why courage you say? there's a reason the island's indigenous population never considered settling it nor does it even exploit the region for wood or foraging, whatever lurks in there, beast or god, lets people in but as far as anyone knows lets nobody out. Will you be the first to prove everyone wrong? Good luck, you'll need it.

I wish Latin still maintained a productive locative case, instead of just a few remnants usages.

It's kind of crazy that in a given chunk of Roma Aeterna, as early as cap. 40, I'll find like 4x the unknown vocabulary compared to Caesar. Like, the sentence structure is absolutely more straightforward and clear, but the vocab ramp up in Roma Aeterna is brutal.I read the introduction to the companion and it said that a rigorous pace for covering Roma Aeterna in school would be 2 years lmao. I'm thinking I'm going to take the sections that the companion breaks it up into and treat them as individual works for the purpose of deep study and review.
