Translate to your mother tongue

I'm taking Latin 2 next year, and I still only know how to say sentences that involve a farmer and/or a town, lol.

Ex: Agricolae bonae sunt.
(Farmers are good.)
Populus multi oppidum vitae.
(Many people live in the town.)

I don't even think that the second one is right, lol.

I love languages. :) It's interesting to me. I'm taking French and German next year. And if they offered Latin I'd take that aswell. Alas they do not. :(
I wish they taught Russian too. It's still pretty prevelent in the world today and might be useful later on in life. (I'm going into the military, hence my desire to get some degree of understanding the basics of a bunch of languages. Translators are in high demand and I with a bunch of languages under my belt I have a better chance of being deployed to hotspots in the world and there by have a better chance for promotion.) Anyways... yea... um we still need Italian and has anyone else noticed the complete absence of a representation of the Asian languages?

1. The teacher is speaking.
Magister dicit/loquitur.

2. The child is playing.

3. Amma is playing.

5. The teacher is helping Amma

6. The teacher is beating the child.

7. The child is crying.

8. Amma is helping the child.

Latin. I'm going into my fifth year. My primary language is French but someone beat me to it.

Forever Anonymous:
So, I got bored and decided to correct the second one by correctly translating it into latin.

Many people live in the town.
Populi multi oppidi/in oppido vitant.

Populus multi oppidum vitae.

-Populus should be plural.

-Oppidum is in the accusative which is used for direct object or object of the prepositions ad, in (meaning into or onto), per, prope etc. Oppidum should be in either locative (which you probably haven't learned yet) or you can translate it in the ablative by using the object of the preposition in (meaning in or on).

-Vitae was placed in the noun form meaning life. You need to use the verb vito vitare meaning to live and put it into third plural present active indicative

^ And that's why I got a B- in the class folks.

^.^

Hey a B is a passing grade. Better than a not passing grade eh?

Congrats for the B

But a B is a good grade...

It is better than failing, you could have gotten an F.

I probably would have if I didn't do all of that extra credit.

I love the person that invented extra credit.

^.^

Haha, who doesn't.

Alex thats great you like languages

PPl thanks for your support.

This thread is so awesome!

Come on, we need more languages!

I'm gonna start taking more languages in my forthcomng semester of university. I'm gonna start with either Italian or Japanese....maybe Chinese Mandarin.....maybe evven ancient Greek or Latin! Although I wish they offered modern Greek, considering it's not a dead language.

Heehee.

Nope English, wish I was a European language.

He he Italia what did you just say???? LOL

Any new languages??? :)
