Siquis linguam imaginariam italo-germanicam faciat

Oportet reduplicatio maior uti et frui!

[atman]

Oportet reduplicatio maior uti et frui!

VIDELICET! I think reduplicated perfects should be made mandatory. They are so Indo-European...

And more seriously these perfects are one of the last traces of widely productive reduplication patterns in Not-Yet-Late and Late PIE; on the other hand the reduplicated nouns were usually made unrecognizable by the various sound changes in the daughter languages.

How could I forego mentioning the FHEFHAKED "he made" on the (recently declared authentic) Praeneste fibula? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praeneste_fibula

FHEFHAKED will of course lose reduplication and evolve into classic FECIT, but this is one of those times when Very Old Latin still looks scarily like Late PIE...

And of course I myself use and abuse reduplicated perfects in Atlántiqa...

SO they declared it authentic? I always get the Manios med fhefhaked and the DVENOS inscriptions' authenticities confused. Well, now both are in the clear. I have one thing to say:


FHEFHAKED!

Quaenam caterva tam italica tam vero germanica (?!):
what a rowdy bunch, so Italic and yet so germanic:

By this I mean Germanic Strong Verbs Class VII - now in spicy Italic style!

But of course, it's no hybrid; it's all PIE!

Saluete omnes! Mihi tempus est ad scholam revertendi, qua re veni pro suaviter exercere meam cognitionem linguae latinae.
Hi everyone! It's time for me to get back at school, so I came here to revise in depth my knowledge of the latin language.

Per prolixum temporem hic confabulatio permanserat sine verbo.
This conversation has been left without a word for a long time.

Quasi potest diceri lingua latina mortua esse, RMG.
You could almost say that latin is a dead language, LOL.

[Lambuzhao]

Salue, Serena!
Greetings, Serena!

Illud tempus revertit.
That time has returned

Opera quorum scriptorum leges?
which authors' works will you read?

Opera quorum scriptorum leges?

Anno praecedente legi opera Catullique Ciceronis,
Last year I read Catullo's and Cicerone's works.

anno venturo totum augusteum periodum me discere putatum est,
This year I'm supposed to study all the Augustean period,

sed saepe programmationes tardius incedunt.
but usually the programmes get covered more slowly.

Legebo magno gaudio Virgilii opera.
I am looking forward to read Virgil.

Conferre liber IX versum DCLXI ex Virgilii Æneide-

[Jarhead]

Gaius florentissima haec disputatio videre sum, longis tempore non obstantibus.

[Lambuzhao]

ad Jarhead:

Florentissima itaque haec disputatio videtur.

Et, quis est Gaius? Esne tu Gaius?

[Jarhead]

Ad Lambuzhao:
Manifeste "gaius" non significat id quo ego putabam. Praeter nomine Gaius, ego putabam "gaius" significare "gavisus, laetus" sed non est sic, et solus nunc didici. Mea culpa, quod non satis meo lexico (dictionary?) utor.

[Egerius]

Possumus dicere "dictionarium", quod est parabola medioęvis.

[Lambuzhao]

Lexicon vero malo.
but I prefer lexicon

[Trailsend]

Nunc apud "Languages practice thread" scripsi "Fieri potest ut opportit tibi rogare," sed nescio num verbum melium quam "rogare" extit. Quid putastis?

(Rectene dixi "verbum melium"? Non sonat recte, sed nescio cur.)

[DesEsseintes]

verbum melius?
