Q. Why should i study latin? What are the advantages? Please list in numbers such as 1. blah blah 2. blah blah Thank you and list as many as possible

A. 1. It gives you a head start on French, Spanish, or any other Romance language. 2. It even helps with German, since it gets you familiar with the concept of noun inflections. 3. It widens your English vocabulary and, in particular, enables you to read and talk about scientific and legal subjects more knowledgeably. 4. It adds to your understanding of grammar in any language. 5. Translating Latin makes you think more logically, rather like doing mathematical equations. 6. If you go to graduate school, especially in history, you'll find that many primary sources are in Latin, and not all have even been translated. 7. It's just a great subject to know!

How do Latin Gerundives work without a object?
Q. Like if you say 'sibi laborandum est' without an object that he/she must do to? My latin teacher said that it isn't something we should think about or understand now until we learn Latin at A level or beyond. Why do Latin Gerundives without an object work? And is the gerundive always in the same form for it?

A. It seems to me that you mean the subject, not the object. Although the action of the gerundive is to be performed on the subject, it's a passive construction, so that the recipient of the action IS the subject. A famous Latin statement using this construction is "Carthago delenda est"--"Carthage must (is to be) destroyed," which Cato the Censor said at the end of every speech he made in the Senate until finally it penetrated or the Senate got tired of hearing him say it, and Rome destroyed Carthage. The dative word in such a construction is known as the "dative of agent" and refers to the person who must do the action. Such a sentence COULD be translated with the dative as the subject and the real subject as the object, which would… [cont.]

How were the revolutions in Latin America during the 1820s affected by England in the late 17th century?
Q. I'm not sure what to talk about in the essay I'm writing. I would have mentioned Simon Bolivar, but his main role was leading much of today's Latin American countries to independence from Spain, though maybe there is some connection between Bolivar and England that I'm missing?

A. If it was all in caps, the Romans would understand. But, at least at my school, we are taught to write Latin with the letters U, W and J, which were not introduced until the middle ages, after the Romance and Germanic languages were developed. So, if a Roman from Caesar's time came to read our modern Latin, I think that he would be able to once you explained our new letters.

How long will it take to become a competitive latin dancer?
Q. I am 21 (soon to be 22) and I am going to start ballroom dancing very soon. I want to compete in latin dance but I am just wondering how long it will take before I will be ready to compete. I know everybody is different but if I take private lessons 3 or 4 times a week how long do you think it would take? I would love to go to the Dancesport latin dance competitions. Thanks.
Asked by Kaleigh - Sun Jul 27 22:06:49 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you have no prior dance experience and you are not some sort of extremely gifted dance prodigy, it will take you about three years taking lessons three times a week AND practise for one hour a day. Don't take more than three lessons. Its better to practice more often than take more lessons. Usually, your studio will have floor time available for you to practice but often your local gym will have some hardwood floor that you can practice on. I prefer this because you get used to dancing in front of strangers. I'd also like to give a shameless plug for my blog called the "Ballroomblog" at Its a great resource for beginning dancers.

A. When i think latin, I think spicy, sexy, warm. Try having warm colored bouquets and flowers. Use oranges, reds, and yellows. I say use orange colored lanterns the hang from the ceiling at different lengths to get the vibe going. Have your flowers be like red roses and orange lilies accented with yellow and white carnations. It will look beautiful and just have your centerpieces match your bouquets, not exactly but close. Then have alot of candles and warm setting things like that. Also, check out this website. Hope this helped! :)

If you are considering taking up dancing as a hobby or career then you should consider gettting Latin Dance Shoes.

The whole idea of internet translators is based around the false assumption that Languages are translatable in the way units of weight can be converted from pounds to kilograms.

What is some good latin reading for a latin major?
Q. I need some last minute Christmas help! My brother is a latin major and I know that he would love some latin text to read. The problem is that I know absolutely nothing about classic latin literature. Could someone help me by giving me some gift ideas in terms of books that I could get him.

All the dances that are competed in ballroom have to be assigned to one of those 2 categories. We can't really say that Jive is more like Waltz or Foxtrot. It is more like Cha-Cha or Samba. This is why it is in the same category with Latin dances. Same deal with Tango that is historically a dance of latin origin but it doesn't look like other dances in Latin category, so it is considered Standard or Smooth.
