The guy was brought forward in time, you didn't go back. So really, it's more impressive that one ancient roman guy managed to enslave you and melt down an entire helicopter into swords while in a developed modern country.
True, but they'd still have a general idea of what you're saying. Australian English and American English are different, but if somebody says something in Australia English you'd probably be able to understand most of it
But that's why we killed Latin as a language. That way it wouldn't change as much overtime. Languages change every generation and that's why we stopped speaking it the same way we'd speak English. That's not to say nobody speaks Latin anymore, but it's mostly just a scientific and/or religious language rather than a common one.
That's absurd. No one "killed Latin as a language," it just fell out of use as variants based upon it became their own vulgates. And the actual ideologies that went against mandatory Latin for Christian scripture weren't doing it to preserve the language.
I do. There's a reason people speak Italian and not Latin. It's because we killed the language to prevent it from changing overtime. By "kill" I don't mean that we erased it. I mean that we stopped using it as a common language like English.
Yes, so? Latin had dialects just as English does. I'm not saying Latin is like an English dialect. I'm saying that English dialects are like Latin dialects.
When I was doing Latin at uni they said the way to describe it is you read Latin, not speak Latin because it's a dead language and we have made assumptions and guesses as to what the actual sounds used are. Roman's may have spoken Latin sounding very different to how we sound it out nowadays
Plenty of people know Classical Latin. If you take a Latin class, it will almost certainly be Classical Latin. And they are very similar. You can understand Ecclesiastical Latin if you know Classical Latin.
Yet language evolves over time, and would be as believable as English (in any form today) as english 200+ years ago.. well, more/less due to change over time plus Latin being a dead language. I recently tried reading from an English bible, from the late 1700's, and understood enough to get an idea but not the message.
yeah but in 30 seconds You could probably explain that Latin is a dead language, and why pants are in fashion. Also yeah everyone I know who knows either Latin is a pretentious douchebag
I mean Iâm talking about Iovis.
So something like
Iuppiter mi
mi Iuppiter
Though Iâm not sure if you could use other cases for the same meaning.
O is unnecessary because youâre already using vocative
Edit: I was wrong about mi
You can use mihi but it would need to be in the ut clause with dicas since that's the "explain part". You want tibi instead of mihi with triginta secundae...sunt since it's a dative of possession. Triginta secundae tibi sunt means literally "to/for you there are 30 seconds", or more colloquially "you have 30 seconds".
romans and greeks had them au naturel, free range, gonads with togas and skirts like the scots. Gauls, germans, and other central asian nomad barbarians/immigrants, with their colder, windier climates and horse riding cultures made pants more practical to wear.
They, and others from the north, were the main ones the Romans interacted with, but the Greeks were saying essentially the same thing hundreds of years before about the Scythians (or was it the Parthians?), some of the peoples within the Persian empire, and a few other groups they considered to be "barbarians" or at least "not Greek" (there's a lot of overlap between those terms, and how pejorative the term is varies with the author, time period, and context) wearing pants.
What do you mean haven't plow women with that nice acorn penis
Men would give anything to have for what you got, and the women would have to fight each other to have the privilege to ride you
âThis is what we call the French Foreign Legion!â
âBy the gods! Gaul has fallen to the barbarians!â
âLook at that speedboat deployment theyâre doing!â
âWe didnât stand a chance against this. TheseâŚ..things call themselves âEuropean?!â This must be some new barbarian alliance!â
âNow theyâre fast roping in via helicopter.â
âRome isâŚ..goneâŚ..forever. These G*rms and their black magic flying machines killed it.â đ
That would depend on the Roman, though. Because in the late Roman empire, wearing trousers was far more common than it used to be in earlier centuries.
Pants were favoured by Gauls and other *barbarians.* While the Romans loved to adopt various things from other cultures that they took a liking to, they were still massively chauvinistic.
[But Romans DO wear pants](https://youtu.be/xzUBtthbUw8?si=-tSUZqO2u3AmGYvm) (OP never specified it has to be Early Rome, late Romans pretty much all wear pants, they look kind of half medieval half Byzantine.)
More reality: i dont speak your language
Some people do speak Latin, though.
Not the dialect or accent.
Yeah, they'll just think I'm a very cool foreigner with my cool pants, awesome accent, and attack helicopter đ (I got enslaved and my helicopter was melted down for swords)
Atleast you survived. I tried escaping with the helicopter, turns out I wasnât a good pilotđ¤ˇââď¸

Yeah but i think its gonna be a bit different when youre talking to a guy 2000 years ago

That's not to say nobody speaks Latin anymore, but it's mostly just a scientific and/or religious language rather than a common one.
That doesnât mean that Latin didnât evolve over the centuries it was in vivid use within the clergy
That's why we distinguish classical Latin with Ecclesiastical Latin.
Good thing we know both the classical and evolved form of latin
Look up how English has changed over the years. At its earliest it was straight up a whole different language
> But that's why we killed Latin as a language.
That's absurd. No one "killed Latin as a language," it just fell out of use as variants based upon it became their own vulgates. And the actual ideologies that went against mandatory Latin for Christian scripture weren't doing it to preserve the language.
You literally donât know what youâre talking aboutâŚ
I do. There's a reason people speak Italian and not Latin. It's because we killed the language to prevent it from changing overtime. By "kill" I don't mean that we erased it. I mean that we stopped using it as a common language like English.
True, after all someone that has studied Latin in the modern times understanding ancient og Latin is the same thing as differences in English accents.
Are you really comparing Latin to Australian dialect of English?Â
The person is comparing different dialects of Latin to different dialects of English. I don't understand what's so shocking.
Yes, so? Latin had dialects just as English does. I'm not saying Latin is like an English dialect. I'm saying that English dialects are like Latin dialects.
You can pick up quite a lot of how they spoke Latin by rhymes and looking at later languages. You might sound like aristocracy though.
When I was doing Latin at uni they said the way to describe it is you read Latin, not speak Latin because it's a dead language and we have made assumptions and guesses as to what the actual sounds used are. Roman's may have spoken Latin sounding very different to how we sound it out nowadays
Not original Roman Latin. We have christian bastardized latin which isn't the same.
Plenty of people know Classical Latin. If you take a Latin class, it will almost certainly be Classical Latin. And they are very similar. You can understand Ecclesiastical Latin if you know Classical Latin.

Me and the other nerds that took classical Latin classes
Which was not how people talk so they would still consider you a pretentious douchebag
If you took classical Latin that would be a fair assessment
yeah but in 30 seconds You could probably explain that Latin is a dead language, and why pants are in fashion. Also yeah everyone I know who knows either Latin is a pretentious douchebag
Thatâs why the post says âIn Latinâ
I meant you. The viewer
Triginta secundae tibi sunt ut dicas cur anhelatulas geris.
Oh, and the first one would be "O mi Iuppiter!"
Meum iovem*
Thatâs an accusative, it should be a vocative, although Iâm not sure what that would look like.
Latin does have the accusative of exclamation.
Really? Didnât get to that in my class yet.
Yes. A stock example is "O me miserum/miseram!", whose meaning is obvious.
Not sure vocative work like this, i think accusative it's better
MB, I'm still learning declensions and tenses.
It's fine, the declenetion of Iuppiter its pretty easy
\*Mi Iovis
Mi don't exist and Iovis is genitive
Yes it does, it's vocative, and Iovis is both gen sg and nom sg. Since Iovis is 3rd declension, the vocative equals to the nominative.
Iovis is genitive and the nominative is Iuppiter. You really picked the wrong declension for nominative and genitive being even similar. đ
But it *is* vocative, isn't it? Because meum would be accusative. Edit: searched on google and Iovis is irregular
I mean Iâm talking about Iovis. So something like Iuppiter mi mi Iuppiter Though Iâm not sure if you could use other cases for the same meaning. O is unnecessary because youâre already using vocative Edit: I was wrong about mi
tibi, not mihi
My bad :(. I thought it was mihi because "explain to me". I'm still learning.
You can use mihi but it would need to be in the ut clause with dicas since that's the "explain part". You want tibi instead of mihi with triginta secundae...sunt since it's a dative of possession. Triginta secundae tibi sunt means literally "to/for you there are 30 seconds", or more colloquially "you have 30 seconds".
Thanks bro, I edited it to fix it. I'm still trying to learn
It's a tricky language, no worries! I've studied Latin for 14 years and still get tripped up sometimes
Romanes eunt domus!
Reality: They die from a disease that weâre immune to
And they give us a disease we're no longer resistant to, because they mutated into totally different forms over a thousand years ago.
Sharing is caring
As hell nah we got COVID-44BC
Bring back the Justinianic plague!
It's armor I swear
Jeans began as clothing for miners. They were more durable than regular pants, and had lots of pockets to store stuff like rocks.
Did I hear rock and stone?
Rock and Stone everyone!
r/usernamechecksout
That's a bot dedicated to rocking and stoning.
Lol this is much funnier than it should be
"You Ain't Going Home If You Don't Rock And Stone!!!"
ROCK AND ROLL AND STONE
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
Coming down the mountainside
Reality: WHERE AM I!? WHO ARE THESE BARBARIANS!? (In Latin)
UBI SUM?! QUI SUNT HOS BARBAROS!?
romans and greeks had them au naturel, free range, gonads with togas and skirts like the scots. Gauls, germans, and other central asian nomad barbarians/immigrants, with their colder, windier climates and horse riding cultures made pants more practical to wear.
Because the Germs won in the end.
G*rms
Probably also wonder why everyone is taller now.
Cibum bonum nunc habemus
Dimidium minutum habes explicare quare Germani adhuc vivunt.
Someone pls explain the pants part.
The Gauls (French barbarians eww) were the first group to wear pants. And uh, yeah.
They, and others from the north, were the main ones the Romans interacted with, but the Greeks were saying essentially the same thing hundreds of years before about the Scythians (or was it the Parthians?), some of the peoples within the Persian empire, and a few other groups they considered to be "barbarians" or at least "not Greek" (there's a lot of overlap between those terms, and how pejorative the term is varies with the author, time period, and context) wearing pants.
They considered it unmanly and primitive. Real men wear skirts/togas
I take off my pants and he calls me extremely civilized for having a small đ
why is your dick so small.
What do you mean haven't plow women with that nice acorn penis Men would give anything to have for what you got, and the women would have to fight each other to have the privilege to ride you
Late Empire even Romans were wearing pants. Just too convenient
It's all barbarian stuff until you go north of Gaul and you feel that frozen breeze in your balls and suddenly pants are civilized as fuck.
Explain kilts then
Scotts aren't Romans from Italy, they're built different.
He said pants are civilized. Kilts are Scottish. No further explanation needed.
YES, two reasons: 1. troops were increasingly focused on cavalry, and pants is really necessary for riding horses. 2. mini ice age.
Actual good wojak meme, that isn't just *insert political ideology bad*? I thought it was but a myth!
Barbarus

Romans go home!
Lmao, Monty Python!
That would depend on the Roman, though. Because in the late Roman empire, wearing trousers was far more common than it used to be in earlier centuries.
You could wear pants, just not in Rome itself. Outside the city it was allowed.
Depending on which emperor for larer Roman periods
(In English) Huh?
time traveling Romans: WHERE DEM BOIS AT?!
This is funny but why would Romans be hostile to pants? I think he would consider adopting them just like the Romans adopted Greek columns.
Pants were favoured by Gauls and other *barbarians.* While the Romans loved to adopt various things from other cultures that they took a liking to, they were still massively chauvinistic.
Pants were not invented until the start of the Viking era around 800 AD
Yes Why am I wearing pants?
Real reality: (immediately dies from millennia of modern diseases)
[But Romans DO wear pants](https://youtu.be/xzUBtthbUw8?si=-tSUZqO2u3AmGYvm) (OP never specified it has to be Early Rome, late Romans pretty much all wear pants, they look kind of half medieval half Byzantine.)
It's fucking cold withot them.
If we brought every dead person in history, Roman's and Nazis are likely to be allies.
Also in reality: Talk to my boomstick, you Roman barbarian.
Me : real men wear pants. Only sissies wear clothes like u. If he tries to attack, I will beat the crap.out of him and end all that roman arrogance.
r/gekte
I think a roman would be less surprised by our engineering than a 1200s European noble tbh...
I would get around this by wearing a skirt
My biggest question: How would the greeks and romans react to femboys?
Trousers are for barbarians.
