Categoria Carta / Email - Amor / Amizade | | | Língua de origem: Inglês Traduzido por Cisa
You don´t know me, so I´ll introduce myself.
My passion is history and ancient languages.
I am the same age as you.
My favourite quotation is: As long as there is a spark, there is hope.
My Latin vocabulary is quite restricted so I offer you a riddle:
Here is the riddle:
When someone names me, I no longer exist. Who am I?
You probably won´t receive my letter. But I keep a ray of hope. |

| Non me cognoscis, ita inducam me ipsum/ ipsam | | Língua alvo: Latim
Non me cognoscis, ita inducam me ipsam.
Cupidus historiae veterumque linguarum sum.
Id aetatis ut tuae sum.
Prelata mentio mea est:
Donec erit scintilla, erit spes.
Vocabula mea in Latina Lingua non multa sunt atque tibi offero unum scirpum.
Hic est scirpus:
Cum quidam dicit nomen meum, ego diutius non sum. Quis sum?
Tu forsitan non accipias litteras meas. At teneo radium spei.
| | Ipsum –masculine, ipsam –feminine for “myselfâ€
I’ve preferred in translation to use “donec†for “as long as…†because it expresses more clearly the temporary connection
You can use “ego diutius non sum†and also ‘ego diutius non esto/ exsisto’ with the same meaning.

Silentium!
Classic one
I wonder if the answer should be reflected in the question, i.e. "diutium sum - quid sum"
And well translated if you'd ask me. | | |
30 Agosto 2007 10:32 | | | Diutius is an adverb in the original, so I presumed you can't make a corelation between them. Plus I think the person who wrote it is a male, so "quis" is the proper pronoun, "quid" is for neutral. He said: "Who am I?" not "What am I?" | | |

you have voted against your own Latin translation.
Is it of any particular reason or just by mistake! | | |
2 Setembro 2007 17:44 | | | sorry, by mistake! I was just curious! I won't do it again! promise! |
