Most people wonder where the Hungarian language comes from but have no idea. Some germans say its a barbaric language which later became germanized. Slavs say its a mongol language that became slavized. Other slavs say Hungarians did not even speak, all the words are from slavic. Some romanians say it is a mixture of daco-romanian and mongol. Turks say its simply a turkic dialect. And last, but no…

I understand it helps to understand the bases of european languages, and it shows similarities between them, but why learn it intensely, if the language is dead?
When i was searching through a college brochure, in the language courses there was all the european languages, a few oriental, and Modern Greek, but then there was A level Latin, surely learning would be almost useless on the whole, right? No countries speak it anywhere, and it wouldn’t even be that convincing on a C.V.
right? or…..?

We all know the meaning for abbreviation…
“a shortened or contracted form of a word or phrase, used to represent the whole.”
Then why the word abbreviation itself is too long?
This is the answer! Abbreviation, in itself, is not an abbreviation! (abbr. is the abbreviation for abbreviation I think!) , so obviously it is not going to be small, and concise, but more of a broad word. Obviously, many words in the English language derive from Latin words, or are similar to Latin words: thus, the long word “abbreviation” starts from the short word ‘brevis’ meaning ‘brief’.
Well! Any funny answers?
Star and rate if you like!

I am looking for the latin form of this quote from Cicero:
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Please give the source of your translation. I’ve already looked it up on one of those online english to latin translators, but anyone who speaks more than one language and has used those knows there’s always room for errors. This is what I got from one of the translation sites:
“A cella vacuus libri est amo a somes vacuus a animus”
Thanks in advance!
Ok so I’m a junior in High School next year and I love languages, I’ve always wanted to become a doctor, specifically a neurosurgeon since I was in the 4rth grade. So, this summer I’m teaching myself organic chem and a little microbiology as a self project, I also want to learn a language. I already speak Hindi and Punjabi (I’m Indian :]). I take german at school. So, what would be more useful for me Latin or Spanish. Latin since I hear its incredibly helpful when it comes to medicine, or spanish which will let me communicate with a huge population in the US.

I’m trying to translate this quote into Latin:
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
The programs on the internet are literal translations and don’t take into account sentence structure or grammar, this means the sentences don’t make sense.
I have a program that ‘humanly’ translate from Latin to English so i can check any phrases i find, but i’m having trouble finding useful phrases…
Can anyone translate Latin? Or any tips on how to go about translating into another language?
Thank You
I would recommend you start to listen to the Latinum podcasts.http://latinum.mypodcast.com
Make sure you read the faq on that site about how to use the Latinum Latin course – which is a free online audio course.
