"And Where is the Answer...?"

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I made a pun in Latin to-day.

And Waen guessed the answer.

I haven't decided yet quite how sad this actually is.

(Skipped dance again to-night because am too exhausted. going to bed now.)

Domine Mi:
My Lord:

Nihil dicere habeo. Amo te. Ignosa me. Nihil--
I have no words [lit: nothing to say]. I love you. Forgive me. Nothing--

Merere non sum.
I am not [to be worthy].

Cor meis tuus est.
My heart is yours.

Dominus meus es. Deus meus es-- Ego--
You are my Lord. You are my God-- I--

Dicere, cogitare; ducere, docere, ferrere -- esse (non esse) -- ages omnes. Omnes es.
To speak, to think; to lead, to teach, to bear -- to be (not to be) -- you do [accomplish, undertake, withstand] all. You are all.

Cor meis habes (cor meis habe!)
You have my heart (have my heart! [this is in the command form; 'take my heart' is implied])

(esse aut non esse -- )
(to be or not to be)

Vales. Animus meus, vitium habes--
You are strong. My soul, you have strength-- [this is a woeful attempt to protest his faith in a situation where he 'has no words'. 'Animus meus' is not supposed to be an interjection, but he's using it as one. also, let us note with amusement that 'vitium' is a noun that means, literally, 'manly or masculine strength'. It is a feminine noun. yes.]

Amo te, Domine.
I love [thee], Lord.

Nihil dicere habeo.
I have no words.

--Tuus, Horatio
Yours, Horatio ['Tuus' meaning literally 'belonging to you', in a quite possessive sense. :D]

La, la...! Ignore the limited vocabulary and the fact that it does not translate well, please.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...Horatio.

We love him so. (And nothing's worse than our limited vocabulary, thank you very much.)

I continue to find this inexplicable.

(...Oh, come now.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Just read the letter, omg. Adorable.

(...Really! Hamlet just kept saying 'I love you.')

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

esse aut non esse. Come on.

(LOVE IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, which implies that one word is enough for a thousand. :D)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

--Okay, so that made me laugh.

(XD If you say so..!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

He's an idiot.

(I do say so; and, to further my own theory, I say it by saying 'I love you'.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Not any more than his boyfri-- ...that's not a good thing.

(I'll have to say 'I love you' in a so-- ...<3 hi.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Miss, his boyfriend's got the advantage of being adorable; and having insanity in his defence.

(Oh, do. ^__^)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Adorable? Hamlet? Does not compute. He is, however, insane.

(XD If I could sing.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

So adorable! ^_________^ And insane, totally, that too.

(...Or you could just read me more German. This works, too. <3 You know.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Ha. A little more of the latter, we'll say.

(...Perhaps while you're here...! I could stumble through more Hamlet-- or Goethe!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Hey, works for me. The adorable still wins out.

(Bweeeeeee. Bweeeeee. ^__________________^)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Sorry, you won't convince me.

(Though I'll be even more embarrassed if you're here. XD We'll call it studying for my final on Tuesdsy...!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...Yes, well, I'm convinced, and as far as I'm concerned that's all that matters.

(...And you didn't. I'll never forgive you.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I don't remember I wouldn't be convinced of, but. But I still won't be...!

(You didn't ask.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I do, though, and yes, you will.

(It was your job to remind me!)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Hamlet being adorable, it seems, so no.

(You never told me!~)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Hamlet is adorable.

(;_____; You should have known!)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...how do you figure that, anyway?

(;_____; Next time? Else I'll phonepost, but then other people will know how bad I am.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...TREE HELLO.

(I'll remember for sure this time. <3 I'll write it on the walls. 'HAVE ZARA SPEAK GERMAN HAMLET TO ME OR I SHALL MURDER MY UNCLE' ... and I will, too.)

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Everything that shouldn't be in Latin is a feminine noun. "Cock" is feminine. So is "erection".

But "womb" is masculine. What.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...Oh, good God. For realio? Latin, I love you. XD

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Yes. For real.

"Verpa" is 'erection', 'uterus' is 'womb', and 'mentula' is 'cock' (it's an obscenity).

I'll always remember 'mentula' is feminine, because back a few semesters I ran across the bit where Catullus calls one of Caesar's henchmen a 'defutata mentula', and it took me forever to figure out what 'defutata' went with because I couldn't see how 'mentula' could POSSIBLY be feminine.

But it is.

That nickname stuck, by the way, and Catullus just calls him "The Cock" for the rest of his work. As in one of my favorite opening lines EVER: "Mentula moechatur. Moechatur mentula? Certe!"

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...For goodness sake. XD That's just--hi, Latin, ridiculous.

--Ouch. *snickers*
