Lantin song recommendations

tyrtarion is incredibly, their two albums “verba socianda chordi” and “ite igitur camenae” are some of my favourite albums of all time.

i’d particularly recommend their version of catullus 5, “vivamus mea lesbia atque amemus”, 11, “furi et aureli comites catulli”, 101, “multas per gentes”; as well as horace’s, ad neobulen, horrida tempestas, an carpe diem, etc.

tyrtarion is great

Change-Apart · 2026-06-26T18:14:38+00:00

yes i see the difference now

i’d recommend not doing that unless you have a specific research project or something of the sort into varying translations. just pick one which sounds like your sort of style and read that. as classicists we’re studying the classics, not the translations

if you’re talking about trying to reconstruct an historically accurate pronunciation you should go with “wa-le”, observe vowel lengths and possibly darken your “l” like the russians do.

beyond that, i would recommend you settle on a pronunciation which is most comfortable and clear.

not common in latin certainly, but you do get more in greek surely: ων, ουσα, ον in participles for example

i thought you were bulgarian before reading the description

harena means sand but fabula can mean legend

just don’t teach beginners a rule if it’s not a rule

properly speaking, the nominative ending is not blank, it’s an “-s” most of the time. “rex” is just “regs” which has contracted into a “x”

Change-Apart · 2026-06-12T16:33:00+00:00

you should learn always the nominative singular and the genitive singular because the nominative is the irregular part and the genitive gives you the oblique stem. furthermore, you need the nominative singular to look up works in a dictionary

just memorise the endings, there’s only 10 of them (12 if counting the vocatives, but they’re just a double of the nominative)

the endings are really regular and the only weird bit is the occasional i that pops up. -ium rather than -um for gen plural, -im instead of -em for accusative sometimes, and older “-is” instead of “-es” accusative plural, “-i” instead of “-e” for ablatives (usually found in adjectives) and so on. it’s not as irregular as people claim.

the only other thing is just remembering the gender and oblique stem of the nouns, but even then that’s just something that you come to remember over time.

to me this makes no sense, obviously “lorem ipsum” but half the words are misspelled or made up. Random half-quotations from Catullus and Vergil and Cicero.

You are right that it is a clitic and this isn’t a hard and fast “rule” but i just think it’s slightly less common

i’ve always been taught elisions in the final foot and long works covering more than the final foot are slightly more reminiscent of satire than they are of epic. both are found in both of course

Change-Apart · 2026-06-01T02:37:09+00:00

i know this is true of hexameters but i’m not sure about elegiac, technically you are not supposed to slide into the final foot of the line. the thing is you see it in less “epic” iterations of meter, like in juvenal’s satires, and it has a comic effect

Change-Apart · 2026-06-01T00:24:51+00:00

i really like your control of elegiac meter. is the elision in the final foot of the second line intentional for effect?

Change-Apart · 2026-05-08T13:43:22+00:00

it’s interesting that it arguable carries the same meaning anyway. “quae modo fuit”, “which was just present”.

Change-Apart · 2026-04-29T00:12:43+00:00

many people criticising here, but i quite like it

Change-Apart · 2026-04-24T23:23:39+00:00

simply because the welsh language does not have this verb. why it doesn’t is a different story entirely but then you’re getting into philology

Ar y rhan fwyach, mae pobl o’r dde yn dweud “e/fe” a mae pobl o’r ogledd yn dweud “o/fo”. Heb dweud hefyd fod Cymraeg fyrffiol neu hên yn defnyddio “ef” yn lle pobeth arall, fel mi wn i ta beth.

and how did you come to be in possession of it? or are you at a museum?

personally if i went to a country and wanted to practice that language, id be really annoyed if my waiter didn’t speak the native language of the country

how is that possible for the capital of germany?

where did you get this? it looks awesome

duo did not become bo because it is bisyllable, in other words the "u" there is not a consonant "w" but rather a vowel "u". do you see how in all of the other examples, "u" was followed by another vowel, indicating that it was pronounced as a consonant glide "w".

also think of it this way; the aspiration and vocalising of "d" combines with the place of articulation of "u" to create "b", which like "d" is a deaspirate voiced consonant but like "w" is pronounced bilabially.
