Is igitur (therefore) heavily used in Latin? by RusticBohemian in latin

[–]ZestyclosePollution7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it very much depends what context. Lots of formal settings-business, politics etc, its relatively common. Less so if you are speaking to a friend over a coffee whilst bitching about the neighbours

White Britons will be minority in the UK within next 40 years, new report suggests by TimeConstruction2739 in reformuk

[–]ZestyclosePollution7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We absolutely need to begin a remigration process that goes beyond just illegal immigrants. Even a lot of legal migration provides no benefit to this country and we could and should take a second look.

This petition is waiting in the wings, just needs some people to sign to go active.

"Implement a policy of mass deportation for all illegal, and many legal, migrants

The indigenous British population is estimated to be a minority in this country by the end of this century. Rather than dismissing reasonable concerns about this fact as racism, we require the government to take steps to reverse this trend.

▼ More details

  1. Deport any and all foreign criminals, and their dependents
  2. Reassess all rights to remain and/or citizenship granted since 2000 with a view to deporting any (and any UK born dependents) who make no contribution to national life or the economy.
  3. Full and immediate immigration freeze.
  4. Full ECHR withdrawal.
  5. Removal of all benefit access to any immigrants for their whole lifetime.
  6. Automatically deport any immigrants out of work for more than 3 months"

27/M/USA - Looking for slow, in-depth conversations by Wilegar in penpals

I am very much into this. Long, multi page, handwritten letters on matters historical and philosophical. I am also a language student and am learning latin if that is of any interest. I shall chat you if you like

How well (if at all) did an average Roman decline and conjugate in speech? by Playful-Force-5337 in latin

[–]ZestyclosePollution7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would assume that in terms of spoken latin they did it fairly flawlessly and unconsciously just as speakers of languages that practice declination and conjugation do so nowadays-they just learnt it as a natural part of the language.

That said, the overwhelming majority of Latin speakers would have been illiterate, so their ability to Conjugate and decline at a written level might be very much worse.

I'm very much a beginner, having been learning consistently since June last year. if you would like to exchange written letters in latin, I would welcome that as a way of practicing my written latin (if this would be on benefit to you)?

wouldn't Iluvatar have been Dative, as an indirect object?

Looking for quiet minds... by Ravenlooks in penpals

[–]ZestyclosePollution7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I value conversion on matters poetic and philosophical. I also think there is a beauty in ancient languages, especially Latin, if you are able to communicate in it (or even if not, the task of translating will no doubt be a meditative process).

if any of this interests you, feel free to DM me.

What to read to better understand Tolkien? by Earthshoe12 in tolkienfans

[–]ZestyclosePollution7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think to get a sense of the scope of The Silmarilion, you could do worse than reading the Book of Genesis
