Latin question
-
Not computer related but this is the main place I know with picky educated people! (and some daft ones too...) My better half needs a latin version of: "I think therefore I am sleepless", and between us we have: "Cogito, ergo insomnis sum" But I'm not sure of tense, etc. Anyone fancy themselves a latin scholar? Iain.
I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!
IIRC you can drop the "sum" which would be assumed

Your daughter's school is still teaching Latin? Run awaaaay!

Latin and, later, Greek. Also she's doing French, that'll be complimented by German next year and the option of a third modern language by GCSE. Oh, she also studies Hungarian.

She's blonde, blue eyed and fair of skin. They all will!

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Groan... and thanks for the chuckle! Iain.

What would you know about Latin? You're a furriner! You Italians and your modern new fangled languages... Iain. (ps, thanks, and long time no chat)

You'll forgive me for a little skepticism, I hope...? Iain.

Back in High School I could have solved that for you, but I can't improve on what you two have come up with. Perhaps 'sans somnis' might work in place of 'insomnis' but it's been 40+ years since I've had a Roman to talk to. Aquilae non faecat in effigiebus! ;P
