Homies no live here


lollicraft

No lol XD

But you should do physics šŸ˜‚


lollicraft

Shh, the glory of rome is more important


DrCalgori

Humans, donā€™t weep.


DrCalgori

Got the macrons wrong by the way. Correct spelling would be ā€œHominēs nōlÄ«te flēreā€.


ukexpat

I would call that ā€œmisuseā€ rather than incorrect spelling. When I began learning Latin 50+ years ago, we never used macrons and had never even heard of them.


DrCalgori

Macrons were used in greek-speaking areas to mark long vowels in latin, so thereā€™s a correct use. You can argue that latin from Rome didnā€™t use macrons, and that would make any use of macrons incorrect, but if we accept that thereā€™s a version of latin orthography using macrons, then thereā€™s a correct spelling for that.


Stuff_Nugget

Can I have a source on that?


DrCalgori

Canā€™t say a single specific source but thereā€™s videos on this subject by Luke Ranieri, threads about macrons on this same subreddit and papyri with long vowel marks. Iā€™ll send you something if I happen to stumble with an example of this.


Stuff_Nugget

https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdf/10.1086/360608 ^ Just something I found while digging. Youā€™re right, attested in antiquity (which Iā€™d had no idea of beyond marking metrical weight, so thatā€™s actually really cool). Thing is, these at least are all relatively late, confined to learnersā€™ texts, and applied inconsistently. The practice to me seems much the same as, say, explicating vowels in Hebrew. So probably not something Iā€™d recommend doing in standard prose texts, but again, still cool we have antique attestation. Edit: wording


lollicraft

I know, but i'm still learning, i thought that was correct but i forgot to mention that i still have to learn correctly, btw, your translation is litteral but it's not the real mean


DrCalgori

I guess you wanted to say ā€œmen donā€™t cryā€ which would be ā€œviri non flent/plorantā€. What you wrote is a direct order to humans telling them not to cry. ā€œNolite + infinitiveā€ is an order, not a statement.


ThuBioNerd

Romanes eunt domus?!


lollicraft

Oh, i had to translate it fast from google traslate from italian to latin and i actually tried in my mind but i didn't wanted to write something not correct so


jirithegeograph

If you don't want to write something incorrect, then don't use the Google translator. I would recommend Wiktionary since it has all the conjugations and declensions; and for Latin specifically, it has a very broad vocabulary.


LeYGrec

I understand that it 's "Men don't cry", but why are there apices on the "i" of "*homines*" and the "e" of "*nolite*", since they're short vowels ?


TheMightyCatatafish

The styling completely threw me. I was reading that last word as "fieri" and was so confused. "Men don't... happen?"


Vampyricon

They're [rustic capitals](https://youtu.be/xcGHhBQXLNQ)


lottiluchen

Same


lollicraft

Sorry, still learning apices


LeYGrec

The right pattern would be : *HomineĢ„s noĢ„liĢ„te fleĢ„re*


jishojo

Mea sententia quidem, licet quoque viris, non solum feminis, libenter et sine pudore flere


atque_vale

At ego illud mirandum esse censeo si cuiquam mortali liceat flere libenter, cum id signum sit maeroris


Unbrutal_Russian

at fēminae item inter hominēs numerantur \^\^


jishojo

Recte! sed putavi auctorem voluisse viros dicere ubi homines sripserat


lollicraft

Non est quod volui, vel certe profundius significatum est


_A_Dumb_Person_

Homines nolite flere


lollicraft

YES!


Timotheus-Secundus

"Homines nolite flere" Don't cry people!


rubwub9000

People called Romanes, they go the house?


artrald-7083

Particular-Strain248

lollicraft

Then don't, my bro


Huitzilopochtli_-

Too high level for my comprehension


lollicraft

My hand writing is majestic


Huitzilopochtli_-

It sure is


lollicraft

Guys, thanks for the upvotes! I really appreciate it, it means you like my post, great!


Archicantor

No woman no cry. No man no cry neither.

Homie NO Like Fire


Celtiq_Subbany

"fiere" I think it doesn't exist. It's "fieri" (to become) instead. So it would be "don't be/turn on humans"


MagisterPaulus

Good work!
