in latin instead of saying “i love you” you don’t say anything because it’s a dead language. nothing. i think that’s beautiful. just shut the fuck up
#LATIN IS NOT A DEAD LANGUAGE#YOU KNOW WHAT A REAL DEAD LANGUAGE LOOKS LIKE?#ELAMITE#YOU EVER HEARD OF ELAMITE?#NO#YOU KNOW WHY?#BECAUSE NO ONE CAN READ OR WRITE IT NO ONE CAN SPEAK IT KNOW ONE KNOWS IT#ELAMITE HAS NO DESCENDANT LANGUAGES NO DERIVATIVES NO MODERN EQUIVALENTS#ITS ENTIRE LANGUAGE BRANCH IS EXTINCT#YOU KNOW WHY LATIN ISN’T DEAD#THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE WHO CAN READ AND WRITE LATIN RIGHT NOW THAN THERE WERE DURING THE ROMAN EMPIRE#THERE ARE 5 ROMANCE LANGUAGES WHICH ALL DERIVE FROM LATIN#ITALIAN IS CLOSER TO LATIN THAN MODERN ENGLISH IS TO OLD ENGLISH#ENGLISH TAKES LIKE 60% OF ITS WORD STRUCTURE FROM LATIN#AND ENGLISH HAS OVER A MILLION FUCKING WORDS IN IT#THERE IS MORE LATIN IN THE WORLD TODAY THAN AT ANY POINT IN HUMAN HISTORY#LATIN ISN’T DEAD#LATIN TRANSCENDED DEATH AND BECAME A LANGUAGE GOD
AND CAN I JUST ADD TO MY RANT FROM EARLIER THAT LATIN IS LITERALLY THE BASIS OF OUR ENTIRE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
MODERN MEDICINE WOULD NOT TRANSLATE ACROSS BORDERS IF IT DIDN’T USE LATIN AS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE BASIS FOR ALL OF ITS TERMINOLOGY. ALL OF BIOLOGY TAKES ITS NOMENCLATURE FROM LATIN.
BECAUSE IT’S NOT A DEAD LANGUAGE. IT’S A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. THE MODERN WORLD COULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT LATIN.
LATIN HAS BECOME SO DEEPLY ROOTED TO ALL ACADEMIA AND SCIENTIFIC NOMENCLATURE THAT WE HAVE MADE IT *IMPOSSIBLE* FOR LATIN TO DIE BARRING THE EXTINCTION OF THE HUMAN RACE ITSELF.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT. WE WILL LEAVE SIGNS OF OUR EXISTENCE ON THIS WORLD AFTER WE DIE. SOME ALIEN ARCHAEOLOGIST IS GOING TO FIND EVIDENCE OF OUR CIVILIZATION ONE DAY. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO FIND?
LATIN.
LATIN WILL OUTLIVE OUR SPECIES.
can i just say that i love you in latin is ego amo te
te amo would probably be more accurate
