The word oro in Spanish means gold, I think, does it have the same meaning in Latin? I didn't catch the translation

[@mattiafioravanti8475]

I feel that the young lady trying to understand spoken Latin must have felt a bit like how modern day Italians feel when they meet a group of people speaking another romance language. They can't speak but can understand MOST of it. Fascinating as usual, dear polyMATHY!

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Grazie mille, Mattia! 😃

[@lucaschiantodipepe2015]

It happened to me in Rome with a Brazilian tourist. I don't know portuguese but many words were intelligible and vice versa by him. With Slavic and germanic would be impossible.

[@Mercure250]

As a French native speaker, when they were at the table, when I needed to read subtitles, I realized I ended up always reading the Latin or Italian ones instead of the English ones lol That being said, I think my linguistics knowledge helped me a lot too. After that, however, I had more trouble understanding and had to read the English subtitles.

As Luke said, she had already studied Latin in high school, so, even though she never spoke or heard it before, she was advantaged

[@entropie138]

Interestingly, a lot of people that comment on the Old English language videos from the Netherlands, Iceland, and Germany say that can understand quite a lot of the sentences spoken in Old English. It's just that Modern English has been so heavily Latinized and Hellenized (Greek) throughout the last millennia that makes it quite distinct from Old English. It's why I studied German for a year. I wanted to learn how 'Germanic' English would have remained had it not been for the Norman Invasion.

[@mfaizsyahmi]

They say the walls have ears, and if we anthromorphize it a bit, I would think the walls of the Pompeii ruins would be elated to hear Latin spoken on the streets again after millenia of being severely "clogged with earwax".

Even in Welsh we get Latin words from the Roman occupation of Britain like “eglwys” “mêl” and “ffenestr” the impact of the Romans was absolutely incredible

[@therat1117]

Mae mêl yn gair Cymraeg - os o Lladin, bydden ni'n dweud fe fel 'mil' fel yn Lladin.

[@Mercure250]

Actually, "mêl" is Celtic. The resemblance with the Latin word comes from the fact the word in both languages has a common ancestry through Proto-Indo-European, rather than borrowing.

[@joeleriksen3838]

Oh damn do’n i ddim yn gwybod hynny! Dyma pam mae ieithoedd yn mor ddiddirol

I’ll take a guess: ffenestr=window (almost identical in Italian), eglwys=church? (Looks like the Latin word “ecclesia”), mêl=apple? (it is called “mela” in Italian so…)

[@therat1117]

@@unknownzzz5115 Your guess isn't that bad, but is wrong, as both I and the Sais-splainer above are talking about. Whilst 'ffenestr' is 'fenestrum' and 'eglwys' is 'ecclesia', 'mêl' is from Proto-Celtic 'melis', which means 'honey'. It is unrelated to Latin 'melum', our word meaning 'apple' is 'afal' which is also a native word and unrelated to 'apple'

I am one of those oddballs that fell into Latin while helping my sons with the subject through high school. wound up getting a tutor I dug it so much. the tutor and I got through a little over half of a college text "Moreland and Fleisher" when I had to withdraw. the text had gotten to some harcore, real Latin, a letter of Marcus Cicero. I spent a coupla days on one paragraph, about 20 lines and became overwhelmed. actually that 20 line paragraph was a single sentence 20 lines long. still love dabbling in the grammar. a very structured beautiful language. I must say that my 3 years of study did not go in vain. it made me read and write and think more critically. best wishes on your Latin study. I initially secured a copy of "Moreland and Fleisher: Latin an Intensive Course" as a reference text to use in assisting my boys, and then later approached the book as a course of study. as this is a fairly modern text I found explanations less burdensome than most Latin grammars, many of which were printed in the early 20th century.

I don't even speak Italian, let alone any romance language or Latin, but I do enjoy these videos to see modern people see and hear having conversations in a language that somehow intrigues lots of us. Well done👏

[@lauscardi7007]

The fact that as an Italian I did not have to look at the subtitles to understand what they were saying even if it’s only been two years since I started learning Latin shocked me- like I didn’t even notice until I was like “Oh, there’s also subtitles?”

[@robmartin217]

Great video series

I'm from Portugal and studied latin translation as well in highschool but never heard it being spoken fluently in real situations and contexts. This is so magical to me. Thanks for sharing!

i just started to pickup latin again and this video was so motivating it makes me want to speak it now.

I’m surprised by how much Latin I can understand just because of my classical music training in which I sang quite a lot of Latin text, ranging from liturgical texts to the poetry of Carmina Burana as presented in Carl Orff’s masterwork (along with some Middle German!). However, I am absolutely unable to speak Latin myself. Likewise with other languages I studied, by the end of the course I was much more proficient in understanding the language spoken to me than I was in speaking the language myself. Ah, such are the problems associated with learning a language in high school and university.

I only have a basic understanding of Italian but I was able to understand much more than I had thought, great video!

Thanks for watching! Very cool channel you have.

That is straight up the raddest idea for a restaurant I've seen in a long time. Theming can often times get distracting and tacky to a degree, but this place looks friggin amazing. Hope to visit some day!

[@TheSaltube]

Fantástico. Excelente vídeo. Como lusofalante entendo mais de latim, quando se colocam os subtítulos. Todavia, só com a línguagem falada, entendo pouco.

[@WillowLackett]

I'm genuinely interested in learning Latin, and you've sold me well on the specific ancient(?) dialect of Latin. Do you have any resources recommended for a novice who wishes to achieve a similar fluency as yourself? Omnium Rerum Principia Parva Sunt

[@vylbird8014]

"Lingua latina per se illustrata" is often suggested as a start. The book is entirely in latin, but structured in increasing difficulty - the first chapter is as simple as 'see spot run,' but growing in vocabulary and grammatical complexity as you work through the book.

It's amazing to hear another language being spoken. Truly mind blowing. I took spanish for 7 years through 7th grade to 12th, and a year in college, but hardly anything ever stuck. It didn't help that I didn't have much interest in learning the language, but it was still pretty darn difficult.

[@nvaranavage]

I have started learning Italian, about a month and a half ago, one of the interesting things i learned is that we shouldn't only be offering Spanish, and French in schools, but Latin and Italian first. Latin is the basis of all romance languages, and Italian came directly from Latin and all other romance languages from Italian......teach Latin and Italian and they unlock the other languages to be learned and understood easier.......wish I had known that much earlier in life.

Okay that's it I'm learning to speak Latin. I already understand most of it from my 4 years of studying it. Do you have any recommendations for spoken Latin with good pronunciation I can listen to for exposure? I am already going through the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata playlist on your other channel, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. The thing I'm the most worried about is vowel length - no one seems to care at all about this. Other than that I stand quite strongly phonetically (although I have already found some interference because of Slovak (my native language)'s rhythmic rule, but I am aware of it and working on it).

[@Michail_Chatziasemidis]

He has a lot of Latin stuff on his Patreon page. Check it out!

[@fghsgh]

@@Michail_Chatziasemidis I really do need a job before I will be able to support anyone financially though, sadly. Once I do, I certainly will, but it may be another few years.

[@therat1117]

@@fghsgh I'm sure you're doing vowel length just fine, as wikipedia tells me vowel length distinctions are native in the Slovak language =) If you are not contented with only the ScorpioMartianus channel (which is all in spoken Latin or Greek), then there are a number of songs in Latin made by various users on youtube, and you can also look at the channels in the video description (hit the 'show more'). I was able to well tune my own pronunciation by just listening to Luke's other channel, ScorpioMartianus.

[@fghsgh]

@@therat1117 The issue with Slovak is that it has a rhythmic rule that states that the vowels of two consecutive syllables can't both be long. I've already caught myself mispronouncing words like Rōmānus. But yeah, I'm aware of it so I'm sure it'll be fine.

[@therat1117]

@@fghsgh Ah, that's a pretty common problem to have - English tends to do a similar thing with stress, as usually only stressed vowels can be long. We all are learning.

Herulano is nearby and better preserved but not as vast. It was kind of a rich suburb!

The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN), the Roman villas in Baia and the excavations in Stabia are worth a visit too. Naples is riddled with interesting sites!
