Far from being "dead," Latin is part of our every English language, whether we're aware of it or not. From words rooted in Latin to phrases that have become part of our language (status quo, for one), Latin is very much alive. This entertaining book takes Latin a step further, into phrases that are translated from everyday language into the ancient language. Makes Latin alive and amusing with hundreds of expressions, including (tua summa culpa est-You are most to blame) and (pollicem premam! (I'll keep my fingers crossed!). The many categories include sports and pastimes (conorum ludum faciamus--Let's go bowling); eating and drinking (cena parata est--Dinner is ready); home and family; greetings; the weather; and much more. An entertaining book for lovers of the Latin language.
