@Samy Nia Thank you so much! :D So firstly, don't trust Google Translate when it comes to Latin. It's very far from perfect, or even good lol. As for subflāvus, the prefix sub- when applied to adjectives means "a little bit" or "less than entirely," so our word here means "not quite blond" or "less than blond" or "kind of blond."
oh luke trust me i know when i was starting to learn latin i used google translate a lot but the thing is actually rubbish for latin and all of the awnsers are incorrect i think the only latin which is correct on there is probably salve and thats it. never use google and always use lingua latina!@@ScorpioMartianus

The narrative at this point is simply describing the division of the Gauls, the location of the various peoples relative to the Rhine and Rhône and how the emigration of one group from its homeland could be seen as precipitating subsequent events.

Having an Italian grandfather and studying Roman history I can tell you that when you get to the aspects of their daily life that also implies their superstitions, dreams, family structure, work ethic, ect it's truly the story of the Italians even on stuff you may not think on about at first. On a more broad term I'd would say the Mediterraneans.

They didn't use AVC in everyday life though. They would've said "year of consuls Tatius Andronicus and Pompeius Probus" or something like that. "Years since the foundation of Rome" were reserved for historians.

This is the first time I'm hearing the language as if it were an actual living language (apart from the use of ecclesiastic Latin by traditional Roman Catholics) and pronounced with native-like fluency. Glad I found this channel. Nailed the accent as well. Bravo!
I vividly remember the eureka moments when it really clicked in my brain that these were actual speakable languages. It happened to me for Koine Greek first, reading Philippians from the New Testament, then for Hebrew, and sometime later for Latin.
I am Italian and I studied Latin for 2 years in high school, many years ago, and by ear the pronunciation seems a little different from how I was used to listening to it at school, it seems like a Latin robot who speaks with a Spanish accent 😅
I got a stark reminder of the fact that Latin is a dead language the other day when I asked my Latin teacher how I would say “He liked books very much” instead of the “He liked books” we had just covered. The teacher told me that that’s not how you translated it, to which I replied that I was well aware, but just wanted to know how you WOULD say that when forming your own sentence. This went on for a while, with him plain failing to understand why someone would want to form their own sentences in Latin…

How ironic...The Germans, not so far later after Teutoburg Forest, adopted Roman political structure, Roman unified religion (Christianity), Roman law system, Roman eagle, Roman salute, Roman emperor´s title, etc.....

I'm now about to leave school and Latin class is something which I woild have loved to have continued till the end but sadly there were not enough students interested to form a class...
And you just earned another subscriber my good sir. I have been wanting to learn latin fpr many years. I have the ancient language home page tabbed on my browser. I still got the jokes xD Really good content.
The recipes part actually reminded me of a Portuguese play from the XVI century, by Gil Vicente, where this main character, _The Silly_ (in Portuguese, "O Parvo"), accuses another one of stealing rabbits and legs of an imaginary animal called "Perdigoto"... and all that in bad Latin. So, as the play goes: _Rapinastes coelhorum et pernis perdigotorum!_ 😆 Edit: My mistake, a _perdigoto_ is actually the cub of a partridge. I was thinking of a _gambozino_ for reasons unknown - and that is an imaginary animal.

What i like about latin is that it is pronounced as it is written. Atleast this is how europeans perceive it.
This is really cool. I love hearing latin like this and the quick facts are neat
Thank you for making me learn about the roman callendar
Now imagine him meeting the spartanian Echo
Wouldn’t that be funny?! I would need to wear Roman legionary lōrīca segmentāta and dual with him (with words of course!)
Ἀλέξιος ⚔️ Alexius
@@ScorpioMartianus Yes, please!
Alexius's voice is so relaxing, especially when he started telling about the gallic wars.
when the bagpipes started I laughed so hard
Oh god, this made me crack up so hard, especially when I started recognizing some of the passages from Latin class all those years ago. Absolutely made my day.
The meter being articulated gives me life
Thanks, Hailey! A lot of that on my channel. 😊
wow old latin sounds a lot like a mix of Spanish French and Italian you can almost pick out exactly what those 3 languages decided to keep
Yes! It’s such fun
those were the territories rome conquered
doesn’t sound like french at all, more like romanian
Since I know french and spanish well, i can decipher a lot of latin. Does it mean I know 2 types of Vulgar Latin?😂😂
@@RealVidjag England was under Latin rule almost 5 centuries.
finally, latin spoken how it should be....THANK YOU!
Very kind of you! Molto gentile, grazie. 😊
@@ScorpioMartianus hi, I subbed today when I saw your videos..it made me very happy.
I have a question: what's your take on the etruscan language..as far as i know not much is known about it..alphabet looks early Greek-ish and is basically latin alphabet in reverse..my wild guess is that there might be truth to the legend of refugees of troy settling in Italy!
I would love to see a video about it, definitely up your alley
I LOVE how you used Petros Tabouris' excellent Ancient Greek music.
Absolutely I did! It’s the soundtrack of my life. 😆
@@ScorpioMartianus Good to hear! I see we share similar tastes in music.
@@ScorpioMartianus Could you tell me the name of this song in particular, in 2:56? I was unable to find it.
That has got to be the MOST AWESOME thing since Garum was invented!!!! Ave Alexius!
As a Latin student this is so amazing to watch as the Latin is so accurate but also the allusions to literature are even included
That moment when you speak a romantic language and you can understand almost everything
romantic language 😳
2:36 For sure, the best bedtime story ever written!
Verdaderamente ame tu video, que creatividad!
Obrigado!
@@ScorpioMartianus excelent, all your videos, I wil learn latin from your videos, before the university I studied grecolatin etimologies, but the course was so bad...
I really like Alexius voice. The Latin sounds beautiful.
I'm only just seeing this? It's brilliant! I even love the electronic pacing.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with the robotic voice.
1:06 Wow, it's the same in Tamil culture too. The first hour of the day starts after the sunrise!
I love the wake up music!!
When you download the Alexius dlc and acendently ask for Caesar salat,
Alexius:
*Starts entire history of the roman empire*
That absolute banger he woke up to i would make my alarm for sure
I love how De Bello Gallico became a bedtime story
If you like this, you’ll *love* the music videos I have performed in Latin! Songs from The Lion King, Little Mermaid, Nightmare Before Christmas, Moana, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and more! ua-cam.com/play/PLU1WuLg45SiyoKYbbV5HS1pRFPimS_A6T.html 😃🎶 🎤
ScorpioMartianus Hi! Can you please PLEASE do a video where you read “O Fortuna” lyrics like one would normally say and pronounce them in the proper way without the modification that comes with singing?
My Latin teacher always wanted to sing Beatles songs in the latin translation with us haha
Great video btw, it made me really nostalgic. I'm now about to leave school and Latin class is something which I woild have loved to have continued till the end but sadly there were not enough students interested to form a class...
You are amazing!
Ahaha
I'm not amazing, *you're* amazing! 😃😃😃
Only a templar speaks Latin so well.
Where were you when I was teaching Latin to a bunch of middle schoolers?
I’m sorry I didn’t make this sooner then ☺️
Has Tribune Aquila approved this?
❤️❤️HISTORIA CIVILIS ❤️❤️
Idk, but this video certainly passed through the Roman senate.
I don’t know, we’d better run it by him first!
@@uri_9158. Yeah, it's easier to pass decisions just after the purge
And you just earned another subscriber my good sir. I have been wanting to learn latin fpr many years. I have the ancient language home page tabbed on my browser. I still got the jokes xD Really good content.
I can't help but marvel at the beauty of the language. ❤️
I took Latin in HS back in 2009. It's finally paying off.
I like how accurate the poem of Ovid was pronounced
Thanks! That's what I specialize in: ua-cam.com/play/PLQQL5IeNgck0-tQ4AZgKFMlQCJud_VY_H.html
The recipes part actually reminded me of a Portuguese play from the XVI century, by Gil Vicente, where this main character, _The Silly_ (in Portuguese, "O Parvo"), accuses another one of stealing rabbits and legs of an imaginary animal called "Perdigoto"... and all that in bad Latin.
So, as the play goes: _Rapinastes coelhorum et pernis perdigotorum!_ 😆
Edit: My mistake, a _perdigoto_ is actually the cub of a partridge. I was thinking of a _gambozino_ for reasons unknown - and that is an imaginary animal.
I feel like the bedtime story is a personal attack ! Thank the Gods for this channel.
