I used to wear a tie to work that said the following: -
Ne te confundant illegitimi.

[–] eucalyptusandus (673) 5 years ago

yes to join together illegitmi what ever that is.
or
to join together illegitmi truly.

because words in latin aren't in any order you can jumble them.
word order gives english meaning where as Latin has meaning from variations of the word. which i don't really know very well.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39050) 5 years ago

It means 'don't let the b@stards get you down'. Lol.

I like the colloquial version, vis, "Illegitimi non carborundum". Mock Latin at its best. :)

[–] AndyKing1967 (39050) 5 years ago

Lol. I used to wear the tie to work about 30 years ago and virtually no-one realised (they probably thought it was a school motto or something), but once in a blue moon someone would pull me to one side and say, 'Well played'.

[–] eucalyptusandus (673) 5 years ago

So, is Latin syntax that flexible? I didn't know that.

[–] eucalyptusandus (673) 5 years ago

apparently thats how they wrote it in the old days you could if you wanted to

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sounds a bit like the modern schooling system... ;)

[–] eucalyptusandus (673) 5 years ago

yep i did a few latin classes at University my teacher taught me that

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No actually I meant that allowing people to arrange English sentences in any old way they liked, whether it made sense or not, seemed to be a modern trend in teaching. :)

I was taught Latin and Greek derivation in ancient times, (the 1950/60s), and some of it stuck. :)
