Disce Videndo: Visual Reference

As I keep looking up the same words over and over again, I decided to make a graphical reference. And I thought I’d share it hoping it might help somebody like me. Why starts with a hand? Because I needed it for my own project. Maybe more to follow in future.

Any correction, suggestion, and advice would be deeply appreciated. If you make a correction, I’ll fix it and re-upload it again.

Jam scisne de hoc vocabulario?

Oppido nesciebam! eia, tibi gratias ago.

Continuo istum librum emere conabar, tamen, sine evento, quia
i. voxLatina iam nullum librum vendendum habere videtur. (disci compacti solum venduntur…quos olim emere volo)
ii. mihi pretiosus. :..-( amazon.com eum vero vendit, sed pretio supra $70, et is novus non est.

  • praetereone aliquid? tibi gratias rursus agam pro auxilio tuo.

Ave, Viviparide.

Certusne es? Scribistine epistulam ad doctricem Sigridem Albert? s.albert@mx.uni-saarland.de

Vale!

Let me write this in English, as this time I’m not sure I could say what I’d like to say in Latin, as I ask your advice on other issue also, although my English is no good, either.

First, thank you so much again for your help and patience, bedwere. They do list the book in question as “for sale” but I just don’t know how to put it in a cart and so on. Although I’m shameless enough to post lame poems, I’m for some reason too shy to write email out of nowhere.

On second thought, maybe I’d learn better by drawing myself. May I continue posting it to share? Because I’m hoping to do something interactive in this great community, just like “let’s draw something,” but can’t figure out how. That’s why I posted it here in agora, so that I might be able to take requests from other members.

How about a game like “fill the balloon?”
This is how it goes: A scene with empty speech balloon(s) is provided and anybody can fill the blank, in Latin, to make it funny. All responses should be applied without any judgement so that each member enjoy whichever s/he finds funny.

possible answers:
ovis: Sic tonsus, certo dominus eius avarus est!
homo: Gaiusne mutatus est nam ei ovis vocabam?

…OK, not very funny, as I had no particular answer in my mind when I drew it. But somebody might see something others don’t see in it, that’s the magic of this kind of games I believe.

There is no way to put it in a cart. The site has a late 90’s state-of-the-art interface :smiley:
If you want to purchase the book for a reasonable price, send an email to the author.

Sure you can post drawings! You draw very well.

Vale!

bedwere, thanks for your response.

Oooooh! THAT interface!!! :open_mouth: I couldn’t even imagine, because I thought the doctors and authors would be too busy to handle that. I guess I’m too spoiled by amazon etc. I’ll remeber it when I buy some of their CDs. Maybe at that occasion I’ll get my copy of the visual reference, too. Thanks.

Till then I’m going to post my own reference here to share. Thanks for your kind words.

Here’s another. Human body and its parts.

Aries: Scisne ubinam ovile meum sit?
Vir: Nonne id sat erat aditum concedere plebeis?

[Verba a bedwere]

bedwere, tibi gratias ago pro responsum tuum, quod amo! cum verbis tuis aries illic ita commodus esse videtur, quod hunc actum iucundum facit. verba viri iucunda quoque, nam is certe civis Romanus auditur! scio me dixisse nullum judicium addendum sit, sed fortasse laus numquam nocet. :slight_smile:

Gratias maximas ago tibi. Per transennam dico, umquam vidistine pelliculam japonicam istam?

Thermae Romae (2012)

Pulchra estne? Volo enim videre eam.

Mihi tantum mirum est quod tu istam pelliculam novisti! nesciebam eam peregre sic notam esse! :astonished:

Ego ipse adhuc non eam vidi. sed quisquis eam vidi dicit eam multo iucunda seque incessanter risisse. ego quoque istam videre debeo.

Illa pellicula autem in picturis comicis constat, cuius auctrix iam fabulam de Plinio scribit. eam quoque legere volo. ea vero auctrix bona est.

Pecus:

Et gallopavo in capite tuo. :smiley:

Quid? attatat, rectus es! quomodo hic advenit? sib!

Isne autem Latine sic dicitur? adhuc non novi. tibi gratias, iam didici videndo! :smiley:

Est nomen Latinum scientificum

Valde! quia illae aves Americae solum habitant, ei antiquum nomen Romanum fuisse non potest! :astonished:

Praepositiones

If you find any mistakes and/or anything to be improved for better understandings here or in any other posts, please let me know. Thanks!

*notice
I avoided “domus” since the word is irregular and also has a few adverbs deriving from it, such as domi, which could be confusing. Declination of “casa” (ae, f) on the other hand, is quite regular and simple.
