Salvete omnes.
(I tried it
)
I’ve noticed that Virgil is also at times spelt Vergil and wondered why this is the case? I know there is some discussion as to how uniform ancient languages were but surely a name wouldn’t suffer such disparity?
So, which is correct? which do you use?
Vale.
Thanks, I edited it to make more sense. ^^
Hmm the fan club thing makes sense, I thought to use “Latin” in a general term on the assumption that Latin was still spoken for a while after, though in retrospect it seems rather clumbsy.
On aside note, why do Salve and Omnes decline/conjugate like that?
Which declensions do they belong to? :S thanks. ^^
Salve is an irregular, but salvus is just a regular adjective which means safe or well, which follows the first and second declensions.
Omnis can be a 3rd declension adjective, omnis (m + f) omne (n). But used here it is just a 3rd declension noun.
salve and salvete are imperatives pres. act. of the verb salvere, singular and plural respectively; there is nothing irregular about that?
The verb itself is irregular because it doesn’t take on many other forms.
