Salvus sis Aule Flavi Germanice
Bienvenido a Nova Roma. He leído que vives en Costa Rica. Hoy te
envié un "replay" a tu mensaje, pero como todavía no llegó a
egroups,
decidí ennviartelo de nuevo. Yo soy de Buenos Aires, Argentina, y
soy
ciudadano desde el mes de abril. Hay otros hispanoparlantes aqui en
NR. Si te interesa puedes fijarte en el Album civium.
Saludos cordiales

Well, as far as I know the suggestion someone made about making a
Latin-translated version of Gladiator hasn't come to be, but why not make
this a Nova Roma project? Get a couple people to translate, a half dozen or
so people to do the voices of the main characters, redub it, and sell it -
work out some sort of deal with the makers of Gladiator regarding sharing of
profits?

L. Pompeius Octavianus omnibus novormanis S.P.D.
I'm having problems with the "reply" option here at egroups. My
replies do not appear. I worked it out by posting without replying. I
would like to know if somebody else is having the same problem in
this list.

Ave,
Its becuase P. Cassia, our list moderator changed the reply to feature. So
that if you just hit reply it goes ONLY to the person who sent the post.
Not to the list. I was hoping that there would be a poll to get people's
opinion on this subject. I know Senator Ericius requested it..and I would
like to second his motion about a poll...since quite a few citizens voiced
their thoughts on this.....my personal opinion is that it should go back to
the way it was. :)

Salve,
I have long noticed this on many egroups lists I have been on... hitting
"reply" often only sends your reply to original poster. Solutions? Hit
"reply to all"... or hit "reply", erase the email address in the to: field
and substitute the address of the list.

Salvete,
I am very much enjoying our discussion here. Seeing a box full of email
and perusing it's contents, it is obvious to me I cannot respond quickly. I
will have a response up by this weekend when work is not an obstacle.
And it appears Vado and I are agreeing on something. Perhaps the Gods have
just been proven to exist! :}

Ave,
The buy line is "you might run in to a gladiator."
this means his competition might be someone tough,
like a gladiator.that was the point they were making.
I just had to clear that up...being in the advertising
business and all.

Salvete Omnes:
Within the past little while, there have been several new citizens who have
posted announcements about their being new to Nova Roma.
Unfortunately, due to work and other concerns, I am afraid that I have not
taken the time for something very important.....welcoming you all to Nova
Roma.
Please accept my belated welcome :) with my apologies. It is good to have
you a part of our great nation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them to the list.
If I can be of any assistance to you in Nova Roma, just post me and I shall
get back to you as soon as possible.
Bene valete!
Pompeia Cornelia Strabo

And I third it! I will sometimes draft off a nice juicy letter/reply and have
it go only to the person who had posted what I'm replying to.

[novaroma] Germanic view of Time? |

Venator et alibus amicis salutem
What Venator tossed into the waters yesterday has caused me to see some intriguing ripples...
Language expresses thought, and thought is in turn conditioned by language.
Another heathen friend of mine (in Britannia) who is a linguistics graduate, once observed to me that the Germanic languages - of which English is one - reveal a different traditional, cultural attitude to time from that evinced by Latin-derived languages.
In these latter (and in Greek, as well), verbs have future tenses. This indicates that a future action is assumed to be definite - id est, it is going to happen. In the Germanic languages, however, you can't do this with future time. You have to say, for example:
I shall get drunk tonight (expressing probability - 'shall' belongs to the same root as 'should');
I will get drunk tonight (expressing intention - 'will' means 'to wish');
I may get drunk tonight (expressing possibility).
I can get drunk tonight (expressing potentiality).
You can just about get away with expressing future near-certainty by saying something like:
I am going to get drunk tonight,
but English - being rather a hybrid tongue - has tried to borrow the Latin sense of future immutability by stretching the verb 'to go' just about as far as it CAN go. Even then, what we really have here is only a sense of the speaker setting out on a journey, the intended destination of which is drunkenness. You see, it's still far from certain whether it is really going to happen or not. Other Germanic languages, being far less influenced by Latin-based language than English, don't even have this option.
Try to be any more definite than that about the future in a Germanic language, and you'll find you are making a vow (which is a matter of huge cultural importance to the heathen North Europeans, but not half so much to mediterranean Greeks and Latins).
The same observations are true of Welsh and, I assume, the other Celtic languages. No future tenses to verbs.
So there you have it, populari - the 'civilized' Graeco-Romans of Southern and Eastern Europe would seem to have a fatalistic way of expressing future events, while the 'barbari' of Northern and Western Europe seem to believe in a mutable future. Or, it seems that the Latins have a cultural mindset which regards the future as knowable, while the Northerners don't.
