Only if you managed to stay on key, Polish.

For those non-Catholics who might not know what Polish is talking about, here is the Magnificat in both English and Latin. It is The Prayer of the Virgin Mary The Magnificat - The Canticle [Song] of Mary:

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Scripture text: Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Actually, X, it would be agricolam laudamus, "we praise the farmer." Agricola -ae is a first declension Latin noun but unlike most other nouns in the first declension, it is masculine rather than feminine. Also, in that sentence, the noun must be in the accusitive (English objective) case since it is the object of the verb laudo -are -avi -atum, hence laudamus, first person plural indicative. The -am ending on agricola is thus required to place the noun in the accusative. Now, see how much happier and richer you are having learned some Latin???

PS: Just pulling your chain, X, just pulling your chain.

This thread is going to the vomit pits (I didn't know the Latin term for those unique Roman contributions to Civilized Culture or I woulda used it.... )



It sounds like a Doctor and a Lawyer arguing over the bill after a Dentist shot them both up with novacaine....


Didn't anybody ever tell you two that there was no future in "Conversational Latin?"

It was called a "vomitorium" Polish, from the Latin verb vomito -are, to vomit much, or as we might say in the vernacular, "puke your guts out."

You can't, X, since the Romans did not know of rubber, and thus had no word for it. This might come close, however:

Hoc excrementum similis vetusto calceo gustat. This s*** tastes like an old shoe.
