That Monsignor has a really fluid ecclesiastical Latin. It shows how much love he has for the language. As a native Spanish speaker it was fun being able to follow along the conversation without reading the subtitles.
I studied a little Latin at uni and married a Frenchwoman so learned that as well, and I had the same experience. He speaks it so clearly and comfortably, I hope I can get close to his ability!
As spanish speakers we can understand portuguese and latin really easy without studing it cause the words sounds almost the same but french and romanian are more difficult
@@quinncreel6091 Spanish is my second language and I have also studied French. I’ve never seriously studied Latin, but I have the same cursory understanding I think most followers of this channel would. I’d say I understand 80%+ of the base of the words. The conjugations of the verbs are understandable. The declinations of nouns and adjectives are mostly lost on me. It’s enough that I’m able to follow along and feel like I’m understanding. I’d imagine for someone whose first language was a Romance language it would be even easier.
Im all for latin but wasn't The Lord's prayer first written in greek and spoken in aramaic? Also, the pope allowed the Croats to have liturgy in their own tongue in the year 1248.
@@johnpatricklim4509Not just western European languages lol. Romanian is a latin language and spoken in eastern Europe and around 50% of Albanian vocabulary comes from Latin. An Albanian example: "amicus" (friend) became "mik" in our language.

I’m delighted! The best part is that it’s actually the same language, and you can pronounce it either in the Ecclesiastical way or Classical way; they’re both perfectly understandable to everyone who knows Latin. Try my LLPSI playlist to get started
As a Roman Catholic living in the United States I have always had a fondness for the true language of our church. I’d love to learn this beautiful language.
@@BellaFirenze Great observation there. He'd also have trouble understanding any modern spoken language. Latin is one language of the past of which holds strong culture linkage to a 'golden' age of Christianity. It's just how it happened to occur. I don't believe anyone is trying to speak Latin literally directed at Jesus, figuratively? perhaps. I can only truly speak for myself I suppose.
Imagine of we reconstituted the Roman imperium to reclaim our legacy as Latins We would be the dominant force on Earth just like Rome was over 2000 years ago
For Italian it would be great grandfather as the Italian language is just a dialect from tuscan language which is one of the many languages spoken in the Italian peninsula.
Temo, il sacerdote parli quotidianamente l'Italiano percio' il suo latino rispecchia un po' il suo italiano, pur essendo polacco. Comunque pronuncia il latino a modo italiano non polacco. Per esempio: concilio, non contsilio.
He speaks Latin with an extremely heavy Italian accent. I very much doubt that this is how the Ancient Romans did really speak it. It actually sounds pretty strange and unauthentic.
@La Ville Nouvelle - Atelier d'architectes So it seems that to Italians "unitalian" pronunciation of good ol' Latin is a kind of cultural appropriation (cf. the latest craze coming from the allegdly politically correct Americans) or even theft or usurpation. It seems that the clerics of the past two rousand years failed to pass down the original Latin pronunciation, so today each country has their specific way to speak it. English speaking people pronounce Latin as if it were a variety of English (the upper register of the vocabulary is of Latin origin anyway). And German speaking people keep discussing how to properly or correctly resp. authentically pronounce the letter "c": like a hard Germanic "k" or rather like a softer "ts" (not the Italian "tsch", mind you). So, as an EXEMPLUM GRATIUM, the eternal question is whether CICERO is to be pronounced KIKERO or rather TSITSERO. See also KAESAR (hence KAISER) or CAESAR, et cetera, et cetera ad infinitum. Latin is ubiquitous, it seems. Quod erat demonstrandum. BTW: My favourite Latin phrase is MULIER TACEAT IN ECCLESIA! (am only joking, though)
Fantastic video. I got the impression from him coming back to give you the book after your conversation that he really relished the chance to converse in Latin with someone, which I think speaks to his love of the language and happiness at seeing others work to keep it alive.
As a back of the stadium linguist, I found this - and all your videos about Latin spoken in the modern world - absolutely thrilling. The joy of speaking Latin as a modern language as expressed in your conversations is inspiring. Although my background is more with Germanic languages, I find that I can still understand what’s being said at least well enough to get the intention & general meaning & context. And seeing people speak with such fervor, with gesture & body language brings Latin into the 21st Century. Truly a joy to watch & learn.
Magistri Turek et Fusco erant optimi mei ac peritissimi magistri apud nostram pontificam universitatem studiorum Salesianam. Nunc ego quoque linguam latinam doceo apud nostrum minus seminarium in Indonesia. Curate ut valeatis!
How fun--once the monseigneur got going he just couldn't stop talking! (I loved the nice Roman touch at the end to glance at one's watch and then announce that they had to dash off.)
"The Passion of the Christ" is unfortunately also in today's ecclesiastical latin:( however, the "Barbarians" series on Netflice is in very good restituated latin!
This is ecclesiastical Latin, the ancient Romans spoke a more "rough", more "popular" Latin. The Italian language is 90% "popular" Latin, if you like that type of language I recommend you learn Italian, and if you can the Sardinian language.
То, на чём они говорят - это целиком искусственная конструкция. Исключительно письменный (формальный) язык со средневековым итальянским произношением. В обычной жизни римляне даже в "золотые времена" Цицерона и Цезаря УЖЕ говорили не так, как писали и использовали упрощённую грамматику. Например, слово "consul" уже тогда произносили как "cosul", и даже сокращение было "cos.", а не "cons.". Много было звуков, которые не произносили, отпадали окончания, были сокращённые формы слов, дифтонги сливались в одну гласную. А потом вообще стали сокращаться и совсем исчезать падежи и склонения :)
@@Myrmidon74 What they speak is Ecclesiastical Latin. Until the 1970s it was the official language of the Catholic Church, Prayers were recited in Latin just as sermons were recited in Latin.
I love you all for keeping this language alive! I am learning multiple languages since I was little and Latin is my currently top priority, some folks might think that I'm wasting my time on learning these "dead languages", but I love Latin and Sindarin and can never think of dropping them! Ego sum studet et scribit Latin!

I was learning Latin on the first year of medical studies in Wrocław, Poland. I am not fluent, I remember the very basics and I wouldn't have any conversation in Latin but it gave me great ability to understand a lot from written Spanish and Italian (a bit less French). ❤
There's more life in Latin than there is in me. So yeah,it's not quite dead.I didn't understand what you were talking about, save for a couple of words that I've come across in English, but it sounded fantastic.

All the rushian words like: "Istoria, geografia etc" comes all from grek or latin, wend I learn "Moloko" I never forget cause reminds me "Milk" and in French "Bistrot" mean bar/fast food cause in Rushian mean "Fast".

My wife’s grandmother is 83 years old. We are from a small town in the north west of Mexico. She told stories from back in her youth how the mass was given in Latin and the priests would face the altar, giving his back to the people in the church and this was in a remote town with barely 2000 inhabitants. Today, mass in Latin still happens, it’s called “Misa Tridentina” in Spanish.
Meu Pai is Portuguese and mi mama de costa rica, I speak Spanish and a little Portuguese and it's amazing to me to be able to hear it because I can understand it in a way like a couple of sentences and I get the point of what they are conveying

Fico imaginando se algum nativo em Ingles conseguiria entender este idioma falado há, digamos, 1000 anos atrás. Nós, falantes do Português, entendemos mais da metade do que foi falado em Latim.

I converted to Roman Catholicism (from atheism heh) and it's a bucket list to learn Latin, in part because it surprised me how much Latin is still used in the liturgy today.
I do not speak Latin, but am fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. I have to say that I have to make a huge effort to understand written Latin in momuments and what-not; but listening to these men speaking with such fluency and security I can say I could understand about 85% of it. And where I came up short on words context would fill in the gaps. Amazing. It makes me want to adquire (not learn) Latin. Valete!
Hallo. I learned the Latin language 20 years ago while studying Slavic Philology, where I had three semesters with this faculty. And although I haven't used it since then, I immediately understood the context of the conversation and 80% of the words. Something amazing that shows that it is a magical language. A Catholic priest who talks to you in this language, based on all the rules and canons that should be used. Because it is not only learning Latin words or proper grammar, but also proper phonetics, syllabification, accentuation, and the ability to place sound emphasis on appropriate syllables in speech. And things like that. The proper combination of all these rules will make the language not rough and jerky when heard, but fluent, rhythmic, with that characteristic lilt. This is why it is a great pleasure to listen to this priest. Latin spoken in a high form almost resembles singing. Catholic clergy have Latin classes in their study, but also lessons in voice emission, diction, articulation and homiletics. These are valuable skills, because nowadays they are perhaps the only group that can still communicate in this language in such a melodic way. Latin was the language of the elites (political, intellectual, artistic) and it was not even proper to speak this language in a bad way. There is even an anecdote (it is difficult to check whether it is true) that Julius Caesar, while learning the Latin language, put small stones in his mouth to train his facial muscles and larynx to speak freely.
We had latin conversations in high school. I loved it. A wonderful language to learn to think logically. More tha 40 years later I can still understand a lot of what they say.
I took classical Latin for 6 years in middle school and high school, and even though i was never very good at it (plus my school only focused on reading, not speaking) its amazing I was still able to pick up a little bit of what he was saying.
My latin teacher here in spain can also speak fluent latin and you remind me so much of her! People like you two are keeping this beautiful language alive, gracias!
For millennia Latin was the language of the institutions,universities,religion,laws,dictionaries and books,the naming of components in botany,medical,animal,etc,etc,to be truly educated Latin was a must.
I am French, I do not fully understand what they are saying, but the way the priest speaks makes me understand a lot of Latin words, and I manage to understand the subject and what is said...
Fantastico vedere ed ascoltare un sacerdote italiano e un giovane americano cultore del latino , ai nostri giorni , discutere amabilmente , come se il latino fosse la loro lingua madre !!! Veramente bellissimo !!!
Really I pay my compliments. I studied Latin and ancient Greek at the lyceum and i did all understand . Butnit is my first time I hear people speaking in Latin. Wow ...
Do you think Latin speakers can understand 95% of what those languages are saying? I'm not sure if it works the other way around and I just started learning Latin.
@@thephilosopher7173 Some languages are closer to Latin the others. Portuguese(my mother tongue) is very similar to ecclesiastical Latin. I'd say I understand about 70% of what Italians say by ear and 90% in Latin.
@@C.Bastard That's really cool. French (Canadian) was taught in schools here but I never picked it up. I started learning Portuguese (Brazilian) but only got so far, and thought Latin would be good because maybe it'll help with understanding them all. I wasn't sure on that so thank you for clarifying!
@@thephilosopher7173 You'll find a lot of similarities in vocabulary and pronunciation, especially pronunciation. I don't think learning portuguese/latin to help each other's vocabulary is a good idea, because most of the common vocabulary between portuguese and latin are unused and obscure synonyms, but if you're someone who's into literature, you'll notice that portuguese and latin share a huge common vocabulary. But the pronunciation is so similar, that if you gave a latin text to a average Brazilian, he could just speak it the same way he does with portuguese and the pronunciation would be almost the same.
Its been 27 years since I left school, but I genuinely could make out about 10% of the conversation. Some words and phrases immediately came back, this was amazing! In all honesty though, without the subtitles I would have been been lost. Thank you so so much for this!!
As a Muslim of Italian heritage, my love for Latin grows each day. I would definately study the language in Italy. My heart and soul belongs to ALLAH, but my ancestors and how they communicated through such linguistic beauty is an ability of high priority to develop in my lifetime! Much love to my Christian brothers!
@@vinnieg6161 I would only agree that Allah is the same god JESUS worshipped. If Christians worshipped the same God Muslims and Jews worship, why would they call themselves Christian in the first place, if they don't worship Christ...? Anyways I don't want to start a big debate, but perhaps its inevitable.
@@caiuamoreira7500 ...? Catholics worship Jesus as Muslims worship Muhammed.. Both are prophets of the same God? Judaism, Christianity and Islam are called Abrahamic religions for a reason
I go to Latin Mass and chant the Compline night prayer with the priests and brothers at my parish in Latin. They also offer Latin classes on Sundays which has been an incredible experience to learn. From elderly ladies to middle school kids all join in and the demand for more classes continues to grow here in Chicago. I now often say my personal prayers in Latin and try to write some of my poetry in Latin. Such a beautiful language and a rich patrimony for the Church and the Western world.
My dad and his generation studied Latin and Spanish in school. I went to the same school eventually and right now I think it's a damn shame that both Latin and Spanish weren't part of the curriculum by the time I was there. At this point in my life I wish I was able to study those two languages.
Balsamo per le mie orecchie! È un vero piacere sentire il latino parlato con ritmo e cadenza propri di una lingua viva e vegeta. Di certo il format che preferisco in questo canale, ottimo lavoro come sempre 😄
It's crazy that this is the language that slowly tied Europe together over the course of 2,000 years and then it fell out of use so suddenly. So many important conversations, documents, and rituals throughout history were done in Latin and now most people would consider you smart just for knowing a couple words or phrases.
90% is very high for Brazilian Portuguese. Do you have understanding of another Romance language like Spanish added on? I am sure Brazilian Portuguese itself is not up to 90% intelligibility with Latin. Due to the reason Latin is the mother language and the daughter languages have a more difficult time learning that, than they would learning a sibling language. Latin after all connects the dots of the Romance languages.
As a Portuguese native speaker it was amazing to see the language that originated my native language being spoken so casually like this, I usually only listened to Latin in those video where it sounds so robotic. Glad I could understand a lot of what was said there.

I could very much see the appreciation, the joy of the priest of having the conversation with Martianus.
My late uncle was a nuncio and representative of the Holy See under popes Paul VI, JP1 & JPII and latin was the lingua franca in his day, but then he was ordained in the Saint John Lateran all the way back in 1950.

That Monsignor has a really fluid ecclesiastical Latin. It shows how much love he has for the language. As a native Spanish speaker it was fun being able to follow along the conversation without reading the subtitles.
I studied a little Latin at uni and married a Frenchwoman so learned that as well, and I had the same experience. He speaks it so clearly and comfortably, I hope I can get close to his ability!
As spanish speakers we can understand portuguese and latin really easy without studing it cause the words sounds almost the same but french and romanian are more difficult
I think you're wildly exaggerating. I'd wager you didn't understand MOST of it.
Igual me pasó a mí sin saber latín, entendí bastante de lo que dijo, especialmente cuando le obsequió el libro.
@@quinncreel6091 Spanish is my second language and I have also studied French. I’ve never seriously studied Latin, but I have the same cursory understanding I think most followers of this channel would.
I’d say I understand 80%+ of the base of the words. The conjugations of the verbs are understandable. The declinations of nouns and adjectives are mostly lost on me.
It’s enough that I’m able to follow along and feel like I’m understanding. I’d imagine for someone whose first language was a Romance language it would be even easier.
Lets bring Latin back to our Priests!!! I go to a Latin Mass parish, and it's awesome praying in the mother language of our Church!
reveniet latinitas ad Ecclesiam nostram solventque hi qui eam e nobis subtraherunt!
Im all for latin but wasn't The Lord's prayer first written in greek and spoken in aramaic? Also, the pope allowed the Croats to have liturgy in their own tongue in the year 1248.

Speaking latin is says makes it easier to learn other western european languages due to the commonality.....
@@johnpatricklim4509Not just western European languages lol. Romanian is a latin language and spoken in eastern Europe and around 50% of Albanian vocabulary comes from Latin. An Albanian example: "amicus" (friend) became "mik" in our language.

As an Italian and a Catholic, your video makes me want to learn latin, both Classical and Ecclesiastical 😍
I’m delighted! The best part is that it’s actually the same language, and you can pronounce it either in the Ecclesiastical way or Classical way; they’re both perfectly understandable to everyone who knows Latin. Try my LLPSI playlist to get started

Such fluent church Latin, really had a native language vibe to it a pleasure to listen to
As an Spanish native speaker it’s amazing how much I could passively understand while I was doing other stuff.
Indeed. I´m a Brazilian and could understand more or less 30% straight.
Spanish has many roots in Latin so that is not a surprise.

As a Roman Catholic living in the United States I have always had a fondness for the true language of our church. I’d love to learn this beautiful language.
Jesus did not speak Latin. Jesus would have great difficulty understanding the Roman Catholic Church.
@@BellaFirenze Great observation there. He'd also have trouble understanding any modern spoken language. Latin is one language of the past of which holds strong culture linkage to a 'golden' age of Christianity. It's just how it happened to occur. I don't believe anyone is trying to speak Latin literally directed at Jesus, figuratively? perhaps. I can only truly speak for myself I suppose.
@@BellaFirenze I know what language he spoke. But I know what the language of the church is. I don’t need a lesson from you.
@@franklyspeaking8335 It wasn't a lesson. It was a comment. Take a Xanax. Yikes! Warm greetings from Florence.
@@BellaFirenze Jesus lived during the time when Israel was under the Roman Empire. How sure are you He did not spoke Latin, ever?
The priest speaks so beautifully!
Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian: Our grandfather never died, it is alive and kicking!!!
Ave Glória, Ave Império!
Imagine of we reconstituted the Roman imperium to reclaim our legacy as Latins
We would be the dominant force on Earth just like Rome was over 2000 years ago

For Italian it would be great grandfather as the Italian language is just a dialect from tuscan language which is one of the many languages spoken in the Italian peninsula.
You don't count Catalan? I guess we go our own way then...
As an Italian I like how the rhythm of the Ecclesiastical latin is quite similar to the rhythm of the Italian language. So similar.
Temo, il sacerdote parli quotidianamente l'Italiano percio' il suo latino rispecchia un po' il suo italiano, pur essendo polacco. Comunque pronuncia il latino a modo italiano non polacco. Per esempio: concilio, non contsilio.
He speaks Latin with an extremely heavy Italian accent. I very much doubt that this is how the Ancient Romans did really speak it. It actually sounds pretty strange and unauthentic.
@@16tons30 that's the kind of latin we are used to in Italy. Any other pronunciation looks foreign and fake to us.
@La Ville Nouvelle - Atelier d'architectes So it seems that to Italians "unitalian" pronunciation of good ol' Latin is a kind of cultural appropriation (cf. the latest craze coming from the allegdly politically correct Americans) or even theft or usurpation. It seems that the clerics of the past two rousand years failed to pass down the original Latin pronunciation, so today each country has their specific way to speak it. English speaking people pronounce Latin as if it were a variety of English (the upper register of the vocabulary is of Latin origin anyway). And German speaking people keep discussing how to properly or correctly resp. authentically pronounce the letter "c": like a hard Germanic "k" or rather like a softer "ts" (not the Italian "tsch", mind you). So, as an EXEMPLUM GRATIUM, the eternal question is whether CICERO is to be pronounced KIKERO or rather TSITSERO. See also KAESAR (hence KAISER) or CAESAR, et cetera, et cetera ad infinitum. Latin is ubiquitous, it seems. Quod erat demonstrandum. BTW: My favourite Latin phrase is MULIER TACEAT IN ECCLESIA! (am only joking, though)
@@16tons30 each Roman province people spoke Latin with regional accent. The eastern part of the Roman Empire spoke Latin with a Greek accent
Fantastic video. I got the impression from him coming back to give you the book after your conversation that he really relished the chance to converse in Latin with someone, which I think speaks to his love of the language and happiness at seeing others work to keep it alive.
As a back of the stadium linguist, I found this - and all your videos about Latin spoken in the modern world - absolutely thrilling. The joy of speaking Latin as a modern language as expressed in your conversations is inspiring. Although my background is more with Germanic languages, I find that I can still understand what’s being said at least well enough to get the intention & general meaning & context. And seeing people speak with such fervor, with gesture & body language brings Latin into the 21st Century. Truly a joy to watch & learn.
Thanks so much, Nils! That means a lot.
Magistri Turek et Fusco erant optimi mei ac peritissimi magistri apud nostram pontificam universitatem studiorum Salesianam. Nunc ego quoque linguam latinam doceo apud nostrum minus seminarium in Indonesia. Curate ut valeatis!
I'm proud of this priest cause he is from my country :D God bless this channel and all the viewers
Wow. He is amazing. Very fluent in Latin, and he speaks with so much conviction about the importance of the language that makes me want to learn it.
I am in awe for two reasons now:
1. Your knowledge of the language
2. The fact that I UNDERSTAND this conversation !!!! I didn't expect that 😱
Great!
How fun--once the monseigneur got going he just couldn't stop talking! (I loved the nice Roman touch at the end to glance at one's watch and then announce that they had to dash off.)
You can feel how enthusiastic the priest was to finally be fluent in Latin.
Мечтала всегда послушать, как люди между собой говорят на латыни. Это как будто слушаешь древних римлян! Как красиво!
Священник говорит точно не как древний римлянин Это средневековая латынь. Хотите древних римлян - посмотрите фильм "Страсти Христовы".
"The Passion of the Christ" is unfortunately also in today's ecclesiastical latin:( however, the "Barbarians" series on Netflice is in very good restituated latin!
This is ecclesiastical Latin, the ancient Romans spoke a more "rough", more "popular" Latin. The Italian language is 90% "popular" Latin, if you like that type of language I recommend you learn Italian, and if you can the Sardinian language.
То, на чём они говорят - это целиком искусственная конструкция. Исключительно письменный (формальный) язык со средневековым итальянским произношением. В обычной жизни римляне даже в "золотые времена" Цицерона и Цезаря УЖЕ говорили не так, как писали и использовали упрощённую грамматику. Например, слово "consul" уже тогда произносили как "cosul", и даже сокращение было "cos.", а не "cons.". Много было звуков, которые не произносили, отпадали окончания, были сокращённые формы слов, дифтонги сливались в одну гласную. А потом вообще стали сокращаться и совсем исчезать падежи и склонения :)
@@Myrmidon74 What they speak is Ecclesiastical Latin.
Until the 1970s it was the official language of the Catholic Church, Prayers were recited in Latin just as sermons were recited in Latin.

I was learning Latin on the first year of medical studies in Wrocław, Poland. I am not fluent, I remember the very basics and I wouldn't have any conversation in Latin but it gave me great ability to understand a lot from written Spanish and Italian (a bit less French). ❤
Wonderful. We should all learn Latin!
I was amazed that the Msgr here pronounced Latin pretty much as I would instinctively. And then I learned he's Polish as well :D
Wow, I admire this guy's fluency and expressiveness!
This is actually amazing. As a native portuguese speaker, I can understand so much of it without subtitles!
This is awesome. I was beginning to think that since Vatican II the priests had lost this skill.
most of them yes
There's more life in Latin than there is in me. So yeah,it's not quite dead.I didn't understand what you were talking about, save for a couple of words that I've come across in English, but it sounded fantastic.

My wife’s grandmother is 83 years old. We are from a small town in the north west of Mexico. She told stories from back in her youth how the mass was given in Latin and the priests would face the altar, giving his back to the people in the church and this was in a remote town with barely 2000 inhabitants.
Today, mass in Latin still happens, it’s called “Misa Tridentina” in Spanish.

This touches me on a deep level. I am an amateur linguist and polyglot and I adore your channel and somehow missed this gem!
Thanks so much! Yeah the algorithm works strangely
I do not speak Latin, but am fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. I have to say that I have to make a huge effort to understand written Latin in momuments and what-not; but listening to these men speaking with such fluency and security I can say I could understand about 85% of it. And where I came up short on words context would fill in the gaps. Amazing. It makes me want to adquire (not learn) Latin. Valete!
Hallo. I learned the Latin language 20 years ago while studying Slavic Philology, where I had three semesters with this faculty. And although I haven't used it since then, I immediately understood the context of the conversation and 80% of the words. Something amazing that shows that it is a magical language. A Catholic priest who talks to you in this language, based on all the rules and canons that should be used. Because it is not only learning Latin words or proper grammar, but also proper phonetics, syllabification, accentuation, and the ability to place sound emphasis on appropriate syllables in speech. And things like that. The proper combination of all these rules will make the language not rough and jerky when heard, but fluent, rhythmic, with that characteristic lilt. This is why it is a great pleasure to listen to this priest. Latin spoken in a high form almost resembles singing. Catholic clergy have Latin classes in their study, but also lessons in voice emission, diction, articulation and homiletics. These are valuable skills, because nowadays they are perhaps the only group that can still communicate in this language in such a melodic way. Latin was the language of the elites (political, intellectual, artistic) and it was not even proper to speak this language in a bad way. There is even an anecdote (it is difficult to check whether it is true) that Julius Caesar, while learning the Latin language, put small stones in his mouth to train his facial muscles and larynx to speak freely.
Just WOW! 👌 A conversation is just heaven for ears. Wish TV shows were like this xd
We had latin conversations in high school. I loved it. A wonderful language to learn to think logically. More tha 40 years later I can still understand a lot of what they say.
Ah, you used the ecclesiastical pronunciation. Very polite of you.
Yes, I like to use the Ecclesiastical pronunciation if the person I’m talking to is used to it.

Che bello poter sentire il latino come una lingua viva in una normale conversazione!
For millennia Latin was the language of the institutions,universities,religion,laws,dictionaries and books,the naming of components in botany,medical,animal,etc,etc,to be truly educated Latin was a must.
Delightful to listen this beautiful Latin conversation. I love this language.

@@thephilosopher7173 Some languages are closer to Latin the others. Portuguese(my mother tongue) is very similar to ecclesiastical Latin. I'd say I understand about 70% of what Italians say by ear and 90% in Latin.
@@C.Bastard That's really cool. French (Canadian) was taught in schools here but I never picked it up. I started learning Portuguese (Brazilian) but only got so far, and thought Latin would be good because maybe it'll help with understanding them all. I wasn't sure on that so thank you for clarifying!
@@thephilosopher7173 You'll find a lot of similarities in vocabulary and pronunciation, especially pronunciation. I don't think learning portuguese/latin to help each other's vocabulary is a good idea, because most of the common vocabulary between portuguese and latin are unused and obscure synonyms, but if you're someone who's into literature, you'll notice that portuguese and latin share a huge common vocabulary. But the pronunciation is so similar, that if you gave a latin text to a average Brazilian, he could just speak it the same way he does with portuguese and the pronunciation would be almost the same.
@@C.Bastard Thanks so much for sharing!
Its been 27 years since I left school, but I genuinely could make out about 10% of the conversation. Some words and phrases immediately came back, this was amazing!
In all honesty though, without the subtitles I would have been been lost.
Thank you so so much for this!!
As a Muslim of Italian heritage, my love for Latin grows each day. I would definately study the language in Italy. My heart and soul belongs to ALLAH, but my ancestors and how they communicated through such linguistic beauty is an ability of high priority to develop in my lifetime!

From elderly ladies to middle school kids all join in and the demand for more classes continues to grow here in Chicago. I now often say my personal prayers in Latin and try to write some of my poetry in Latin. Such a beautiful language and a rich patrimony for the Church and the Western world.
My dad and his generation studied Latin and Spanish in school. I went to the same school eventually and right now I think it's a damn shame that both Latin and Spanish weren't part of the curriculum by the time I was there. At this point in my life I wish I was able to study those two languages.
Balsamo per le mie orecchie! È un vero piacere sentire il latino parlato con ritmo e cadenza propri di una lingua viva e vegeta. Di certo il format che preferisco in questo canale, ottimo lavoro come sempre 😄
Grazie!
It's crazy that this is the language that slowly tied Europe together over the course of 2,000 years and then it fell out of use so suddenly. So many important conversations, documents, and rituals throughout history were done in Latin and now most people would consider you smart just for knowing a couple words or phrases.
Pulchre!
Gratias Vobis ago, Magistri! I'm really impressed.
Che meraviglia ascoltarvi.
¡Holy Garnachas, Batman! I speak spanish and I understood some parts of their conversation. Crazy stuff.
Bravo❤
Dam, that Monsiegnor is confident and almost fluent in Latin... like it's his native language. Amazing.
I speak Brazilian Portuguese and I basically could understand nearly 90% of what was said
90% is very high for Brazilian Portuguese. Do you have understanding of another Romance language like Spanish added on?
I am sure Brazilian Portuguese itself is not up to 90% intelligibility with Latin. Due to the reason Latin is the mother language and the daughter languages have a more difficult time learning that, than they would learning a sibling language. Latin after all connects the dots of the Romance languages.
This is brilliant. You can hear that they really THINK in Latin. Fantastic pronunciation! 🎉best latin video ever

I could listen to it all day

The crazy thing about it, as a native Brazilian-Portuguese speaker, I could understand some words
As a Portuguese native speaker it was amazing to see the language that originated my native language being spoken so casually like this, I usually only listened to Latin in those video where it sounds so robotic. Glad I could understand a lot of what was said there.
I could very much see the appreciation, the joy of the priest of having the conversation with Martianus.
My late uncle was a nuncio and representative of the Holy See under popes Paul VI, JP1 & JPII and latin was the lingua franca in his day, but then he was ordained in the Saint John Lateran all the way back in 1950.
