As a native speaker of Portuguese in Brazil , I can only understand some Latin words that are similar to Portuguese. The sentences are, for the most part, unintelligible without having previously studied the Latin language.
In Brazilian Portuguese:
- “Lumen” is translated as “luz”. But "luz" comes from the Latin “lux”. However there are words like “luminoso/luminosa” (luminous) which comes from Latin “lumen”. Furthermore, “lúmem”, plural “lúmens”, is the name given to a unit of measurement of luminous flux.
- "Expellere" is translated as "expelir", which means "to expel". "Expulsar" also exists in Portuguese and has the same root and basically the same meaning despite sometimes being used in different contexts.
- "Amare" is translated as "amar", which means "to love".
- "Anima" could be translated in several ways as it is the root of several words in Portuguese. "alma" (ghost/spirit/essence/soul), "ânimo" (cheer/optimism/encouragement), "animar" (to animate/to move/make it breathe, make it alive), "animal" (animal 🙈), "animação" (animation, anime). Also there are other words with different roots but with the same Latin meaning like "fôlego" (breath), respirar/expirar (to breath) and vida (life/living being).
- "Veni, vidi, vici" is a Latin expression known in Portuguese and is translated as "vim, vi e venci" (I came, I saw and I won).
- "Carpem diem" is also a known Latin expression in Portuguese. "Carpe diem" is part of the Latin phrase "carpe diem quam minimum credula postero", literally "seize the day and trust as little as possible in tomorrow", taken from one of Horace's Odes (65 BC - 8 BC). It is translated as "Aproveite o dia" (take advantage of the day/seize the day/enjoy the day/pluck the day), "Aproveite o momento" (take advantage of the moment), curta o momento (enjoy the moment), "colha o dia" (to weed the day, which is the literal translation. Weed here means to remove wild plants from a place where they are not wanted), etc. Although no one translates it this way, it could also be literally translated as "carpe o dia" since "carpe" became the verb "carpir" (to hoe/to weed) in Portuguese. "Diem" is translated as "day". "Carpem diem", in the original context, which was the period of decline of the Roman Empire, meant taking advantage of what is good in every moment because tomorrow is uncertain. But nowadays it has become a pop culture phrase and is used only in the sense of living happily and carefree.
- “Cogito, ergo sum” is also a Latin expression known in Portuguese. It is translated as "penso, logo existo" (I think, therefore I exist) or "Penso, logo sou" ("I think, therefore I am"). We translate “cogito” as “penso”, which means “I think”, but in Portuguese there is also the verb “cogitar”, which basically means “to think” and which comes from the Latin “cogĭto”. The verb "sou" comes from Latim "sum". "Cogito, ergo sum" is a phrase authored by the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650) and expresses the idea that the ability to think is proof of our existence.
- "Vice versa" is translated as "Vice-versa" 😁in Portuguese and means "reverse" or with the order changed.
"Cogito, logo sou" poderia, facilmente, ser a tradução também. É engraçado que quanto mais estudo o latim, mais sei do português. Acho que se todas no vídeo fossem fluente em latim, poderiam conversar entre si tranquilamente usando suas línguas nativas. Muito doido pensar nisso
@@GomesMaViThat's right! I just wasn't able to find the cognate counterpart of “ergo” in Portuguese.
Tudo bem, mas é 'aproveita', e não 'aproveite'... Faz-se mister conjugar os verbos com correcção.
@@joaodavid2001 as frases são imperativas afirmativas. Então o correto é "aproveite" e não "aproveita".
Depende do sujeito. Caso seja “você” (o comentário foi feito por um brasileiro, portanto, preferiu-se por usá-lo), usa-se “aproveite”. “Aproveita” seria a forma correta caso o sujeito fosse “tu”.
Latin - French 🙄
Amare -> amour ;
Anima -> âme ; you find the latin root in the verb "animer" something that moves by itself.
Veni, vidi, vici -> Venu, vu, vaincu. je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu. it's basically one of the first things you learn in history classes because it is said by Caesar.
Carpe diem -> cueillir le jour ; carpe is used in medical stuffs about the hand "canal carpien".
Cogito ergo sum -> je pense donc je suis ; It's literally said by a french philosopher, Descartes.
Amor is latin for amour in french
Amare is the VERB in Latin.
@@rogeriopenna9014 - amare = infinitive // in dictionary you look for 1st person singular present - amo // amor in latin also means the passive voice - "i am loved"
@@rogeriopenna9014 I was aware of that, the word amour it's just more impactful than the verb aimer for the average non french speaker...
Also the verb "cogiter" exists in french.
@@ziedRegaieg I bet all of those words exist in all languages, it's mostly a matter of how often and how they are used.
Sometimes usage changed to similar but not equal meaning to Latin.
Like iacta in alea iacta rest. It means to throw. But the word survived as jatear (to jet) in Portuguese and probably something very similar in Italian, French and Spanish.

in spain we still use the word "ergo" (therefore), but it's more formal-ish
It can also be used in Portuguese, but to say it you need to be in a very specific situation like presenting a university level philosophical lecture. Otherwise, you'll just sound pretentious.
También la usamos en Hispanoamérica con el mismo significado y la misma connotación formal, aunque no es extraño usarla en conversaciones coloquiales también.
Carpe Diem in portuguese would be something like "Aproveite o dia", which means "Seize the day". "Diem" is "Dia", but "Carpe" would be "Aproveite", which is kind different from the latin word
Achei que tivesse relação com o verbo carpir haha
@@leoni7649 tô feliz que alguém a mais percebeu hahaha
Também temos o verbo carpir que é sinônimo de lamento 😂
Então carpe dia em português significaria o completo oposto do latim
Eu pensei que fosse carpa com alguma coisa sobre dia
Ué! Aprendi que Carpe vem de Carpir. Carpir os frutos do dia, colher os frutos do dia! Aproveitar! 😄
I feel like Laura should have done the whole thing in Catalan, since she’s the only one who speaks it there and we already got 2 other people who spoke Spanish. And in Catalan there are some interesting words she didn’t say like “Llum” for “Luminus”, or “Llumí” which is also related to light, since it means “match” as the stick you light up, which in Spanish is “cerilla”, definitely not similar. Then “Expellere” in Catalan you can say “Expel·lir”. For “Amare” it’s “Estimar” which is not that similar. Then “ànima” she did say. For “Veni, Vidi, Vici” it is “Vaig vindre, vaig veure, vaig guanyar”. And then the following sentences we all just kind of say the sentence in Latin as well. So I feel like it would have been a cool insight, for sure! And linguistically speaking it’s an occitano/gallo-romance language, including french and then Italian, so those two languages are probably the closest ones linguistically speaking…
Estimar in Portuguese is "to give value" or "to guess how much". Your self worth is "auto estima".
@@rogercruz1547 Yeah, in Spanish you can use “estimar” for the things you said too! But not to refer to the verb “to love”. Even though I’m a native speaker of both Spanish and Catalan I had never thought about those two words being the same but having different meanings, it just never crossed my mind 😂
anima and expeler
only 9 million speak catalan
@@delmo3580 The video is about romance languages, and Catalan is the 6th most spoken romance language, and the most spoken one on a non-national level. 9 million is not that little of a number if we remember it’s practically double the number of speakers Norwegian has. And it’s spoken by more people than at least half the languages spoken in Europe.
Latim/Portuguese = cogito, ergo sum = Penso, logo existo/penso, logo sou. Cogito from VERB in portuguese COGITAR.
Bro você tem que explicar o que signfica 'Cogitar' em português, que é o mesmo que 'Questionar' e ninguém questionar sem Pensar, portanto são as mesmas coisas.
Yeah, so, basically, the translation for veni vidi vici in French is : "je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu"
Not : je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai **gagné**
The french girl here said that it was "J'ai gagné", I won.
But this is not the right word
Vaincu is the conjugation of the word "vaincre" which is not that far from the Latin "vincere"
"Gagner" generally means a gain, a profit, the acquisition of something
"vaincre" is more for military stuff, like you win a battle by fighting.
They definitely need to get a better French girl. She knew just about nothing! Someone with a stronger vocabulary would have been able to connect the etymologies easily.
@@Zenigundam exactly...
@@Zenigundam Right?! She didn’t seem to be aware of 'cogiter' either.
Sooo happy to notice that I am not the only one thinking the french girl was not very well chosen for this exercise xD
Amare... aimer...
Cogito...cogiter
Come on gurl, french is also sooo similar to latin 😢
Elle est vraiment pas terrible la jeune femme. C’est clair qu’elle est plus Anglophone d’origine française.
By the way, we have the word lume in Portuguese, it's a bit old fashioned word for firelight but it appears in some compound words like vagalume (firefly) and alumiar (to lighten).
old fashioned word?????
Comida ao lume; fazer lume na lareira,
A palavra é bastante usada
@@carlos5011 pode depender de onde você está, pois eu quase nunca ouço. Aliás, sou brasileiro e não moro no Sul, então nunca vi uma lareira kkkk se fosse uma palavra de uso tão corrente, a menina do vídeo teria lembrado-se dela
In Spain, in the region of Galicia, we speak spanish, of course, but also "galego" (gallego, galician). In galego, "fuego" (fire) is "lume". 🙂
Iluminar

Also, "Cogitare" in Latin means "to think". It originated "cogitar" in Portuguese, but with the meaning of "to suppose" to describe hypothetical situations.
And there is cogiter, in french. It means also means to think.
In Portuguese it can be also used as "consider", como em "eu cogitei te chamar" that would be translated as "i considered calling you"
The mexican girl was embarrased because the word sounds similar to "coger", which in Spain *only* has the original meaning of "take, fetch" but somehow in The Americas it got the meaning of "to fuck", and we Spaniards don't know why.
@@BlackHoleSpain bc a person is taking someone’s flower. Pretty straightforward unfortunately xD

6:21 JAJAJAJAJA la cara de la mexicana cuando la brasileña decía "cogito"
Yo también tendría problemas para aguantar la risa
In Spain is not a problem, because "coger" here means only "agarrar". Here doesn't have the sexual meaning that I know it has in Latin America. I don't really know why or when it adquired that meaning in Iberoamérica.
Having said that, the truth is "cogito" is "una palabra esdrújula", that means it's tonic syllabe is the third counting from the end of the word, so it's not "cogito", but "cógito" (COgito)
Cogito ergo sum => Pienso, luego existo
(Descartes)
XDD
@@migteleco I've learned a a new world in Spanish: esdrújula. Means something entirely different in Portuguese though
@@hqsmutantes6261 A new ¿world? you mean "word" I guess 😅
What does it mean "esdrújula" in Portuguese then? 🤔
(Fun fact: "esdrújula" is itself una palabra esdrújula, and that's why is accented)
@@migteleco basicaly its something really weird
"Ánima" still exists in Spanish too, along with "alma" but is not widely used anymore. "Ánima" is more used to mean "ghost" (of dead people) than "soul" ("alma", which includes both alive and dead people). It appears tough in a lot of Spanish literature of the XIX century. I recommend very much the short Spanish gothic tale "El monte de las ánimas" by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870), usually translated to English as "The mount of the souls" , "Mountain of souls" or even as "The spirits' mountain".
The Latins with "ANIMA" meant things that could move and interact, such as men and ANIMALS
@@erosgritti5171 Do you mean "Latinos" or "Latin language"? In any case you are right, I shuold have mentioned that it also applies for animals and other specific cases, not only people (both in Latin America and in Spain). I just went for the most common case to make things simpler. Thank you.
I still say ánimas, so it's not that's is not widely used, a lot of people say it. I can say that one, like I say alma, or espíritu or whatever. But i also was thinking about Bécquer when they said that word, that was a good example.
@@erosgritti5171But one thing is the verb animar (yo animo, tú animas, él/ella anima...), and a different thing is the word ánima, that i think it's the meaning and word we talk about here.
i like that Latin sounds closer to Portuguese than French xD
French is the most different latin language...the hardest one to understand amongst the others.
French is the most distant among the latin languages family. I know cause I speak spanish, french and a little portuguese and french is the weirdest lol
Actually French sounds close to Latin depending on the words we use. Older the word is, closer to Latin it is. But in France those words are considered old fashionned like "cogiter".
@@matiasreinoso1723 In terms of grammar, structure, vocabulary, French is not different at all. Only the phonology is different, so it SOUNDS different, but it's not. French and Italian are closer than Spanish and Italian for exemple.
Learning Latin is in my bucket list. Our mother language. I love it!

If anyone is curious about which modern Spanish or Portuguese word that derived from Latin carpe (carpere), it’s “carpir”, but carpir doesn’t have the meaning of “enjoy” anymore
I'm brazilian, and I never heard or read the word "carpir", but I know "caipira" and specially "caipirinha".
@@PedroLCogoy carpir de "carpir a grama". Hoje carpir tem o mesmo sentido de capinar
I thought it'll be something more like capturar (capture). So I thought carpe diem was captura el día (capture the day or seize the day).

Latin - Portuguese:
Lumin -> Luz
Expellere -> Expulsar
Amare -> Amar
Anima -> Alma
Veni, Vidi, Vici -> Vim, Vi, Venci
Carpe diem -> Aproveite o dia
Cogito ergo sum -> Penso, logo existo
Vice Versa -> Vice-versa
"Lumin" was not spelled correctly, it should be "lumen". The other root "lux, lucis" you still find in the female name "Lucie" or "Lucy" or "Lucia".

I like this because I’m learning all these Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian) except for Portuguese. But even in my country Indonesia these Latin phrases are used a lot within academic contexts, so I’m kind of surprised that these ladies were not familiar with some of them. Among these languages, French is the language I’m most comfortable with, so:
0:51 I think it’s actually _lumen_ in Latin? Yes, it’s _lumière_ in French.
1:30 Ah _expellere_ is a weird conjugation to choose from in Latin, but yeah _espellere_ in Italian is the most similar while French _expulser_ is a bit farther.
2:30 Why didn’t you show their full reaction? Instead of _amare_ it would’ve been better to have _amo_ in Latin, as it is in its infinitive form would be _amare_ in Italian and _amar_ in Spanish and _aimer_ in French.
2:49 Yeah _anima_ in Latin is a bit tricky to guess because it’s _âme_ in French and _alma_ in Spanish, but in Italian they have both _alma_ and _anima_ with slightly different meanings.
3:49 Again “Veni vidi vici” is tricky to trace from French, but the French version would be something like “Je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu” which is a mouthful and not as easy as “Venni, vidi, vinsi” in Italian which is so much clearer.
4:48 I feel like _carpe diem_ is something that you would see on motivational posters in every school on the planet and is better to leave as is, it doesn’t need to be translated 😄
5:37 Well actually “Cogito ergo sum” in Latin came later, because the original version was “Je pense donc je suis” in French because it was first introduced by French philosopher René Descartes 😅
6:56 Latin _vice versa_ is the easiest because all the Romance languages use it in its original form.
'je suis' is similar to the Portuguese writing and pronunciation of Jesus.
In Brazil, in Brazilian Portuguese people speak 'Gêzuis' or 'Gêzûs'.
This sound and etc... like 'Je Sui'
'Je sui' is Freanch is like: I'am?
'Ego Sum', in Portuguese: Eu Sou ( I'Am )/ je sui; This is the mystical meaning of the name Jesus
@@yoannes6882 is not the same prononciation because the "e" is not "ê" but like the vowel in this english article : "th(e)" or this preposition : "(a)bout or this vowel in german "ö" , so it's the "schwa sound" and then the "s" at the end is silent : jö swi

old latin is a specific developmental stage of latin (before 75 BC) that precedes classical latin and it's different. i'm not a linguist and cannot say about all the examples shown but veni, vidi, vici and carpe diem are in classical latin aka the one that is studied the most in schools. also cogito ergo sum is from the 1600 by DesCartes
I like the French girl, but she embarass me a lot. We have words similar to the other romance languages even though they're not really used anymore and considered old fashionned. But come on "Amare" is "Aimer" and we have the word "Cogiter" in French. Also "Cogito ergo sum" is citation of René Descartes

I speak only English, but guessed most of the early ones through my vague memory of French lessons. The "anima" one I know sort of is used in English sort of, but I am not really in that world, so I was unsure. The later ones are just well known among people trying to sound like sophisticated, so I didn't even have to guess.
You know many more words of Latin origin than you are aware of. A lot of English words have Latin roots - many came to English from Old French via the Normans. Try this for fun: take a paragraph from a book and look up the etymology of each word. You may be surprised.
Good going, Julia! 🙂

This is kinda funny cause it is like a living example of the evolution of the "Dialect continuum", the languages developed furthest from the italian peninsula are very different from latin and the closest ones (like catalan or italian itself) are the most similar ones. The french case is especially interesting since they are the latins more mixed with germanic people.
About carpe diem which can be translated as reap the day
In Portuguese when we weed we use the term: carpir, so in a way the term has stayed true to Latin
Carpir exists, but sometimes informally, when we say that someone removes grass, we say Ele Carpe, but there is no official compression of the verb Carpir
Carpe diem is usually used as is in Brazil. But you can translate it to "curta o momento" (enjoy the moment)

4:03 would be « je suis venu, j’ai vu, j’ai vaincu » in French.
To win is indeed « gagner » but to conquer would be « vaincre »
Not exactly. Conquer means firtstly "conquérir", which can be related to people but more to the land or a country. "Vaincre" is mainly (excuse my poor english) related to an opponent and firtstly in War. Precisely like Jules César did. In French we could Say: Jules César a conquis la Gaule et il a vaincu les gaulois.
4:07 NO, in French we would say "je suis VENU, j'ai VU et j'ai VAINCU" (VENIR= to come, VOIR= to see, VAINCRE= to defeat)
I believe the French word relating to ‘vici’ in the quote “Veni, vidi, vici” is ‘vaincre’ which is related to the Latin word ‘vincere’ meaning ‘to conquer’ or ‘to defeat’ ?
"Cogito ergo sum" "je pense donc je suis" is a famous sentence from René Descartes, french philosopher, writter and scientist. It resumes his concept of the "cartesian doubt"
The trench girl has the flag upside down
But do you think it's easy to know the right direction when your flags are just made of colored stripes without any indication of direction? 😂😂😂

Cogito Ergo Sum : Je pense donc je suis (j'existe). The "Cogito" is something that was described by René Descartes. This is the expression that was used to describe the "doute hyperbolique" (hyperbolic doubt?). With it, you can doubt about anything, even the entirety of what your senses show you. There is no empirical experiences that are true. The only single truth that nobody can deny is that "Cogito Ergo Sum" = Je pense donc je suis = I think, then I am. If I can say in my mind "I am" it means there is something. What is it? "I". Some would link that "I" to the Freud's "Self" but the Self is more complexe and does not take in consideration the hyperbolic doubt.
The only single truth I can believe without hesitating is "I exist because I can say it in my mind". My mother? Who knows if she exists or if she was made by me, in my mind. TH-cam? Who knows if it was also a creation of my mind. This comment I am writing? The phone I am using? The fingers that are typing this? The cells that compose these fingers? Nothing can be said to be 100% certain according to Descartes and its expression "Cogito Ergo Sum".
I study Latin in University - it opens the doors to so many great things especially from the past.
I took it up as a hobby. Its interesting-its like i had to take a crash course in grammar and history while learning vocab, bc context has changes so much from 200BC to AD1500
The French girl doesn't know the famous words of René Descartes?
Yeah. She is not obliged to study philosophy, or descartes' work.
I was a little devastated by this, however, if it was indeed Descartes who used the formula "cogito ergo sum", we especially know the formula translated into French "je pense donc je suis".
What saddened me is that our young compatriot does not see the connection between "vici" and "gagner", but she forgets that there is the verb "vaincre" in French which is used in the formula "je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu (veni, vidi, vici)".
It's also true that in France, we use the formula "carpe diem" more than its French translation "cueille le jour" which is nevertheless pretty.
@@nathalisilva9683 It's general culture, I'm not even from Europe and I know who said it and what it means...
I think this is rather sad. Poor Descartes!
Almost all french study philosophy@@nathalisilva9683

pr-br here: "Carpe diem" ... diem = dia/day. Carpe I'm clueless. It does sound like "carpet" as the mexican girl pointed out. Something about crops maybe? To seize / to take it all, like harvest. Maybe "colher" (with closed E sound, not "colher" with open E because that's a spoon (yes, same word, different pronunciation, different meaning)). "Colha o dia"?
"Colha o dia" is my best bet here.
In Italian we definitely translate carpe diem and we say “cogli l’attimo”
even though we have the verb "carpire": nowadays it has mainly a negative connotation.
Infatti non ho capito perché abbia detto che lo diciamo solo così quando in realtà, spesso lo traduciamo anche.
6:30 c'est de Descartes!! un français…. mais c'est bien traduit
In Spanish we also have ánima in the dictionary. Not only in Catalonian. It's basically a synonym of alma, soul. Although it's more used in poems rather than spoken, street language. Veni, vidi, vinci sounds perfectly fine in Spanish, I don't know why these girl say the contrary: vine, vi, vencí. The verbs are correct, they have meaning, and they are understandable, they have context, so I don't know why these girls jumped immediately to the conclusion that in Spanish doesn't sound correct. Cogito ergo sum, pienso luego soy. It's very easy. Oh man, maybe I'm over critical with them?
Some of these can be directly translated to Spanish.
Latin:
Vini, Vidi, Vinci
Spanish:
"Vine, Vi, Venci"
Latin:
Carpe Diem
Spanish:
"Capta el Dia"
Some were direct translations like "anima". In Spanish can refer to a soul, but more often talking about a ghost. Its a very OLD use term though. Something a grandmother or priest would use (common phrase: "anima en pena"; means "suffering soul"). Today its more common to use "alma" for soul and fantasma for "ghost".
Its also the root of "animate" which in Spanish is usually a verb meaning to stay positive or become lively.
Cogito is the most difficult to translate because there's no modern direct word. Perhaps its the origin of the word "cogo" which means to grab, but could be used I suppose to say "Ya lo cogi" (I got it; understood it).
El verbo cogitar existía en castellano antiguo con el significado de reflexionar o meditar. Pero siguen existiendo palabras como: cogitabundo (muy pensativo); cogitativo (que tiene facultad de pensar); cogitación (acción y efecto de cogitar).

There are two words for light in Latin: lúmen and lúx. Italian and Spanish luz and luce both come from lúx
But adjectives like "luminoso" come from "lumen".
Bring back Italian Giulia
Todas re lindas pero la chica mexicana es hermosa.
We have a word in portuguese that is derived from the "carpe" in "carpe diem", which is the verb "carpir". The meaning has slightly changed, though. And dia for "diem" in latin, obviously.
In Spanish, "alma" "anima", you can use both, but anima is more formal I would say, so usually you will hear "alma" instead of "anima".
About "lumen" "lux" in Latin, in Spanish you can say "luminoso" a place with a lot of light
They don't really say it in the video, but amare, is amar in Spanish.
cogito ergo sum, in Spanish would be, "pienso ergo existo", "ergo" it exist in Spanish too like a synonym of "luego" but it is very formal so you will hear for sure "pienso luego existo"
The Mexican girl when said cogito would have double meaning, is because "coger" "cogido" in Latin America have a sexual meaning, not is Spain cos is commonly used like "take" in English.
A gente tb pode ser feliz sem passar tanta ansiedade e desespero por fazer parte de algo.
Ela já está participando, não precisa lutar tanto o tempo inteiro. Sou brasileira e fiquei meio constrangida.
4:00 "Veni, Vidi, Vici" is in French "Je suis venu. J'ai vu. J'ai vaincu".
That's pretty much the same.
you should do a video comparing catalan and italian, they are almost more similar than catalan and spanish
I have notice that the french girl tend to say" oh we don't say that or it's different but when she heard the other said it ,she like " Oh yes,we have something similar like for "Amare " when the french version would be aimer while amour would be amore and " Veni vidi vici" would be "Je suis venu j'ai vu j'ai vaincu .So you can see some similarities with "venu et veni" and "vici and vaincu"
Le pire c'est Descartes le" je pense donc je suis" .... Cogito ergo sum (Cogito- Cogiter qu'elle n'a pas pu trouver)
She’s not very bright, I wonder how she got on the show 😂😂
For the French translation of *Veni vidi Vici*, **4:12**, it would be more Je suis venu (i came) j’ai vu (I saw) j’ai vaincu (I conquered*
Not conquered. Or else he would have Say it : "j'ai conquis" which is different. I would have translate: "I have defeated"
The Brazilians are always the most charismatic and intelligent. The leaders.
The most annoying speaking all the time lmao
« Veni, vidi, vici » in french : « Je suis venu nettoyer les cabinets ».
Wich means : « I came to clean the toilets ».
This is the translation of a humorist, Pierre Desproges. It's a play on words: Venu (Veni), vider (vidi), WC (vici): come, empty, WC.
3:40 Look at the Mexican's girl gesture when the Italian girl mentions her professor. LOL.
anyone else realized the french girl had the french flag the wrong way or just me?
On a tous vu. Et on tous déçus d'elle...
We also have "torta" in portuguese, but it means pie, not cake like spanish
i'll add all the things that weren't mentioned by the italian girl(i'm bad at remembering names the first time , sorry).
1) We still have the word Lume for Light like "Serata a lume di candela"=" evening date with the light of the candel" but it's rarely used. Edit: now that i think about it , we have a lot common words that use it as a prefix. Example : Luminoso="Bright/full of lights"; Illuminato=Enlighted
2) even tough in Italian Amare is Amare , so it's the same , i can understand why the french girl said sea because in italian sea=mare and Amare is A + mare. i don't how it is in french but i think it's similar
3) Veni,vidi,vici = Venire,Vedere,Vincere
4) The philosopher she was talking about is Cartesio (one of my favorites). Cogito means thinking but we still kinda have it in this form , for example like "Es*cogit*are" ="Thinking of something (like a plan)".The stars are just let it be more visble.
5) Vice versa i didn't even know it was latin , i thought it was Italian
Cartesio was "René Descartes" who was indeed a french philosopher. In Spanish we use his original name, though.
@@BlackHoleSpaini forgot to translate him
Another thing I noticed is that “I came I saw I conquered” is all pass tense. If you do the passato remoto of venire vedere and vincere it would be “venni, vidi, vinsi” which is almost identical.
Veni, Vidi, Vici in french would be "je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu" so i'd say it's still quite similar
Veni vedi vici in french would be: venu vu vaincu
The literal translation of « cogito ergo sum » is “I am a thinking being” so in french it is “Je suis un être pensant”. It is a sentence from a philosopher called Descartes who advocates that humans can prove that they exist by the fact that they can think. That’s it for fun fact !
The most efficient way to translate "carpe diem" to Portuguese would be "aproveita o dia" (or "aproveite o dia" if using você). The verb "carpo" in Latin meaning "seize" or "grab" turned into "carpir" in Portuguese, which means "to harvest bad weeds", "tear off impurities" or "to mourn", so it would be inappropriate to say "carpe o dia" even though it is its direct descendent.
Veni, vedi, vici in French is usually translated as "Je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu", so somewhat close !
Veni, vidi, vici ----> Je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu !
As an American, I think the Brazilian language is the most beautiful in the world because I don't know if they are speaking or singing, it's very beautiful, I'm trying very hard to learn
I'm Romanian and you didn't have anyone to represent our language in the video, so are are my guesses:
1. lumin - light (Ro: lumină)
2. expellere - to expel (Ro: a expulza, but it is not very used)
3. amare - to love (Ro: the verb is of slavic origin, "a iubi", but we have the "amor" meaning love as a noun). Also "amare" in Romanian actually means bitter lol but I don't think it had that meaning in Latin.
4. anima - soul, or heart (Ro: inimă=heart)
5. veni, vedi, vici - came, saw, won (Ro: a veni=to come, a vedea=to see, a învinge=to win)
6. carpe diem - I know from school it means ”seize the day” but otherwise I wouldn't understand "carpe". (Ro: zi=day; we translate "carpe diem" as "trăiește clipa”=live in the moment)
7. cogito ergo sum - I think, therefore I am (Ro: cuget, deci exist; "sum" can aslo translate as "sunt") I also know this one from school but it's easy to understand anyway.
8. vice versa - in reverse, the other way around. In Romanian we use the exact same words as in Latin.
In Romania it's compulsory to study basic Latin for one year in 7th or 8th grade, then in high school it's only taught in the "humanistic" programs. Personally I had to study it for all 4 years of high school and it was difficult but most of us didn't take it vary seriously do we don't remember much grammar, only random words. So a similar experience to the Italian girl in the video.
This Julia, is a little too present and doesn't let the other girls interact and talk
She is soooo brazilian. I love.
love Latin
The french also use Tourte and Tarte, which are round baked salt and sweet. It's close to spanish torta. No idea why she does not mention it
La Mexicana, Fransesa , Brasileña y Italiana son tan hermosas 😍😍
