Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Aye, just add "amos" to the end of words, and you're done.

I'm going to eatamos.

Ego phasmus phasmatis mei dux ducis per hic via ingravesco, quamquam atrum, mei phasmus phasmatis volo increbresco.

Anyone know that?

I translated it from a dictionary.

It means:

My spirit is my light that guides me along, and although the road is weary, my spirit will prevail.

I'm pretty sure the word 'No' exists nowhere in Latin.

Can't you say "minime!" - meaning something like "no way" or "you must be kidding"...

Ita vero means "yes" - I remember that... seems weird not having a word for no, though... then again, a language like Russian doesn't have the verb "to be" (in the present tense).

Also grade B at GCSE.

No, v true!

Only phrase I can remember... It's meant to be 'Don't let the bastards grind you down'. Being as I'm not in 3rd anymore, I think the sarcastic comments can be refrained :rolleyes:
