*applause*

You already know the faults, but the fact that you wrote in the language of the MIGHTY ROMAN EMPIRE makes me award this short story the mildly coveted "Best Foreign Language Story that Paperbullet has Read on FictionPress" award. Hooray!

Estne non Capitulum I?
Isn't it Capitulum I?
Facile Latina est.
It's simple Latin.

...i can't stop laughing. you totally made my day.

WOW. latin. thats..wow. wow. my latin teacher would propose to you. except maybe not cos she's a grammar freak and also the devil. the only thing i can possibly see is conspicit and you translated as catches sight instead of caught sight? isn't that perfect tense? or am i just mixing up cos the only thing i do in my latin class is draw on my converse?! haha. Ecce Romani. i'ma burn my ecce romani book. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE SO RIDICULOUS. my one from last year chapter like 18 (after theyre stuck in the ditch for about 23984733289479 chapters) this dude has pink sandals and sextus has the most hilarious expression on his face. okay. ill shut up now. but...wow.

well done. personally, i would have used 'appellor' instead of 'nomine', and 'Julia' would be spelled 'Iulia' because the Romans did not use 'J'. but i have never seen someone attempt to write a story completely in Latin, so i congratulate you on that.
also, in the question 'Non habitasne in villa rustica?' the traditional sentence structure would dictate that 'habitasne' would occur before 'non' because it states to the reader/listener that the statement will be a question.

hahaha that's happy. I wish I remembered Latin.

Well I don't speak Latin (I wish I could lol) but I speak a couple languages (ie the romantics) so this wasn't too understand cool idea well done dina

OMG it's Ecce Romani! It's so awesome that you wrote an entire story in Latin. It think it's all correct. Benus sounds like Marcus in...chapter 5 I think? Yay Ecce Romani! From your grammar, I think you've probably gotten at least to Latin II. You'll be stuck in the ditch for about nine chapters. Arg, the Scottish.

This is so awesome.

haha im in first yera latin at my school and i was surprised to actually understand most of it (:

Wow, as if I didn't get enough Latin at school. This is actually very good practice for you. LoL. Very interesting story :)

Oh my GOD. That IS Ecce Romani. :fear:

Oh my god! This sounds like Ecce Romani. (shivers) Do not get me wrong. I love the book, but it is very creepy to find someone else in the world reading it. This is cute, but you have some little errors in your grammar. And no, the locative case is not relevant here. "Et esne?" should be "Qui es?" What you wrote actually translates to "and you are, aren't you?" And I do not know about you, but that makes the story a bit too philosophically profound for what it is trying to narrate. Hahaha. Nice work and good luck in Latin.

Latin is the root of all evil.
But it is cool to say that I can read your story written in a dead language.
And Vocitive case is pretty easy to learn.
My Latin teacher would think you're cool for writing this.
