Die temu ad die

Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.

It accidentally is latin

Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.

Found this in the margins of a medieval manuscript.

This is a very charming illustration and I do approve of Accidental Latin, but unfortunately, that is not what this (Fake) Accidental Latin actually says. Google Translate seems to think "temu" is identical to "timor" (infinitive, "to fear"), which would then be conjugated in first-person singular as "timeo" ("I fear"). "Temu" is not a word in Latin. So that is a very weird leap on Google Translate's part to turn gibberish into... something vaguely etymologically similar sounding? Hmm.

Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)

Not to mention, it would be weird to put one "die" at the start and another at the end The verb also usually goes at the end in Latin sentences, just for that extra bit of fun. So yes, in short, this is not actually Latin, and Google Translate is very bad at Latin in particular. Nonetheless, still charming.

Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking “die ad die” apart. It’s a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I can’t think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!

qqueenofhades

Ah, that is true. My Latin is of the reading-medieval-documents (particularly charters and/or chronicles) variety, where the sentence and usage structures are often more formulaic and there is less poetic license to move words around. There is obviously far less fixity for word order in Latin, since the conjugations explain how they grammatically relate to each other rather than placement in the sentence. (Coincidentally, this is why I used to say that the best feeling in the world was walking past a Latin classroom and not having to go inside it. Ahem.)

So yes: true that poetical Latin might be more at liberty to split the "die"-s up that far, though "timeo" (verb) is still more likely in most cases to go at the end, which would place them together anyway ("die ad die timeo," "day to day I fear" if translated in strict word order, which would make sense to an English speaker and sound more poetic anyway). Keep in mind, however, that my Latin is a) fairly rusty and b) mostly used for said formulaic legal document reading rather than freeform verse, so don't super-hard quote me on this.

sekkitsune

I saw that ablative “die” and that final -u on “temu” and thought of the ablative supine (as in “mirabile dictu”) but as you observe, there isn’t a verb that “temu” could be, and then also, the ablative supine requires an adjective, as far as I know.

But perhaps “temu” is a hapax legomenon (in which case we would need the rest of the text to gloss it) or a scribal error for temeratu, from temero, “I defile or disgrace”. In that case, and in true Tumblr form, I might translate it as “daily I disgrace, in the manner of the day”, with some errors attributable to the scribe.

qqueenofhades

....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.

laurenthemself

how dare you say we error on the scribes

jtimu

this is what happens when you buy your latin on temu

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

I thought of a mystery maybe tumblr can solve and if it can I will be STUNNED. Hundreds of years ago, when blockbusters roamed the land, I remember we would rent whatever anime we could get our hands on cause in those days anime was a rare and precious commodity. We got one dub of... something. I have no idea what. I barely remember it AT ALL. It was definitely set in regular modern Japan. It was some kind of shounen. And I just remember cracking up at this stupid line with a serious adult character from a shady business? Corporation? Having a crush on his secretary but played completely straight. And he tries to very seriously flirt with her by saying Good job on those staples. Right in the corner. Just where I like them. And she's like thank you sir and leaves and he just stands there, very serious, like.... god why am I like this. I think of this whenever I'm stapling and get a perfect corner, and also whenever I am also trying to flirt.

Is your blorbo's love unrequited? Can they deal with that healthily?

Is your blorbos love unrequited?

Yes, they don’t cope with it well

Yes, they’re coping well

No, but they wouldn’t cope well if it was

No, but they’d be able to cope alright if it was

Remaining time: 6 days 15 hours

#max is absolutely in unrequited love #i don't think they're mad at river specifically #i think they just feel trapped. and then feel upset at themself for feeling trapped because that's unworthy of the officer they know they a #on and on in a horrible self-hating (and sometimes aubrey-hating) cycle

When writing always remember… a character flaw is only a flaw until becomes useful.

Is your protagonist manipulative? Well that’s awful… until they manipulate the antagonist into making a decision that saves the lives of their friends.

Is your protagonist a skeptic? Well that’s not good… until someone tries to lie to them.

Is your protagonist overprotective? That sucks… until someone they love is in danger.

Is your protagonist remorseless? Well that makes them pretty unlikeable… until a hard decision has to be made.

The flipside is also true!

Your protagonist is honest? That’s good… until their survival depends on them being able to lie convincingly.

Your protagonist is brave? That’s good… until they foolishly run headlong into danger without a thought for the consequences.

Your protagonist is forgiving and able to see good in everyone? That’s good… until they continually forgive someone who doesn’t deserve it, and get taken advantage of because they can’t fathom that some people just suck.

Your protagonist is funny? That’s good… until they piss off everyone around them because they don’t seem to be taking the situation seriously, and they keep avoiding dealing with their problems by hiding behind humor.

Most personality traits aren’t inherently good or bad. It’s all about context, and how far they go.
