A FELLOW LATIN FREAK!!!!!!  WHOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

Actually, wait a second.  "Mattie we are loved family!!!! Mattie we are loved friends!!!!"?  If you want to use "amamur" which to the best of my knowledge is first person plural, present indicative passive, you would have to say "Familiae Mattia amamur,"  which would be translated "We the family are loved my Mattie", and just pretend that I created a Latin name/word "Mattia, Mattiae, Mattie,"  and that there is a macron on the second "a" in "Mattia," and one on the second "a" in "amamur." But if you wanted to say "Mattie loves her family!!!! Mattie loves her friends!!!!" you would say "Mattia [[again, I'm using the new name/word]] amas familiam!!!! Mattia amas amicos amicasque!!!!" because I'm assuming you're referring to both male and female friends.

 

Wouldn't the last one be: Mattia amat (amo, amas, amat)? That's what I vaguely remember, but it's been a long time since I studied Latin.

AAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!  Foot in mouth  OWWWTCH!!!! Embarassed  You're right, Admin!  How did I do that???  After five years of Latin, the best I can do is "Mattie you love your family"? Which, in retrospect, actually works grammatically, if "Mattia" is vocative, but then I'm adressing Mattie to say "You love your family," which isn't what I meant at all.  Thank you for the correction! Dodo! (Not, you, me.)

@Leaf-- See! I've learned not to always trust that because I once embarrassed myself badly in German by looking it up. On Google Translate, if you say "your dog" they always use plural (votre chien) because the computer is too dumb to decide. I try to change it because I'm taking French.

Well, it's taken me awhile to post my description on here.  So, here goes.

My name is Leaf, and I am best known for swinging on my tree.  However, I also enjoy playing violin, piano, writing, singing, and reading.  I participated in both NaNoWriMo last year and Script Frenzy this year, and won both.  I enjoy a lot of books, but the ones I like most are the ones that make me think and question things, and also the ones with layered characters.  And good villains.  Gotta love those villains! :)  I've been playing violin for a little over 10 years, and piano for almost 5 years.  I sing in the choir at my school and hope to take voice lessons soon.  I enjoy learning new things, so I actually enjoy school!  Though I am happy it's almost summer... :)  I enjoy playing music with other people.  I'm in an orchestra and this summer (as well as the past two summer) I'm going to a chamber music camp in New Hampshire.  Oh, I almost forgot.  I also love (x10) musicals.  I enjoy anything Sondheim, Disney on Broadway (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), Les Misérables (<3 <3), Wicked, anything Sherie René Scott, anything Bernadette Peters, etc.  I also love classical music and folk music.  And the Beatles!  I love the Beatles. :)  Anyway, that's me in a nutshell.  I've been on here for a little over a year, but I was reading the CB since the beginning.

 

(P.S. For those who are wondering, Leaf is not my real name.  The real name will not be disclosed on the internet, so I will forever on here be known as Leaf.)

Hello. I'm Mathilda, but most of my older posts were under the name "Lovely Lunegood". I love reading, but I spend most of my time listening to my 1,00 GB of music. My favorite bands right now are The Dead Kennedys and Iwrestledabearonce. I've been playing guitar since I was 7, and I can play any Green Day song you ask me to. Do I love Green Day? Well, their old stuff was pretty epic, but their past two albums have been kind of…meh. Honestly, I just felt like being able to say that I could play all of GD's discography. If you call me "emo", and you're not my best friend, you won't last long. That applies to my family too. Just kidding. Kind of. I love safety pins, YouTube, and anime. My favorite anime shows are Death Note and Bleach. The Regular Show, The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Metalapocolypse, and King Of The Hill are the only TV shows I agree to watch. The rest sucks donkeys. My nails are always painted either black or silver, and I haven't taken off my Black Veil Bides wristband since the day I got it. BYEE! Oh, and I'm nocturnal, so I'm posting this at 1:30 AM.
