And is there something like a ranking of the most well-known phrases? Find out together.

Where is she now?

First, it should be noted that the scope of Latin, it is very, very narrowed. Yes, there was the medicine – it's a classic, some elements are preserved in the law (no wonder that students are forced to learn functional and beautiful words in the Latin language), some linguistic universities insist that students possessed at least the lexical minimum of Latin. And what about the normal person who is not a specialist? Where he can meet Latin?

Latin times: the same sound - slightly different meanings

It often happens that the beautiful Latin words and their meaning in the Russian language is not quite the same. I'm talking now about borrowing in legal and medical, for example, spheres. That is a well-known word "alibi" in Latin has a value of “elsewhere” Yes, very, very close to our interpretation, but still felt that there was a difference. In contrast, such words are borrowings, which completely changed its semantics: the Alma mater, which translates as “mother-nurse”, in the Russian language used to refer to University, in which someone is trained, they say, begins here adult life and independent way, a breastfeeding mother sends their children to the right path – that is, the interpretation already does. And there are words that are completely retained its meaning, acquiring Russian light shade evaluation: casus, for example, in the original language – "the case", then how are we using that word, I mean the case, which is not usual, but it was unfamiliarity and, perhaps, confusion, moreover, it is usually something embarrassing. Thus, it is possible to say that the beautiful Latin words with translation of its Russian-speaking very close in value. But it happens not always?

Latin two: for our

The Next category of Latin borrowings, which would like to talk, almost completely adapted to the Russian language phrase. Some beautiful Latin words have become so well known that even though people understand invasionist their origin, further explain they do not need – it's something like a genetic memory. This could include Memento mori - "Remember death," In vino veritas - "Truth in wine" Veni, vidi, vici - "I Came, I saw, I conquered". For some reason these combination of words especially liked the first of the intelligentsia, which has brought them in Russian language from classical literature, and then the rest of the population. To explain why, of the entire array of Latin vocabulary chose them very difficult, the main thing - to understand that something from the dead, but the beautiful language we were still able to adapt himself.

Latin three: well, that is not the topic

Of Course, is the most extensive layer of vocabulary of Latin is the word in Russian is the word, meaning they have one but are pronounced and written, they are absolutely different. Such examples are dozens, if not hundreds - lux ("light"), astra ("star" - here, by the way, it is possible to note that the word in Russian it's all but completely changing its meaning), vita ("life"). And in the other languages these words can be used in the same manner and with the same value.

Latin names

Is it possible to use a beautiful Latin words with translation for the name of a private company, for example? Why not. The only wish that it was vivid and memorable, ideally the original – that is not geeky associations of the Russian-speaking person, otherwise it will definitely distort your title, no matter how beautiful it may be, turning it into some nonsense.

beautiful Latin words for the names

And of course remember about the meaning of the word. Euphemistically translated as Fatum "fate, destiny", usually implying something not very nice, hence the word “fatal”, known to us. You would trust, for example, organising your summer holiday firm with the same name? A holiday for your children? That's what it is. Moreover, even if a promising title it sounds good, its value is acceptable for your enterprise, think about your target audience. Ad manum - at hand – it's the name for the company, providing repair services, but you are sure that your customers will be able to remember it?

Beautiful Latin word for the name – the idea, of course, is amazing: you will definitely stand out from competitors, attract attention, might even amuse their ego (see, when in conversation, people casually throws that he runs the company Non solus, you immediately imagine a serious enterprise, even if in fact this is the “Non solus”, translated as "not alone" is a cheap eatery on the corner). So think twice whether the game is worth the candle.

Latin as a way to perpetuate

Go ahead. The Latin word, beautiful, strong, inspirational people love to perpetuate in their tattoos, the engravings on the rings – where they will remain for a very long time. There is a tinge of snobbery: I choose the language that most do not know that people asked me what it means and I'll explain. Admit there is a bit of that. Plus the desire to look higher than the others, which was already mentioned earlier, - the Latin, because the ancient language, his knowledge has always been considered a sign of belonging to high class often aristocratic names for their generic slogans chose quotes it in Latin.

Tattoo

But as they say, ad rem, to the point. The choice of expression depends entirely on your imagination and preferences. You can get a little doomed Amor non est medicabilis herbis "love herbs not treated" and proud Aquila non captat muscas - "the eagle does not catch flies." Has not been canceled and famous quotes, for example, platonovo Bellum omnium contra omnes - "the war against all" or Desipere in loco - "crazy, where appropriate", which belongs to Horace. The Internet offers a huge number of options, among which everyone will certainly choose something for yourself – a tender or domineering, cold-calm or showing passion. Latin – an endless source of delightful expressions.

Engravings

Beautiful Latin words used in the engravings, creating the impression of reliability, a certain sacredness – they sound like the oath as a confirmation of the permanence of feelings. That is why expressions like Gens una sumus ("we are one tribe") or nocte et Mane ("morning and night") will definitely make a good impression, underlining its importance for you. The main thing-to find really the right word, and not what just sounds good.

A Little about reading: consonants and their combinations

As a conclusion and a bonus - some rules that read beautiful words in Latin – you don't want to make mistakes when reading their tattoos, for example?

beautiful words in Latin

First, in Latin there is no letter combination “j”: -j - reads-y-, to which is added the subsequent vowel (Julius - Julius), it may be replaced by -i-, which will perform the same function (kyrie - Kyrie). The most part of consonants are read in the same way as in English, and -W - in this language, and absent. In the letters -bs - and -bt - first the sound stunned, turning into -R- (plebs - plePs). A sound -r - in Latin is very similar to the growling Russian-R-, while -V is closer to the deaf, English -w- (vino - Wine). -s - indicates only that sound (Sanctus - Sanctus), no -z-and -g - in Latin not is soft (gloria, Gloria). Borrowed from the Greek -ch-, -ph-, -th - read as –, f, t, respectively (christum - cristom, phobos - Phobos, sabaoth - Sabaoth).
