5.0 out of 5 stars Bene bene..., 23 Nov 2005

By	Kurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (London, SW1) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This wonderful little book was presented to me many years ago after I had completed a Latin seminar. It was a wonderful gift, and I have found much use for the various phrases, and an extraordinary amount of humour that can be derived from the blandest of statements when translated into Latin. For example, the innocuous phrase 'Darn! There goes my beeper!' becomes quite funny in Latin:

Heu! Tintinnuntius meus sonat!

One has visions of Caesar fumbling through his tunic for some beeping object.

So, if you need a little Latin on the golf course (Alterum ictum faciam); on the tennis court (minime latum!), at the beach when spotting a shark (Pistrix! Pistrix!), or you just need to say Illud Latine dici non potest (you can't say that in Latin), you'll be prepared with this volume.

It even comes with a section on what to say when at the Vatican (where it might truly come in handy). For instance you might need to say 'Ubi possum potiri petasi similis isti?' when passing a cardinal or nun (translation: Where can I get a hat like that?).

5.0 out of 5 stars Illud iterum dicere potes!, 6 Dec 2005

By	Kurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (London, SW1) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Latin for All Occasions (Hardcover)

Heu! Tintinnuntius meus sonat!

One has visions of Caesar fumbling through his tunic for some beeping object.

So, don't waste your time on watching reruns of Insula Gilliganis or game shows such as Periculum and Rota Fortunae -- pick up this book today, and merge the worlds past and present.

Die dulci fruere. (Have a nice day.)
