    So improbably wrong, but i think Farre means to drag low, and alta volen means to fly high, now together they mean something like "being willing to bear flying high", but the guild named that thinks it means "dragging low that which flies high". Im writing a story where a guild in game is made to come up with ways to beat top players, they come come up with strategies and playstyles that can allow competant players a fighting chance which leads to an influx of players, but also leads to a somewhat legendarily infamous reputation with cocky pro players despite not being pros themselves. So given that can this in world mistranselation fly?

    r/latin Rules

    Posts and comments should primarily pertain to the Latin language. Discussions on other topics are allowed as long as they're in Latin. No mercy will be shown to low-effort memes in English or other languages. Translate any memes or cartoons into Latin.

    See the text of the pinned post for details.

    ChatGPT, Google Translate, and the like will confidently give you wrong answers about translations and Latin grammar. And if you only have a beginner's proficiency in Latin, there will be enough correct information to trick you. Generally, posts about machine translators and AI will be removed.

    Be specific about the issues you're having.A little context goes a long way! Ask for corrections and explanations, not for translations. When helping, make it about teaching, not handing out the right answer.

    Do not try to be right - try to reach consensus. Reiterate the position you disagree with. Explain your reasoning and give your sources. Teach and learn in return.

    High-effort posting that is likely to result in meaningful discussion is encouraged.

    FAQ

    • What Is Latin?
      • The language used natively by the Romans and later as an auxiliary language by the intellectual elites of Europe and the Roman Catholic Church.
    • Are There Different Kinds of Latin?
      • Latin is commonly classified into chronological strata: Archaic Latin, Old Latin, Classical Latin, Late Latin, Medieval Latin, and Neo-Latin. All of the eras after Classical Latin tended to refer back to it as a standard. Terms such as “legal Latin” and “scientific Latin” do not refer to versions of the language, only to the partial incorporation of Latin within certain domains.
    • How Is Latin Pronounced?
      • The pronunciation of Latin has varied significantly across time and place. The most common pronunciation scheme in academic institutions is thereconstructed pronunciation of Classical Latin, an attempt to reproduce the way Latin was spoken in Rome in the Classical period. Here is arecitation ofIn Catilinam by a skilled speaker. Here is a recitation ofPetrarch'sDe Ascensu Montis Ventosi by a different speaker using a slightly different reconstruction (Calabrese) of Latin vowels.
      • Also popular is the ecclesiastical pronunciation of Latin, used in the Catholic Church and in music. It follows the traditional Italian pronunciation of Latin. Here is apriest reciting Augustine'sConfessions. Here is a choir singing the hymnPange Lingua Gloriosi.
      • Various regional pronunciations of Latin flourished throughout the Middle Ages, some of which still have currency in the present.
      • When Latin phrases are inserted into a modern language, often those languages will treat the Latin according to its own rules, as in the traditional English pronunciation.
    • What Curricula Can I Use To Learn Latin On My Own?
      • Effective language learning requires above all else a high volume of comprehensible input, that is, messages that can be understood by the learner. There are a variety of ways that can occur. A thorough explanation of comprehensible input and how it applies to Latin autodidacts can be foundhere.
      • Reading-based curricula seek to deliver comprehensible input by using some amount of Latin from the start and gradually increasing the vocabulary, diversity of forms, and complexity of sentences. Popular reading-based curricula includeLingua Latina Per Se Illustrata;Cambridge Latin Course;Oxford Latin Course;Via Latina;Latin Via Ovid; andSuburani.
      • Other curricula exist based more on memorizing discrete grammatical concepts than on delivering a large volume of comprehensible input. Some of these includeMoreland & Fleischer,Wheelock’s Latin, andLearn to Read Latin.
      • The moderators of this subreddit endorseLingua Latina Per Se Illustrata as the best overall curriculum. However, independent learners should read ourGuide to LLPSI before beginning.
    • What Resources Exist Other than Textbooks?
      • It is not necessary to follow a single curriculum from start to finish, though that may be easier. Any program of progressively more difficult comprehensible input can work. For example, one redditor createdthis list that doubles as a tracking worksheet.
      • The appLegentibus by Latinitium offers high-quality books and audiobooks, mostly directed toward beginners.
      • YouTube channels featuring accessible spoken Latin
      • Novellas aimed at beginners
    • Can I Take Courses Online?
      • A number of qualified teachers and institutions exist offering remote learning options. See thiscomparison of options made in 2023.
    • Is DuoLingo Good?
      • No. It's a supplement for vocabulary and grammar practice, but cannot serve as a self-contained language course. It is incomplete and frequently rejects correct answers based on word order. Be careful when generalizing from its examples.
    • Are Machine Translators Good?
      • Most machine translators still frequently produce flawed and nonsensical Latin. Recent large language models such as ChatGPT have shown promise in producing and teaching Latin, but a beginner is not in a good position to evaluate their output.
    • What Other Communities Exist For Latin Enthusiasts?
      • TheLatin Discord andLLPSI Discord offer support to learners and opportunities for everyday communication (including conversational Latin).
      • Various Facebook groups exist, butr/latin does not maintain a list.
    • Where Can I Find Things in Latin To Read?
      • The Packard Humanities Institute contains most of the Classical Latin corpus in a searchable format, though the texts are not always the current critical editions
      • Perseus Digital Library contains a similar searchable corpus, somewhat broader in scope
      • The Latin Library is an eclectic collection of Latin works in a plain-text format. There are occasional errors and the sources are sometimes unclear.
      • Corpus Corporum is a database containing a large number of late antique and medieval Latin works. The search function is currently broken.
      • Post-Reformation Digital Library contains thousands of links to digitized editions of early modern works. In Advanced Search there is a field to filter by language.
    • What are reliable online resources?
    • Is There a Master Resource List?
