It's Saturday Night - time for some Genealogy Fun!!!
by Randy Seaver
Your mission, should you decide to accept it
Your mission, should you decide to accept it
(come on, it's easy this week, and you'll laugh) is to:
1) Find some of your favorite sayings, aphorisms,
jokes, etc. They can be genealogy-related, or not.
2) Translate them into Latin using Google Translate
comment to this post, or in a Facebook status line
or Google Plus Stream post (impress your non-genealogy
friends with your Latin skills!).
4) Of course, you could translate the Latin you read
4) Of course, you could translate the Latin you read
back (on my blog, or the blogs of others) into English
(or your native language) using Google Translate too
to see who was really funny, or mean, or romantic
If you want to be really fancy, you could translate your
sayings into any other language that uses Google Translate
and really confuse all of us.
Norwegian and back to English.
Venit mi, ut i tibi mea genealogia spelunca
Han kom til meg, som jeg registrert med dere min hule
He came to me, as I registered with you my cave
Ostende mihi si tibi ostendam tibi ahnentafel
Vis meg, hvis du vil vise deg Generasjonsliste
Show me, if you will show you the ahnentafel
Genealogia est non amat, suus an nimiam
Slekten er ikke kjærlighet, det er en overdreven
The genealogy is not love, it's an excessive
Communio domus mea tergo insignia - quod rectum
Nattverd på baksiden av huset mitt - hva er rett
Communion on the back of my house - what is right
Ego non adhæsit, sum antecessor provocatus
Jeg ble ikke sittende fast, utfordret jeg forgjengeren
I was not stuck, I challenged the predecessor
I am not sure how accurate the Norwegian translations are,
but the English appears to leave something to be desired.
I think the first one might refer to Randy's genea-cave. Thanks
for the fun Randy.
