Those sailors and the girls.
Unit 4 introduces me to adjectives (which like everything else in Latin take a multitude of disguises) and for those who were wondering about the sailors and girls (see previous post) I can report that:
O puellae pulchrae, in oppido vestro sunt nautae mali, et per cunctas vias ambulant.
- which for those of you who have not persevered as far as I have, can be translated as:
O fair girls, there are bad sailors in your city and they are walking through all the streets.
So now you know. (I think the sailors are bad in the moral sense, although they might be excellent navigators)
But I do recommend a fun and instructive website http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/latin/beginners/default.htm
it's the U.K. National Archives Latin tutorial site. Although it doesn't have bad sailors roaming the streets yet.
