How to manage your emotions

[Latinitium @latinitium]

Note the length of the vowel "a" in words "mālum" and "malum", one means "apple" (mālum) and the other means "bad" (malum).
"Mālum malum", a bad apple. :)

A long vowel is prolonged in pronunciation, making it about twice as long as a short one.

Hodie Marcus et Lola in via prope Amphipolem versantur. Amphipolis est urbs pulcherrima in Macedonia sita. Nostri viatores huc venerunt ut Lola hoc monumentum mirabile spectet. Ecce! Leo magnus et elegans in basi maxima sedet. Lola certa est felem nobilissimam hic sepultam esse.

Ecce Romulus. Ecce Remus. Ecce lupa. Lupa Romulum videt. Lupa Remum videt. Romulus et Remus fratres sunt. Romulus et Remus gemini sunt. Gemini lacrimant et esuriunt. Lupa geminos lacrimantes audit. Lupa ad fratres esurientes festinat. Lupa, animal benignum, geminos alit. Euge!

Hodie mane per vías oppidi ambulans duos homines vidi. Qui sunt hi homines quos in via vidi? Femina erat Cleopatra ipsa, regina Aegypti, quam olim Iulius Caesar amabat. Vir erat Marcus Antonius, dux Romanus qui, Iulio Caesare in senatu occiso, bellum contra interfectores gessit.

Verbs pertaining to archery to be distinguished are:
"sumere" - pick up, "intendere" - to draw, "dīrigere" - to aim, "contingere" - to hit.
"Sagittā contingere" - hit with an arrow.
The ablative (sagittā) is used to answer the question "with what are you performing the action?"

On this day - February 23rd - Romans celebrated the Terminalia, honouring Terminus, the god of the boundary stones that divide rural properties. Neighbouring farmers came together at these stones and decorated them with flowers.

One of my favourite Latin quotes. Often attributed to Hannibal, I doubt very much he said it in Latin. Still, very useful when channeling your own inner Hannibal.
