Cum gallo et gladio.
That’s the only thing I know in Latin cause I want it to be my family coat of arms.
It means “with a rooster and a sword”, but you need to understand French to discover the power of that sentence: “Avec un coq et une épée”, or as famously said in slang, “Avec ma bite et mon couteau suisse” (with my dick and Swiss Army knife).
It a saying we use to say that we don’t need preparation or equipment to do something.
Heh. Cum.
cum cum et cum
I learned Latin in school for several years; I only learned to understand and translate it, not actively speak or write it, and have by now forgotten some of it.
I do not know any Ancient Greek at all, I might recognize some words from other languages.
Latin: I can still bang out the five declensions and the four conjugations in my sleep. Trying to read a text, the sentence structure always finds ways to trip me up.
Greek: very patchy, I know a lot of words but my grammar is shite
The only Latin I know is from the thaumcraft mod
Surprisingly it gives you a lot of the roots you need to figure out words in other languages
Millennial. I had to take a root words class in grade school, with the promise it would help us become lawyers and doctors. It did not. It has helped me win a couple pub trivia rounds.
I still have the .pdf of that textbook, promising myself that one day I’ll go through it again.
HA!

I know some dinosaur names …
Gen X here,
I am a native Spanish speaker which makes me able to pick up the meaning of about 30-40% of words in Latin, although the semantics often confuse me. As for Ancient Greek (and some Latin words that look nothing like Spanish too) I’ve picked up a fair amount of terms from scientific terms, names and mythology.
I don’t know how much all this translates into, I’ve never formally studied either.

Me too, thanks.
Not much Greek but I can make a good guess at Latin words having learnt quite a bit of French.
