When the English language just isn't good enough ... Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur. We were pretty sure you'd be interested in this. Latin may be a dead language, but there are lots of times when you have something important to say and English doesn't seem anywhere near good enough. Besides, an obscure Latin sentence thrown in here and there will make you look smarter. Anything that helps, right? By the way, the phrase under the title translates loosely as "Whatever is said in Latin seems profound". Enough said! Here are some common Latin phrases that we're sure you'll find very useful. Use them wisely. Latin: Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni! Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari? Si hoc legere scis, nimis eruditionis habes.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you. I wish I were healthy and didn't have this horrible disease. To boldly go where no man has gone before. My dog ate it. I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults. Have a nice day. Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just happy to see me? Gag me with a spoon! Don’t have a cow, man! I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.
