You can't trick me, I refuse to summon another demon.

Now I can swear and sound super fancy! No one will understand me, but I'll know, and thats enough
Agnagna
Most are word-to-word translations from english, not true curses in latin that a Roman would have used
Choreopithecus
Some of these aren't exactly right. An irrumator is someone who thrusts into someone else's mouth. Irrumatio = exact opposite of fellatio.
Bunsen
Just find a copy of Lingua Latina Occasionibus Omnibus.

I have an Aussie friend. I need a dictionary to understand what he says. Dictionary crashes every single time and shows me the bird.

Bastard is illegitimi in Latin, how accurate is this list?
NoNoNoPlsNo
Hmm... "Irrumator - From irrumare, to force receptive male oral sex. Noun: (slang) bastard, asshole, cocksucker." So basically cocksucker...
NoNoNoPlsNo
I can't bother to check all the words, but I doubt those are literal translations.
DylanMorrison
actually it's more "face fucker". irrumare is unambiguously about forceful giving, not receiving.

This looks like a translation of modern insults in Latin rather than a list of insults ancient Romans actually used. I mean, 1/2
PeteTusk
With some sprinkles of nonsense, invention, and mistakes.
592748shwy
2/2 Podex perfectus es? Come on, man, sounds like something translated with an app while disregarding the cultural background
LazyLuppy
Yeah like one of the curses Romans said that was close to our "damn" was "Hercle" (by Hercules!)
StringVariable
Really a shame, since we have records of some great insults.
SandwichCombinatorics
Don't forget "Pedicabo ego te et irrumabo" meaning " I will sodomize and facefuck you"
SandwichCombinatorics
Oh and finally, don't forget cinnaedus either. It takes the same place as "Faggot" but its literal meaning is hard to translate to English.

Or to a group of people "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo" (credits to my main man Catullus)

panamakid
It won't. Most of them mean literally nothing, as in: they're not Latin, they're gibberish.
AVoiceOfReason
Up until you reach "Te futueo et caballum tuum" and find out you're really saying "I'm fucking you and your horse." This is bad Latin.
DukeDarkwood
'futueo' needs to be made imperative; I'm too far removed from my school years to recall if 'you' has anything special to make it reflexive.
AVoiceOfReason
"Futue" is the imperative of futuere.
wonder89
You can sneak these in conversations to your coworkers you'll feel better and they won't know what you said.

Are these actual Latin swear words or someone just translated them from English?
Zaiyyash
Mostly translations, mostly terrible. Strange word choices, grammar is sometimes questionable.
ArandomUnusedUsername
If someone could find a pronunciation guide and post a link, that would be appreciated.
Doumdidoum
Oe sounds like "Euh", the U sounds like a "Ooh". Ae is soft "Ay".
Arothin
the C is soft if it is followed by an Ae, e, or I. Could be wrong on the Ae.
Nessimon
Only in Church Latin, in classical it was always hard 'k'

Most of it is phonetic luckily.

Zelko13
Stress is never on the last syllable in a word. Vs are Ws, Gs are always hard, Cs are always Ks, vowel-consonant-e the e is not silent.
Zelko13
That's a good start at least.
copingcabana
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes
MotoH
Classicist here: use standard Italian pronunciation/stress, and pronounce v as w, there are a few differences but it is close enough.
UseTheSource
that helps so much if I knew Italian. Actually I think I got the hang of it, just unsure about what syllables to stress.
DoctorsDaughter
Classical Latin doesn't have the ch sound in cc if I remember right. Church Latin does. (Been 10 years since school)
IamAlwaysTriggered
Or spanish
cesarnero
castilan or catalan.
chaosource
Castilian
ZombieBrains234
Phonetically for the most part, except C is pronounced K, G is soft, as in goat. V is w, vir would be pronounced wir.
TheThoroughbredOfSinBadHorse
And I is "eee", e is the eh sound like medal, and u is like ooo
LazyLuppy
Actually it depends upon whether the vowels are marked long or not, especially with I's and e's.
TheThoroughbredOfSinBadHorse
It's been 10 years since I took Latin so you're probably right haha
notyouraveragedingleberry
So Veritas Vincit would be Weritas Winkit? That takes some oomph out of it...
erischilde
Isn't goat a hard G? As opposed to Geoff? Gel?
rswalker
That's a hard G
RarePepeHunter
I think deodamnatus means more "goddammit" hence the "deo" part
basball6969
Also, itrumat- is more like "buttfucker"
RarePepeHunter
You'd be right. Irrumare is the verb, I believe, for 'to sodomize'. It might also mean 'to face fuck' i don't remember which.
pyronoia
Irrumatio is mouth-rape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrumatio | This makes the translation of 'Bastard' as 'Irrumator' interesting.
Worgslarg1
It means"he who has been dammed by God himself"
pizzabaconator
I thought deo meant God, it would make sense
PeteTusk
deus is god. damnatus is damned.
pizzabaconator
So what's deo then?
PeteTusk
deo is a form of deus that means "to god" or "for god".
pizzabaconator
Ah ok, interesting
AVoiceOfReason
As someone who has studied Latin for about two decades now, a lot of these are malformed, as in they are badly declined and conjugated.
nativeamerican1
ceandros
I don't think they said "god damnit" or any of those insults either. Now historical insults, that would have been interesting.
Rummskartoffel
I've had Latin in school for almost 5.5 years and I noticed the mistakes, but for a lot of them you'd only need two years.
beenbannedb4
yes, for a lot of the mistakes you only need two years :p
anicyril
But is "you are a whore" correct? That's the one I really want to use.
AVoiceOfReason
You don't need the "tu." Es already means you are. And scronium isn't even a word. Use meretrix or fornicatrix. Meretrix es.

And that's not what "irrumator" means at all!
DylanMorrison
basically means "face fucker". Or to use wiktionary's definition "one who inserts his penis violently into another's mouth"
Wifwolf
A voice of reason being quite reasonable. I did not expect that.
AVoiceOfReason
For example, "Te futueo et caballum tuum" means "I am fucking you and your horse." So much for the insult. Second, caballus is a very (1)
Marikhen
So then "mentula cunno praestigiae tonitrui" would be a bad way of saying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy7kb5ABsyk then?
Bunsen
So how should it be constructed? Second person passive subjunctive (let you be fucked), maybe?
AVoiceOfReason
Te futue is sufficient. Because it also has the double meaning of fuck yourself.
AVoiceOfReason
And the plural is vos futuete.
AVoiceOfReason
rare word for horse, mostly used in poetry or obscure texts. Equus is what you'd say here. You're insulting someone, not serenading (2)

*Also, you'd write "equum." Equus is just the nominative. Clarification.

Also, 'ae' is a dipthong. It's prounced 'i'.

Well... Actually... Since latin is a dead language... The pronounciation is the same as your language...

latin is pretty straight forward. for an english speaker there's no difficult sounds (that i remember, but it's decades since i did latin)
Sklumlord
It's actually pretty simple.. Pronounce "V"s as you would pronounce "W", though. So "Bovis" = Bo-wis
Pieplayerian
That's a bunch of bull.
Pieplayerian
Please don't downvote, "bovis" translates to "bull." Don't downvote Latin puns.

Call back. I have an answer for you
metaorange
Latin pronounces every letter; there are no dipthongs and consonants are always hard save for V, which makes a W sound.
thelyzardiam
You know nothing Jon Snow.
OrionJC
There are quite a few diphthongs! The first word on the list includes the most commonly used diphthong.
SixHundredThousandBees
As a Latin student, it's almost exactly like English. i.e. Pronounce it how it looks, it's probably right.
Thomikh
Actually no... Latin is a dead language... It always has the same pronounciation as the speakers...
SixHundredThousandBees
Singing in Latin is a whole other story, however.
OfficialUsernameChecker
English is only pronounced the way it looks like 50% of the time
realGeorgelucas
If I summon a demon because of you I'm gonna be pissed.
ProgeriaProstitutes
...So it's the complete opposite of English
SixHundredThousandBees
What an intelligent remark
SixHundredThousandBees
Oh wait! There are V's in this list. Didn't see any at first. V's are pronounced as W's.
kasaku
And the Cs are all hard Cs.
seeingsalty
There are also no indication of long vowels, which might make things a little awkward. Would have to look up the word.
DukeDarkwood
A reminder to English-speakers for long vowels in Latin: They use the "ah-ay-ee-oh-oo" pattern, like other Romance languages, not the
DukeDarkwood
English "ay-ee-eye-oh-oo".
nigelandco
I'm not 100% sure but I'm told it's close to the pronunciation of italian. At least with the absence of silent letters etc.

This is only true for Ecclesiastical Latin (Church Latin) Classical Latin sounds entirely different.

Not true if you're speaking classical latin. If you wanna use vatican latin, then true.

No silent letters? Guess that explains why Italians are so loud AYYYYY A BOOPITY BOPPITY
BeaRiles
And then the only dipthong in this one is ae, which is pronounced like "eye". Happy cursing
tiduszecht
o/ took latin 3 years straight going through high school. can confirm, sounds italian.
BeaRiles
It is close. C makes a hard sound like K does in english, hence why there's only one word in Latin that starts with K. V pronounced like W
nigelandco
Read somewhere that C makes a "ch" sound and cc makes a more sustained hard C. That also reminds me a little of italian
MOTHERFUCKINGODIN
Not really, unless you're speaking Medieval Latin which is only used in religious services. Ancient Latin(AKA Latin when it was alive) 1/2

Nobody is positive how Classical Latin was spoken, but it has been revived into modern Latin, which is a living language.

otiumCatulli
Too many reasons to put in a comment but includes spelling mistakes, poetry scansion, & looking at how different Romance languages diverged.
roflcopterLOL
You can reconstruct it from all its many many offshoots, eg Occitan Italian Spanish etc. We know exactly how it sounded now
Hambongler
I don't think reconstructing it from it's offshoots is the same as knowing how it was spoken

I'm no expert, but the Catholic church was still doing masses in latin all the way into the 60s. Catholic hs still teaches it.
