likethemaryellencarter:quidquididest:likethemaryellencarter:apoormadgirl-backhome:Arthur Conan Doyle was a fucking genius. GENIUS.Could some Tumblr classicist deal with this for me?Because… guys. No. Pull yourselves together.Morior, moriri, mortus sum: to die, deponent verb. “To die” would be expressed by the present active infinitive moriri. Mori goes out the window.Ars, artis: masculine noun, 3rd declension, skill, or art. This noun declines - “art” is merely a stem and *cannot* mean art by itself.“Ti” means nothing in Latin. Conclusion: Dear Latin students, general public, and overexcited fangirls: DO NOT ABUSE LATIN FOR YOU OWN WHIMS, and never ever use Google Translate. As your Latin tutor, I will red pen everything Google thinks is correct Latin.A Tumblr classicist took care of it. I will add to my statement that “mori” can be an alternative form of the infinitive - but it stills make no sense as “to die-art-ti.” And his name is Moriarty. Why is “ti” even being searched? -- source link
