It depends on the root. What's your root? :)

Are you Bartolomew, Bartolomewis or are you Bartolomew, Bartolomeis ?

O, I get to pick?

Why is the H dropped?

Honestly, I'd probably be something like Tolus / Tolum. (A lot of my friends call me Thole.)

Bartholomaeus

It's a pretty common medieval name, as in Bartholomaeus Angelicus

In the accusative case, I'd be Bartholomaeum?

I think names have lee-way. :)

So... how would an Asian have modified his name, if she got lost in ancient Rome?

Say her name is Li.

Marcus Liem vinit?

Whoops! You're right! 3rd conj present subjunctive is definitely iungas!

Dunno what the hell I was thinking! :rant:

Placentne pedes argillae meas tibi?

Quid habes si Iehovah-testem ad Angelum-Inferni iungas?

quid habes si - what do you have if

Iehovah-testem - a Jehovah's Witness

ad angelum-inferni - to a Hell's Angel

iungas - you join.

ANSWER

aliquis qui pulsat ad portam tuam et iubet te abfutuere. - Someone who knocks at your door and tells you to fuck off!

Aliquis qui ad portam meam pulsat aut pecuniam aut animam meam salvam vult. Ego iubeo ipsum abfutuere!

OR

Si quis qui ad portam meam pulsat, aut pecuniam aut animam meam querit. Ego iubeo ipsum abfutuere!

Wants to save either your money or your soul?

Oh my! Yes!

Bonus est ut dicas istos nothos abfutuere!

That's just gorgeous!

BTW, I'm glad you got to the post-coffee version.... The ante-coffee was pretty bad... I had completely forgotten the third person of volo is volt (or vult)... Man, I'm rusty!

Say her name is Li.

Marcus Liem vinit?

If it's a 'she'... then you maybe need 1st fem singular declension...?

nom: lia,
acc: liam,
gen: liae,
dat: liae,
abl: lia

Perhaps...? :D

*runs away very quickly in case it's wrong*

Oh... one life, live it *covers face* and you're gonna ask me to say it in Latin -- and he ain't here for me to cheat!!!

He had the tattoo from elbow to wrist, looks really good!!!

abfutuere

That is just precious! Why were we never taught these things in school??
Here's a bit more on how much we missed in school.
Also, I suspect that if the verb was used in the same way as we use it today in Italy, it would be used in the passive tense, as in "i ut fututa/o sit"... Or would it be "i fututa/o esse"? (when you want to be offensive, as in "go get f...")

OK, I hope my Latin profanities won't get me banned....

Anyways, thanks, Rufus!!! Now I know that Catullus was just as bad-mouthed as me!!!! :D

:Jaw: Well, Miss One, they never taught me THAT at school :D

Psst, which one's the swear word, just purely for, erm, research purposes? I mean, it's not like I want to use it for when my in-laws come round so I can stop with the forced expletive deleted language, or anything -- honest :D

Catullus rocked.

Fututo as in, the future imperative? You had me going for a minute, I was thinking in terms of the perfect passive participle and wondering what the hell the 'o' was doing in there! :)

'futuaris' would also work in a purpose clause because it's 2nd person present passive subjunctive.
