As a native speaker of Portuguese in Brazil , I can only understand some Latin words that are similar to Portuguese. The sentences are, for the most part, unintelligible without having previously studied the Latin language. In Brazilian Portuguese: - “Lumen” is translated as “luz”. But "luz" comes from the Latin “lux”. However there are words like “luminoso/luminosa” (luminous) which comes from Latin “lumen”. Furthermore, “lúmem”, plural “lúmens”, is the name given to a unit of measurement of luminous flux. - "Expellere" is translated as "expelir", which means "to expel". "Expulsar" also exists in Portuguese and has the same root and basically the same meaning despite sometimes being used in different contexts. - "Amare" is translated as "amar", which means "to love". - "Anima" could be translated in several ways as it is the root of several words in Portuguese. "alma" (ghost/spirit/essence/soul), "ânimo" (cheer/optimism/encouragement), "animar" (to animate/to move/make it breathe, make it alive), "animal" (animal 🙈), "animação" (animation, anime). Also there are other words with different roots but with the same Latin meaning like "fôlego" (breath), respirar/expirar (to breath) and vida (life/living being). - "Veni, vidi, vici" is a Latin expression known in Portuguese and is translated as "vim, vi e venci" (I came, I saw and I won). - "Carpem diem" is also a known Latin expression in Portuguese. "Carpe diem" is part of the Latin phrase "carpe diem quam minimum credula postero", literally "seize the day and trust as little as possible in tomorrow", taken from one of Horace's Odes (65 BC - 8 BC). It is translated as "Aproveite o dia" (take advantage of the day/seize the day/enjoy the day/pluck the day), "Aproveite o momento" (take advantage of the moment), curta o momento (enjoy the moment), "colha o dia" (to weed the day, which is the literal translation. Weed here means to remove wild plants from a place where they are not wanted​), etc. Although no one translates it this way, it could also be literally translated as "carpe o dia" since "carpe" became the verb "carpir" (to hoe/to weed) in Portuguese. "Diem" is translated as "day". "Carpem diem", in the original context, which was the period of decline of the Roman Empire, meant taking advantage of what is good in every moment because tomorrow is uncertain. But nowadays it has become a pop culture phrase and is used only in the sense of living happily and carefree. - “Cogito, ergo sum” is also a Latin expression known in Portuguese. It is translated as "penso, logo existo" (I think, therefore I exist) or "Penso, logo sou" ("I think, therefore I am"). We translate “cogito” as “penso”, which means “I think”, but in Portuguese there is also the verb “cogitar”, which basically means “to think” and which comes from the Latin “cogĭto”. The verb "sou" comes from Latim "sum". "Cogito, ergo sum" is a phrase authored by the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650) and expresses the idea that the ability to think is proof of our existence. - "Vice versa" is translated as "Vice-versa" 😁in Portuguese and means "reverse" or with the order changed.

Latin - French 🙄 Amare -> amour ; Anima -> âme ; you find the latin root in the verb "animer" something that moves by itself. Veni, vidi, vici -> Venu, vu, vaincu. je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu. it's basically one of the first things you learn in history classes because it is said by Caesar. Carpe diem -> cueillir le jour ; carpe is used in medical stuffs about the hand "canal carpien". Cogito ergo sum -> je pense donc je suis ; It's literally said by a french philosopher, Descartes.

The French participant did not reckoned the famous quote from Descartes 😮😮😮

I loved this video, it would be so cool if you guys find a Romanian person too

Funny the french girl says that maybe she had heard "Cogito Ergo Sum" since it was Decartés who say that.

CARA A JÚLIA VIROU PROFISSIONAL EM SE DESTACAR! BOA GAROTA!

The Brazillian and the Mexican girls are pretty, smart and fun.

Damn, the brazilian girl has so much natural presence.

Carpe Diem in portuguese would be something like "Aproveite o dia", which means "Seize the day". "Diem" is "Dia", but "Carpe" would be "Aproveite", which is kind different from the latin word

Yeah, so, basically, the translation for veni vidi vici in French is : "je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu" Not : je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai **gagné** The french girl here said that it was "J'ai gagné", I won. But this is not the right word Vaincu is the conjugation of the word "vaincre" which is not that far from the Latin "vincere" "Gagner" generally means a gain, a profit, the acquisition of something "vaincre" is more for military stuff, like you win a battle by fighting.

I feel like Laura should have done the whole thing in Catalan, since she’s the only one who speaks it there and we already got 2 other people who spoke Spanish. And in Catalan there are some interesting words she didn’t say like “Llum” for “Luminus”, or “Llumí” which is also related to light, since it means “match” as the stick you light up, which in Spanish is “cerilla”, definitely not similar. Then “Expellere” in Catalan you can say “Expel·lir”. For “Amare” it’s “Estimar” which is not that similar. Then “ànima” she did say. For “Veni, Vidi, Vici” it is “Vaig vindre, vaig veure, vaig guanyar”. And then the following sentences we all just kind of say the sentence in Latin as well. So I feel like it would have been a cool insight, for sure! And linguistically speaking it’s an occitano/gallo-romance language, including french and then Italian, so those two languages are probably the closest ones linguistically speaking…

Also, "Cogitare" in Latin means "to think". It originated "cogitar" in Portuguese, but with the meaning of "to suppose" to describe hypothetical situations.

Why the French girl don’t know the French words ? I mean come on : amour, âme, j’ai vaincu

By the way, we have the word lume in Portuguese, it's a bit old fashioned word for firelight but it appears in some compound words like vagalume (firefly) and alumiar (to lighten).

in spain we still use the word "ergo" (therefore), but it's more formal-ish

please keep doing more romance languages related videos! it's so fun!

Latim/Portuguese = cogito, ergo sum = Penso, logo existo/penso, logo sou. Cogito from VERB in portuguese COGITAR.

i like that Latin sounds closer to Portuguese than French xD

"Ánima" still exists in Spanish too, along with "alma" but is not widely used anymore. "Ánima" is more used to mean "ghost" (of dead people) than "soul" ("alma", which includes both alive and dead people). It appears tough in a lot of Spanish literature of the XIX century. I recommend very much the short Spanish gothic tale "El monte de las ánimas" by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870), usually translated to English as "The mount of the souls" , "Mountain of souls" or even as "The spirits' mountain".

Learning Latin is in my bucket list. Our mother language. I love it!

Oh come on Ambre ! The usual translation of "Veni, vidi, vici" in French is "(je suis) venu, (j'ai) vu, (j'ai) vaincu". It's similar. C'est dans tous les Astérix ! 😉

So sorry guys, if I'm out of the topic. But, my eyes couldn't stop watching Julia -Brazil. Bless you always and the rest of the ladies. Support you guys all the time. 🙏✌️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If anyone is curious about which modern Spanish or Portuguese word that derived from Latin carpe (carpere), it’s “carpir”, but carpir doesn’t have the meaning of “enjoy” anymore

6:21 JAJAJAJAJA la cara de la mexicana cuando la brasileña decía "cogito" Yo también tendría problemas para aguantar la risa

Has the French girl never heard of the well-known French philosopher Descartes with his very famous phrase: cogito ergo sum?

Vocês quando forem falar de língua latinas, falem suas línguas de origem latina respectivamente, ficaria mais interessante 😂😂😂

Lovely 😻🌹 video, in this week test theses beauties with Greek vocabulary, its gonna be magic video. Koreans bros do the video with Greek now❤❤❤❤

there should’ve been a romanian!! they are part of the romance languages too!!

la argentina estuvo pintada al óleo 😂😂

Tô amando os vídeos, cada vez melhor

I like the French girl, but she embarass me a lot. We have words similar to the other romance languages even though they're not really used anymore and considered old fashionned. But come on "Amare" is "Aimer" and we have the word "Cogiter" in French. Also "Cogito ergo sum" is citation of René Descartes

Esses videos viraram um hobbie, adoro assistir 😍

Excelente

Gorgeous and intelligent 👍👍👍

In Latin, light can be either "lūmen" or "lux". Words in Spanish derived from "lūmen" are for example "luminoso" and "iluminar". The Spanish word for light "luz" as well as the Italian "luce" stem from "lux".

The Mexican girl is such a cutie.

Here before the brazilians invade the comment section

Latin - Portuguese: Lumin -> Luz Expellere -> Expulsar Amare -> Amar Anima -> Alma Veni, Vidi, Vici -> Vim, Vi, Venci Carpe diem -> Aproveite o dia Cogito ergo sum -> Penso, logo existo Vice Versa -> Vice-versa

Tinha que dar um papel pra cada uma escrever sua resposta individualmente. Dessa forma elas não iriam ter influencia dos colegas ao lado do significado de cada palavra.

I like this because I’m learning all these Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian) except for Portuguese. But even in my country Indonesia these Latin phrases are used a lot within academic contexts, so I’m kind of surprised that these ladies were not familiar with some of them. Among these languages, French is the language I’m most comfortable with, so: 0:51 I think it’s actually _lumen_ in Latin? Yes, it’s _lumière_ in French. 1:30 Ah _expellere_ is a weird conjugation to choose from in Latin, but yeah _espellere_ in Italian is the most similar while French _expulser_ is a bit farther. 2:30 Why didn’t you show their full reaction? Instead of _amare_ it would’ve been better to have _amo_ in Latin, as it is in its infinitive form would be _amare_ in Italian and _amar_ in Spanish and _aimer_ in French. 2:49 Yeah _anima_ in Latin is a bit tricky to guess because it’s _âme_ in French and _alma_ in Spanish, but in Italian they have both _alma_ and _anima_ with slightly different meanings. 3:49 Again “Veni vidi vici” is tricky to trace from French, but the French version would be something like “Je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu” which is a mouthful and not as easy as “Venni, vidi, vinsi” in Italian which is so much clearer. 4:48 I feel like _carpe diem_ is something that you would see on motivational posters in every school on the planet and is better to leave as is, it doesn’t need to be translated 😄 5:37 Well actually “Cogito ergo sum” in Latin came later, because the original version was “Je pense donc je suis” in French because it was first introduced by French philosopher René Descartes 😅 6:56 Latin _vice versa_ is the easiest because all the Romance languages use it in its original form.

best team, bring then all more. The conection between latin speaking people go crazy, not just by language but by culture too.

I speak only English, but guessed most of the early ones through my vague memory of French lessons. The "anima" one I know sort of is used in English sort of, but I am not really in that world, so I was unsure. The later ones are just well known among people trying to sound like sophisticated, so I didn't even have to guess.

old latin is a specific developmental stage of latin (before 75 BC) that precedes classical latin and it's different. i'm not a linguist and cannot say about all the examples shown but veni, vidi, vici and carpe diem are in classical latin aka the one that is studied the most in schools. also cogito ergo sum is from the 1600 by DesCartes

Awwww !! Mexico and Brazil 😍

This is kinda funny cause it is like a living example of the evolution of the "Dialect continuum", the languages ​​developed furthest from the italian peninsula are very different from latin and the closest ones (like catalan or italian itself) are the most similar ones. The french case is especially interesting since they are the latins more mixed with germanic people.

the only one who went to school was the brazilian.

Good going, Julia! 🙂

"Cogito ergo sum" "je pense donc je suis" is a famous sentence from René Descartes, french philosopher, writter and scientist. It resumes his concept of the "cartesian doubt"

Carpe diem is usually used as is in Brazil. But you can translate it to "curta o momento" (enjoy the moment)

4:07 NO, in French we would say "je suis VENU, j'ai VU et j'ai VAINCU" (VENIR= to come, VOIR= to see, VAINCRE= to defeat)

Je suis venu j'ai vu j'ai vaincu. veni vedi vici, it's close in french too.

I like those comically large pins. Next time just have the guests put on face paint that indicates their country's flag, like in football matches.

Deberian hacer este tipo de videos en su lengua

Some of these can be directly translated to Spanish. Latin: Vini, Vidi, Vinci Spanish: "Vine, Vi, Venci" Latin: Carpe Diem Spanish: "Capta el Dia" Some were direct translations like "anima". In Spanish can refer to a soul, but more often talking about a ghost. Its a very OLD use term though. Something a grandmother or priest would use (common phrase: "anima en pena"; means "suffering soul"). Today its more common to use "alma" for soul and fantasma for "ghost". Its also the root of "animate" which in Spanish is usually a verb meaning to stay positive or become lively. Cogito is the most difficult to translate because there's no modern direct word. Perhaps its the origin of the word "cogo" which means to grab, but could be used I suppose to say "Ya lo cogi" (I got it; understood it).

4:00 Veni, Vidi, Vici No French is not different: Je suis "VENU", j'ai "VU", j'ai "VAINCU". 😉

4:03 would be « je suis venu, j’ai vu, j’ai vaincu » in French. To win is indeed « gagner » but to conquer would be « vaincre »

5. Je suis venu, j'ai vu , j'ai vaincu.

I believe the French word relating to ‘vici’ in the quote “Veni, vidi, vici” is ‘vaincre’ which is related to the Latin word ‘vincere’ meaning ‘to conquer’ or ‘to defeat’ ?

😂 saco lo Mexicana con el Cogito, en México solemos tener palabras en doble sentido de manera sexual, entonces Cogito suena similar a una palabra que se usa para hacer el acto sexual, en el momento en que vi la cara que puso mi paisana fue como ohh tu también lo viste 😅 🇲🇽

There are two words for light in Latin: lúmen and lúx. Italian and Spanish luz and luce both come from lúx

In Spanish, "alma" "anima", you can use both, but anima is more formal I would say, so usually you will hear "alma" instead of "anima". About "lumen" "lux" in Latin, in Spanish you can say "luminoso" a place with a lot of light They don't really say it in the video, but amare, is amar in Spanish. cogito ergo sum, in Spanish would be, "pienso ergo existo", "ergo" it exist in Spanish too like a synonym of "luego" but it is very formal so you will hear for sure "pienso luego existo" The Mexican girl when said cogito would have double meaning, is because "coger" "cogido" in Latin America have a sexual meaning, not is Spain cos is commonly used like "take" in English.

Cogito Ergo Sum : Je pense donc je suis (j'existe). The "Cogito" is something that was described by René Descartes. This is the expression that was used to describe the "doute hyperbolique" (hyperbolic doubt?). With it, you can doubt about anything, even the entirety of what your senses show you. There is no empirical experiences that are true. The only single truth that nobody can deny is that "Cogito Ergo Sum" = Je pense donc je suis = I think, then I am. If I can say in my mind "I am" it means there is something. What is it? "I". Some would link that "I" to the Freud's "Self" but the Self is more complexe and does not take in consideration the hyperbolic doubt. The only single truth I can believe without hesitating is "I exist because I can say it in my mind". My mother? Who knows if she exists or if she was made by me, in my mind. KZfaq? Who knows if it was also a creation of my mind. This comment I am writing? The phone I am using? The fingers that are typing this? The cells that compose these fingers? Nothing can be said to be 100% certain according to Descartes and its expression "Cogito Ergo Sum".

I study Latin in University - it opens the doors to so many great things especially from the past.

A gente tb pode ser feliz sem passar tanta ansiedade e desespero por fazer parte de algo. Ela já está participando, não precisa lutar tanto o tempo inteiro. Sou brasileira e fiquei meio constrangida.

About carpe diem which can be translated as reap the day In Portuguese when we weed we use the term: carpir, so in a way the term has stayed true to Latin Carpir exists, but sometimes informally, when we say that someone removes grass, we say Ele Carpe, but there is no official compression of the verb Carpir

Spanish: Lumin -> Luz Expellere -> Expulsar Amare -> Amar Anima -> Ánima or Alma Veni, vidi, vici -> Vine, vi, vencí (it actually sounds good) Carpe diem -> Aprovecha el día Cogito ergo sum -> Pienso, luego existo. Or more similar: Pienso, ergo soy. Vice versa -> Viceversa

As an American, I think the Brazilian language is the most beautiful in the world because I don't know if they are speaking or singing, it's very beautiful, I'm trying very hard to learn

The French girl doesn't know the famous words of René Descartes?

Julia and Dafne are gorgeous !

anyone else realized the french girl had the french flag the wrong way or just me?

Bring back Italian Giulia

In Spanish we also have ánima in the dictionary. Not only in Catalonian. It's basically a synonym of alma, soul. Although it's more used in poems rather than spoken, street language. Veni, vidi, vinci sounds perfectly fine in Spanish, I don't know why these girl say the contrary: vine, vi, vencí. The verbs are correct, they have meaning, and they are understandable, they have context, so I don't know why these girls jumped immediately to the conclusion that in Spanish doesn't sound correct. Cogito ergo sum, pienso luego soy. It's very easy. Oh man, maybe I'm over critical with them?

The most efficient way to translate "carpe diem" to Portuguese would be "aproveita o dia" (or "aproveite o dia" if using você). The verb "carpo" in Latin meaning "seize" or "grab" turned into "carpir" in Portuguese, which means "to harvest bad weeds", "tear off impurities" or "to mourn", so it would be inappropriate to say "carpe o dia" even though it is its direct descendent.

you should do a video comparing catalan and italian, they are almost more similar than catalan and spanish

dude they are all so pretty

In Italian we definitely translate carpe diem and we say “cogli l’attimo”

We have a word in portuguese that is derived from the "carpe" in "carpe diem", which is the verb "carpir". The meaning has slightly changed, though. And dia for "diem" in latin, obviously.

The Brazilians are always the most charismatic and intelligent. The leaders.

pr-br here: "Carpe diem" ... diem = dia/day. Carpe I'm clueless. It does sound like "carpet" as the mexican girl pointed out. Something about crops maybe? To seize / to take it all, like harvest. Maybe "colher" (with closed E sound, not "colher" with open E because that's a spoon (yes, same word, different pronunciation, different meaning)). "Colha o dia"? "Colha o dia" is my best bet here.

4:00 "Veni, Vidi, Vici" is in French "Je suis venu. J'ai vu. J'ai vaincu". That's pretty much the same.

I'm Romanian and you didn't have anyone to represent our language in the video, so are are my guesses: 1. lumin - light (Ro: lumină) 2. expellere - to expel (Ro: a expulza, but it is not very used) 3. amare - to love (Ro: the verb is of slavic origin, "a iubi", but we have the "amor" meaning love as a noun). Also "amare" in Romanian actually means bitter lol but I don't think it had that meaning in Latin. 4. anima - soul, or heart (Ro: inimă=heart) 5. veni, vedi, vici - came, saw, won (Ro: a veni=to come, a vedea=to see, a învinge=to win) 6. carpe diem - I know from school it means ”seize the day” but otherwise I wouldn't understand "carpe". (Ro: zi=day; we translate "carpe diem" as "trăiește clipa”=live in the moment) 7. cogito ergo sum - I think, therefore I am (Ro: cuget, deci exist; "sum" can aslo translate as "sunt") I also know this one from school but it's easy to understand anyway. 8. vice versa - in reverse, the other way around. In Romanian we use the exact same words as in Latin. In Romania it's compulsory to study basic Latin for one year in 7th or 8th grade, then in high school it's only taught in the "humanistic" programs. Personally I had to study it for all 4 years of high school and it was difficult but most of us didn't take it vary seriously do we don't remember much grammar, only random words. So a similar experience to the Italian girl in the video.

La Mexicana, Fransesa , Brasileña y Italiana son tan hermosas 😍😍

The trench girl has the flag upside down

The literal translation of « cogito ergo sum » is “I am a thinking being” so in french it is “Je suis un être pensant”. It is a sentence from a philosopher called Descartes who advocates that humans can prove that they exist by the fact that they can think. That’s it for fun fact !

French 'gagner' (ganar, to win) comes from their Germanic origin. Northern Frankish originates Dutch, and Southern Frankish originates French because they mixed with local Romans. Visigoths (the West Goths) who populated Spain after Rome fell, left about 400 words in Spanish. One of them was "guerra" which means war. Then "little war" or guerrilla jumped to English.

6:30 c'est de Descartes!! un français…. mais c'est bien traduit

Veni, vidi, vici ----> Je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu !

For the French translation of *Veni vidi Vici*, **4:12**, it would be more Je suis venu (i came) j’ai vu (I saw) j’ai vaincu (I conquered*

In Latin, the letter C prounces as K ^_^

Veni, vedi, vici in French is usually translated as "Je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu", so somewhat close !

Veni, Vidi, Vici in french would be "je suis venu, j'ai vu, j'ai vaincu" so i'd say it's still quite similar

I was wondering what anima meant until one of the girls said ‘like animation, soul’ and then I got it. Though instead of soul, I thought more spirit like in the lively or active sense, instead of spiritual sense. Oh and in Spanish, or at least the dialect my family speaks anima means exactly that. ‘Con anima’ - with spirit. Not to be confused with Alma which means spirit or soul like in the spiritual sense. Mi Alma - my soul.

Todas re lindas pero la chica mexicana es hermosa.

« Veni, vidi, vici » in french : « Je suis venu nettoyer les cabinets ». Wich means : « I came to clean the toilets ». This is the translation of a humorist, Pierre Desproges. It's a play on words: Venu (Veni), vider (vidi), WC (vici): come, empty, WC.
