I'm getting to the point now where I see English sayings that happen to be Latin and I recognize them and can translate them instantly (which is cool). However, a lot of times even though I know what each individual word means the sentence as a whole makes no sense.
"Status quo ante bellum" - this is the sentence I came across.
At first I was excited that I could translate it myself, but then upon translation I couldn't figure out what it really meant. I got - "Status where after war" which is obviously not what is intended to be said. The actual meaning is that the status after the war is the same as it was before the war.
If I was writing that sentence with my <A1 Latin skills I'd probably write - "Status ante bellum est status post bellum" or something.
Anyways I know we aren't supposed to directly translate stuff and rather just discern meaning from the Latin itself, but I just couldn't figure it out. I know it'll come with more exposure and practice, but I guess I'm mostly just voicing my annoyance.
I've been searching for a list of Latin words and phrases. The more the merrier. It doesn't matter if that list is online or downloadable. Please point me to that list if you know a good one.
I've recently started to learn about the stoics and I came across the latin phrase "Amor Fati," meaning love of fate. I was wondering if there was a different latin phrase that specifically focused on the importance of not dwelling on the past or one's past mistakes? Thanks!
Or do I have to do it the hard way by going through the scripts on the wiki?
Just asking out of curiosity.
They use Latin a lot,like with iudex gunyr. I thought of that in Latin class so
Were educated people back in the day just running around throwing these phrases around? Realistically how many people read them and know what they mean right off the bat (past and present)?
I've ran into a lot of these in particular through Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky and find myself having to translate each and every one of them because a lot of copies don't even have footnotes.
James Holzhauer correctly identified this phrase to a Jeopardy question in the TOC, which is surprising since it seems so obscure. Is it a common phrase that lawyers are aware of? What compels someone like James to learn something like this as a professional gambler? I can’t imagine it would be a good use of time to study something so obscure in the minor chance it appears on Jeopardy. Any thoughts?
Note: I do not mean exempli gratia. This phrase is specifically meant for when you have listed ALL items. Usage example below. The phrase that I cannot think of is denoted with [...]
There 8 types of livestock on this farm [...], pigs, geese, ducks, cows, sheep, horses, goats, and chickens.
For example, Jim Crow was an inherently racist law and the war on drugs was racist through practice. I think they're both 2 word phrases that begin with "in" or "en," but I can't for the life of me remember what they are. If anyone has any pointers as to where I can get an answer, that'd be appreciated as well.

These are my experiences with gaslighting and devaluing partially for my own record so I don't forget this was done. Please comment with any examples of your own or if you experienced this as well. I could go on, I didn't realize HOW MANY phrases/tactics I'd experienced.
- Outright rewriting events. "(after insisting we go) I had a great time today."/weeks later when redirecting attention away from something he did, "You forced me to go to _____ for Christmas!"
- Discontent at me being content veiled as concern**** "We need to find you a new game to play." (As I'm happily playing the same game for hours without complaint.) "Maybe we can find a local group of friends so you're not so lonely." I wasn't lonely, I had plenty of friends. (This "concern" became obviously weird when he kept bringing up the topic as if I viewed I'd mentioned it first.)
- Reassuring me of things I wasn't worried about. "You look great, I don't mind your stomach at all." These comments are more common when I'm exercising actively compared to when I'm complaining about my body.
- Requesting something and then acting like they never requested it. "I wish you would wear something besides casual clothes around the house/wear makeup." When I start trying to put on makeup or mention dressing up: "I like you in PJs and a robe, you don't have to wear makeup. (literally insisting he didn't like it)" And definitely: If I dress up to go out with anyone that isn't him, even to just go alone to the store, "You aren't going on a date/meeting anyone (secretly) are you?"
- Monitoring object placement in the home/making you nervous about moving things. This is very subtle until it's obvious. "You moved the remote." I definitely hadn't touched it all day. Insisting I had and suddenly I have to defend the fact I didn't/it's an argument. "Did you have another man over?" If I use more than one cup during the day. "Was someone here?" When I have another game system out from the usual.
- TIED into object monitoring is reporting. I realized recently I had a habit of giving reports without even realizing it. "I did this today, played PS2 today with so and so, ect." and in the absence of reporting it spiked his paranoia which caused extreme statements like accusations of cheating just because a board game or cup was on the table with no prior explanation.
- Invalidating your job/hard work. "You don't know how it is to be tired" and other general put down
The Latin Monetary Union (“LMU") was a monetary union established in 1867 based on coinage standards originating with Napoleon in 1800 (specifically, the "Marengo," minted to commemorate Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Marengo). Officially, it included France, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Spain, Venezuela, and others. Many other countries either matched the standard (e.g., Finland, Poland, Serbia, etc) or mirrored the standard (e.g., Argentina, Russia). By World War I, the LMU coinage included most of continental Europe (excluding German states and Scandinavia), and many colonies/countries overseas. The LMU was initially bimetallic at a gold/silver ratio of 15.5.
According to the LMU standard, gold coin were minted at 0.9 fine (21.4 karats), including:
- 5 Currency Units - 0.0467oz gold (example)
- 10 Currency Units - 0.0933oz gold (example)
- 20 Currency Units - 0.1867oz gold (example)
- 25 Currency Units - 0.2334oz gold (example)
- 40 Currency Units - 0.3734oz gold (example)
- 50 Currency Units - 0.4667oz gold (example)
- 80 Currency Units - 0.7465oz gold (example)
- 100 Currency Units - 0.9334oz gold (example)
