Oops....didn't read this post xD Goodnight Kimba!!

Yupsheis, and she has a Limit Move with Sora, it's one of my favorites actually.

Umm okay,

Salve/salvete: It's a general greeting and it is used for both hello and goodbye. It can also be used for good day or good morning. Actually, there's no specific phrase for good afternoon/evening/night, so I guess you could use Salve for that too.

Salveo: verb that means to be in good health or to be well. It that form it means 'I am well or I am in good health.

salves- You are well/in good health
salvet- He/she/it is well.
salvemus- We are well.
salvetis- You are all well/ You are well (tis is plural verb ending of you.)
salvent- They are well.

quomodo vales: literal translation of how are you. Instead you could just use the suffix -ne, which makes the word it's attached to a question (and through that the word's accompanied phrase or sentence.)...well as long as its a yes or no question anyway...
An example would be: salvene- that would mean: You are well?...of course I could be wrong, remember I'm a little rusty.

grates: Literally translates to Thanks.
There's no real phrase for your welcome, but you could probably use "grates tuus accepto" which translates to "I accept your thanks" I also might have grates and tuus in the opposite positions, but I'm pretty sure I have it right.

[Bai Hikari Tsubasa]

Wow, now I want to see the moves 4laugh

cool, so basically, I need to remember Salve the most, and the other greetings shouldn't be too hard ^^ Thanks is easy to remember too, sounded like grateful xD

Okee, now for numbers in chinese:
yi - one
er - two
san - three
si - four
wu - five
liu - six
qi (pronounced as chi) - seven
ba - eight
jiu - nine
shi - ten
bai - hundred
qian - thousand

So, basically when you want to make a bigger number, you just pronounce the two of the numbers together. eg:

100 - yi bai (the number one and hundred bai)
20 - er shi
31 - san shi yi

[KimbaAladi]

Yeah it's awesome, it allows them to fly. When you start it, Mushu comes out and shoots fire everywhere. Then when the reaction comes up and you plus triangle, all the flames go forward. Then when the other command comes up and you press x the flames circle around Sora and he can use em like a damaging shield. Then it finishes with Sora and Mulan throwing Mushu in the air and he shoots fireballs at all the enemies on the ground.

Mmhmm, another way to remember salve is that the words salute and salutations come from it. Thanks reminded me of gracias from spanish.

Cool, the numbers are pretty easy, its like how they taught me math when I was little. Latin numbers are pretty easy too.

1. unus (root un-)
2. duo
3. tres (root tre)
4. quattuor
5. quinque (root quin-)
6. sex (root se-)
7. septem
8. octo
9. novem
10. decem
20. viginti
30. triginta
40. quadraginta
50. quinquaginta
60. sexaginta
70. septuaginta
80. octoginta
90. nonaginta
100. centum (also can be used to indicate any really big number)
1000. mille

For numbers that end in 1-9 just add the root in front of the word for the other number.
like 11 (undecem), 22 (duoviginti), 33 (tretriginta).

For hundreds you do the same but add centi or genti at the end. Ditto for thousand just use milli.
I might have the spelling wrong though. sweatdrop

[Bai Hikari Tsubasa]

Woah, Mushu's taking the center stage of actions!! xD Dang, I want to see it now razz

Ooo, the numbers are also easy for Latin biggrin Yipee, I am learning Latin!!! >8D And the centi and milli is easy to remember, like centimeter and millimeter >3

Anyways, now for some...how do you call it..pronoun?

Wo - I
Wo shi - I am
Ni - You
Ni Shi - you are
Ta - he/she
Ta shi - s/he is
Wo de - mine
Ni de - yours
Ta de - His/Her

Basically, de is just like 's in English. Eg. Robbin's ball = Robbin de ball

or

Kimba's pet = Kimba de pet

[KimbaAladi]

Mmhmm, still, I wish Mulan had some cool sword moves or something.

YES! Latin pronouns are so easy. I can actually list them without having to stare at the computer screen trying to remember.

ego: I (to turn it into I am just add its ending suffix to the other word's root. Suffix -o/-m)
me: me
tu: you (Suffix -s)
nos: we/us (Suffix -mus)
vos: you (Plural; Suffix -tis)
ille/illa/illud: he/she/it (Masculine, feminine, and neuter forms, in that order.) (Suffix -t)
illum/illam: him/her (same)
illi/illae/illa: they/those (same as the last two) (Suffix -nt)
illos/illas: them/those (same)
qui/quae/quod: who/which (same)
quem/quam: whom
quos/quas/quos: whom/whom/which
quis/quid: which/what
hic/haec/hoc: this
hi/hae/haec: these

To show possession, there's really no apostrophe. Instead you use the Genitive case. You take the word that is being possessed and place it before the word that has ownership. The word that has ownership should be in the Genitive case.

Example: "canes ancillae" "The girl's dog" or "The dog of the girl" (by the way, 'the' is always implied)
canes: dog; ancilla: girl.

...Okay, so maybe it only seems easy to someone who had the class two-years both semesters... stare

[Bai Hikari Tsubasa]

Same here, it would be cool to see Mulan's sword moves ^^

Wow....the pronoun are harder to remember xD

Here's some more:

shen me - what
shui - who
ji shi - when
wei shen me - why
zen me - how
na li - where
shi - yes
bu shi - no
zhe - this
na - that

sometimes it may be confusing in terms of referring to "this"/"that"/"yes"/"no".

For eg. bu shi meant no but when someone asks you the question - do you want something, if you don't want it, you have to say: "bu yao" instead of "bu shi". But overall, the word "bu" indicates towards not wanting something, no or something negative. But let's not get confuse with that first, just say "bu" for no xD

"Shi" on the other hand, can meant yes/is/am. They have the same pronounciation/tones and the same writing, but yeah...they meant yes, is and am at the same time.

It can get confusing, but overall, let's just ignore those and stay with what is said above xd

We haven't get into the real confusing part yet lol

[KimbaAladi]

Or at least see her light some fireworks...even if Mushu technically does that... stare

ita vero: yes (there's actually no specific word that means yes, but ita vero is as close as you're gonna get. It actually means "thus indeed"
minime: no (same for minime. it actually means "not at all" or "by no means".
there's also non, which means not.

I've actually been skipping over most of the confusing stuff. Like the two other noun cases.

[Bai Hikari Tsubasa]

lol that would be nice too mrgreen

some animal names:

gou - dog
mao - cat
niao - bird
yu - fish
tu - rabbit
su - mouse/rat
zhu - pig
niu - cow
yang - goat
mian yang - sheep

Yeah, but you haven't get to the 4 tones part yet. those are the real hard ones to teach ><

[KimbaAladi]

canis: dog
feles: cat
avis: bird
piscis: fish
lepus: hare/rabbit
mus: mouse
sus: pig/sow/swine/hog
vacca: cow (used specifically for a female cow)
bos: ox/cow (general term)
oryx: goat/gazelle
ovis: sheep

[Bai Hikari Tsubasa]

Ah, so the scientific name for timber wolf (canis lupus) is Latin xd

[KimbaAladi]

all of them are, but timber wolf's scientific name just means: Dog Wolf.

[Bai Hikari Tsubasa]

so lupus meant wolf 3nodding
