Everything about List Of Latin Phrases totally explained
This page lists direct
English translations of
common Latin phrases, such as
veni vidi vici and
et cetera. Some of the phrases are themselves translations of
Greek phrases, as
Greek rhetoric and literature were highly regarded in
Ancient Rome when Latin rhetoric and literature were still maturing.
Be aware that the Latin letter
i can be used as either a
vowel or a
consonant. When used as a consonant, it's often replaced by the letter
j, which was originally simply an orthographic "long i" that was used in initial positions and when it occurred between two other vowels. This medieval convention is most commonly preserved in Latin legal terminology—hence phrases like
de iure are often spelled
de jure. On this list, the more common form will be the one a phrase is listed under: thus,
de jure is used instead of
de iure, and
alea iacta est instead of
alea jacta est.
