Veni, Vidi, Vici (Second Edition): Conquer Your Enemies and Impress Your Friends with Everyday Latin by Eugene H Ehrlich
An updated edition of Eugene Ehrlich's classic yet cheeky guide for using everyday Latin to your advantage
As entertaining as it is informative, VENI, VIDI, VICI has more than 1,000 Latin words and phrases to help you intelligently compliment, insult, or comment on anything at all. Each word is accompanied by a direct translation, actual meaning or English equivalent, and pronunciation. With a new introduction and updated explanations, this timeless advice and wisdom is just as relevant today as it was in ancient Rome:
- "Audacter calumniare semper aliquid haeret" - Slander boldly, something always sticks
- "Corpus valet sed aegrotat crumena" - What good is health if you can't afford to enjoy it?
- "Militiae species amor est" - Love is a kind of military service
Eugene Ehrlich authored and edited a number of dictionaries, including the first Oxford American Dictionary and Amo, Amas, Amat and More.
