No, I am Spartacus!

Yeah? Well I'm Esquilax!

Or should perhaps I should clarify that. Magister mundi sum! (Trans: I am the master of the universe!) .

Nah, I don't want the responsibility.

Alright, now how do I say: "I am Sparticus!"?

---

facilis est - spartacus sum

---

Magister mundi sum!

---

Grammatically, that's right but in reality it should be dominus because magister means teacher or school master while dominus means lord, or master in your sense. (Sorry if this sounds superior in some way)

Plus, I just checked out that Latin translator on the first page, it is awful. (Again, no offence to anyone here) Instead, try this for Latin to English and this for English to Latin. (Assuming you haven't already punched in "Latin Dictionary" into Google)

Finally, (I stop boring and correcting everyone for a while more) does anyone know any good Latin curses besides meiuve?

IIRC my old latin teacher used to tell us that there was no word in Latin for a simple "yes" or "no"
So is it actually possible to say "No, I am Spartacus!"?

I think the Latin equivelent to "yes" is ita vero which means something like "truly thus"

I can't remember what "no" is, but I'm pretty sure it's not ita vero non or the like because non only accompanies a verb.

The Romans tended to use nonne (surely not) and num (surely) with no intonation to indicate a question (might be wrong on this). An example would be "We surely lost the money" - num pecuniam amisimus .
Note that I'm not certain on any of this, it's just a hunch.

Esq, mundi means world, not universe. Or are you lowering your sights a tad?

Hey, I took all of the above Latin statements from "Handy Latin Phrases" sort of sites. Don't blame me if they are incorrect, old son . I like this one, and it would be great for a bumper sticker;

Sic hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis propinquus ades. (Trans: If you can read this bumper sticker, you are both very well educated, and much too close).

It's probably incorrect though. Can we speak Klingon now?

mundi means world, not universe

The Romans didn't have a word for universe as they didn't know it existed. As you can guess from the fact we used their word unus in it.

Personally, I prefer Drow, and I don't know any Klingon.

Drow? What about Elvish? I wish I could speak Elvish.
