Hey, do we have any Latin students here? I'm working on a project and need a bit of insight into the difference between two latin words.

    What are the words?

    I didn't study Latin, I do know a lot of people who have. I could ask.

    Latin words:

    loqui
    locutus

    And their roots, loqu and locut.

    Ineffectively, they have the same meaning. I don't understand latin suffixes and the like to understand the effective differences between the words, however.

    i took 3 years of it in high school. i wish now i had continued with it for my senior year and as my foreign language in college. my rudimentary french turned out to be worthless. i shoulda taken spanish.

    anyway, im not much help here. i was always a slacker in that class and it's been years since i used it. though occasionally i can intuit things in my law classes from it.

    for you maybe. i just killed about 2 minutes in my critically boring constitutional law class though, so it was very useful for me.

    That link pretty much summed up what my friend had to say about it.
