actually, latin is not a romance language. off the top of my head(trust me) latin is actualy the language from which romance languages are derived from which is latin. so, i think youre wrong as romance lanaguges MAY help with latin, but in fact, they are not so and are actually in fact separate. thanks.

couldntve agree more

imagine a father had 5 children or more named french spanish italian portuguese & romanian or more, and then they got named by other people "Romance" *exclusively* for them,

they looked like their father but you dont say the father is part of the group

I didn't expect to ace that one. I've never seen most of those words, but I could see the connection between avarus and avarice, domus and domicile, caeruleum and cerulean, supra and super. I've heard of "semper fi", "ad hoc", "quid pro quo". I know vox from Apollo 13. I was able to guess most of them from life experience, and deduce the rest through the process of elimination.

20/20. Easy as I am a native French speaker (and I also learnt Latin when I was younger). Maybe there'll be (or there's alreaudy on the site) another quizz with a higher level of difficulty. Would be interesting to take :)

No... some of english's vocabulary is descended from latin/romance languages but its grammar and most of its standard vocabulary is primarily germanic

It's pretty cool how you can figure out the meaning of some Latin words using just logic without actually knowing the language. Wanna try it with whole phrases?

dictionaries usually list the first person instead of the infinitive, so I guess it's not completely wrong

(not a fan of that practice personally, but whatever)
