Latin Phrase: Drink Now, Die Later!
by Vani
Dear Latin Teacher, While you live, man, drink, for after death there is nothing The verb vives is future tense, so the phrase literally means As long as you will live... What does this really mean, though? Drink until you die? Drink now, die later? Although the great nothingness might drive some to drink, others find another use for their time on earth. Learning Latin, for example. In Latin there are several verbs meaning to ask. Here are a few: rogat: He asks interrogat: He asks rather pointedly quaerit: He seeks, asks for petit: He seeks, looks for orat: He begs, beseaches poscit: He demands Hope this helps, and thanks for asking a Latin teacher!
