LIST OF LATIN PHRASES (FULL)

(Redirected from Alphabetic list of translations of latin phrases)
This page lists direct English translations of 'common Latin phrases', such as ''veni vidi vici'' and ''et cetera''. Some of the phrases are themselves translations of Greek phrases, as Greek rhetoric and literature reached its peak centuries before that of Ancient Rome.
This list is a combination of the three divided "List of Latin phrases" pages, for users who have no trouble loading large pages and prefer a single page to scroll or search through. The contents of the list cannot be edited here, and are kept automatically in synch with the divided lists through use. See List of Latin phrases (A–E), List of Latin phrases (F–O) and List of Latin phrases (P–Z) for the editable, segmented list, which has the same content as this page, but spread over three pages.

Notes


# ''Cave Canem''
# ''Exempli gratia'' (e.g.) and ''id est'' (i.e.) are commonly confused and misused in colloquial English. The former, ''exempli gratia'', means "for example", and is used before giving examples of something ("I have lots of favorite colors, e.g., blue, green, and hot pink"). The latter, ''id est'', means "that is", and is used before clarifying the meaning of something, when elaborating, specifying, or explaining rather than when giving examples ("I have lots of favorite colors, i.e., I can't decide on just one"). Both "e.g." and "i.e." should generally be followed by a comma, just as "for example" and "that is" would be. See Dictionary.com and their discussion of commas for more information. Google for "comma after i.e." for other opinions.
