How long did it take you to learn Latin?

[Mercuriulus Latinus]

Ignosce mihi, "non mihi licent optiones fororum epistulas transmittere."
Gratias...

Mutatio:
"Indirect discourse" non intellexi, credidi ut dicere transmittere epistulas voluisti.
Iam intellego, et Indirect discourse facere possum.

Alia Mutatio:
Iam intellego, et Indirect discourse facere (eo "Indirect Discourse" legere), sed espistulas transmittere non possum.

It still isn't correct. Licet is an impersonal verb meaning "it is permitted", not a personal transitive verb meaning "to permit".

Epistulas transmittere would normally mean something like "to transmit letters"; what do you mean by that?

No, I'm sorry but you can't, since you've done it wrong again in this very post (credidi ut dicere transmittere epistulas voluisti). Look it up in a grammar ("indirect discourse/speech" or "accusative and infinitive"). That will explain you how to correctly say in Latin things like "I say/think, etc. that...".

 

[Mercuriulus Latinus]

Repetitio est mater studorum; Gratias et vale!

Repetitio est mater studorum; Gratias et vale!

*studiōrum.

Dā veniam, jam somnolentus sum... somnō mē trādam.

Ac gratias tibi ago, Godmy, bonam noctem!
Cura ut valeas

Just so you know, Mercuriulus, 'indirect discourse' in Latin is oratio obliqua, and 'direct discourse' is oratio recta.

Presumably you mean you can't send private messages. You can't until your post count reaches a certain level.

In the meantime if you tell us why you want to send a pm we may be able to help.

I think the OP thought "indirect discourse" was a forum term for pms.

Vere dicis, gratias amica!

I take it, then, your need to actually send a pm has evaporated?

Nostine linguam Anglicam, Mercuriule?

 

[Mercuriulus Latinus]

Nostine linguam Anglicam, Mercuriule?

Linguam hispanicam italianamque nosco.

 

[Pacifica]

Qui tibi sermo patrius est?

 

[Mercuriulus Latinus]

Sermo patrius mihi Hispanicus est, ac linguam gallaeciam nosco.

 

[Pacifica]

Francogallicus mihi sermo patrius est.

 

[Mercuriulus Latinus]

Paulo Francogallice loquor, comment ça va? Es Franca?

 

[Pacifica]

Belga.

 

[Mercuriulus Latinus]
