It's so annoying that it's going to rain!

[LenCabral]

Hi everyone,

Wondering how you might tackle an antecedent clause like "it's so annoying" in this example. Here's my attempt:

multum me vexat quod pluet.

Thanks!

I was thinking of moleste fero imbrem imminentem.

Hm, what about if the complement is more of a clear clause. Like in:

It's so annoying that you're going to betray me!

or something like that.

I looked into other source material https://latin.packhum.org/search?q=moleste fero quod
It appears there are 2 instanced in Cicero, where he used "moleste fero quod"
If that is correct, I could hazzard writing
moleste fero quod [imber instat/ imbres imminent / tempestat cooritur.]
moleste fero quod me [ proditurus es / prodes]

 

[syntaxianus]

I would say

Tam molestum est pluviam mox venturam [esse].


But I see that pluiturum is not unknown in the later Latin tradition, so, if you want to sound really up-to-date in your Latinity:

Tam molestum est pluiturum [esse].

What about something like taedet, for the first? It doesn't sound strong enough for a betrayal though.

Don't you think taedet is a little too strong?

L&S: s.v., taedet: "It disgusts, offends, wearies one; I ( thou, he, etc.) am disgusted, offended, tired, weary of, I loathe, etc.;"

 

[cinefactus]

Fair enough. It sounded not as bad as piget
