Quid sum? (What am I?) Latin writing game

[Pacifica]

I'm flummoxed.

 

[Bitmap]

ego numquam vobis blandita sum, etiam si vobis animus defecit pugnantibus;
ego tantum vos mulsi dicens "nolite pavere!" quo dicto recreati fuistis ad novas viris.
num quid dolor et labor intersunt, si bona efficimus? si pro pauperrimis huius terrae pax et libertas cogitur?
ego semper recte dico, et haec, o sodales, vera manebunt:
is, qui pro iustitia pugnat, semper recte dicit contra fraudem et servitutem!
is, qui vitam offendit, vel stultus vel malus est; is autem, qui gentem hominum defendit, semper recte dicit!
ex Ulianovi animo nata cresco ab Iosepho confirmata:
quidnam sum?
quidnam sum?
quidnam suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum?

I suppose you are the Communist Party.
Ulianovus] Lenin; Владимир Ильич Ленин, vel Владимир Ильич Ульянов
Iosephus] Stalin; Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин vel Иосиф Виссарионович Джугашвили
Esse videris nihil aliud nisi Factio Communistica, quae in Unione Sovietica КПСС, in Germania KPD, postea SED (i. e. Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands) appellabatur.
Est famosissimum quoddam canticum cuius verba haec sunt (abs te Latine reddita!):

Das Lied der Partei

Sie hat uns alles gegeben.
Sonne und Wind und sie geizte nie.
Wo sie war, war das Leben.
Was wir sind, sind wir durch sie.
Sie hat uns niemals verlassen.
Fror auch die Welt, uns war warm.
Uns schützt die Mutter der Massen.
Uns trägt ihr mächtiger Arm.

Die Partei, die Partei, die hat immer Recht!
Und, Genossen, es bleibe dabei;
Denn wer kämpft für das Recht,
Der hat immer recht.
Gegen Lüge und Ausbeuterei.
Wer das Leben beleidigt,
Ist dumm oder schlecht.
Wer die Menschheit verteidigt,
Hat immer recht.
So, aus Leninschem Geist,
Wächst, von Stalin geschweißt,
Die Partei - die Partei - die Partei.

I knew you would solve this ... (because you know so much random stuff)

 

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

I got the Lenin and Stalin references, but was unsure what particular apparition of THE LEFT you were screeching about this time.

I wasn't screeching about anything. I simply translated the lyrics of that song (in no unfair way, I think).

 

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

I freely admit that I didn't get that reference (hats off to Agrippa!), and would as cheerfully characterise the writer as out where the buses don't run as I would any rightwing nutnut. But I'm vaguely irked that for people like you I'm associated with it, because somehow it belongs to the Left, as I do (though I've never been quite sure what this general judgement is based on).

The ablative goes with instructa rather than sum.

"I am a thing equipped with very many dense teeth."

Est mus tectus villo?
“It is a mouse, covered with hair”?

 

[Pacifica]

Est mus tectus villo?
“It is a mouse, covered with hair”?

To keep things simple: yes, it can translate that way.

 

[Agrippa]

Est mus tectus villo?
“It is a mouse, covered with hair”?

How to link up with Quid sum? (What am I?) Latin writing game?

 

[Pacifica]

John was only asking grammar questions. It's your turn to post a riddle.

 

[Agrippa]

Verbum sum sex litterarum.

Significo parvam rem oblongam, quae ictibus mallei, ut exemplo utar, in duas tabulas ligneas ita infigitur ut inter se cohareant.

Si unam ex sex meis litteris altera commutaveris, habebis verbum quo locus devexus significatur.

Quod sum verbum?

In quod verbum - una littera commutata - me convertere potes?

 

[Pacifica]

Quod sum verbum?

Clavus.

In quod verbum - una littera commutata - me convertere potes?

Clivus.

Fulmine celerior fuisti in verbis investigandis.

 

[Pacifica]

Me fabula est nutrimentum esse caelo delapsum, cuius ipsum nomen significet dubitari quid sim. Nomina me, quaeso.

 

[john abshire]

Fulmine celerior fuisti in verbis investigandis.

Agrippa, replies are supposed to be in English. Please consult the rules on page 1.
(Translating the original post/ challenge is hard enough, for us beginners anyway.)

Me fabula est nutrimentum esse caelo delapsum, cuius ipsum nomen significet dubitari quid sim. Nomina me, quaeso.

Nescio an cogites de manna; Hebraice מָן הוּא ("man hu", id est "Quid est?")?
2 Mos 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was.

 

[Pacifica]

Recte dicis.

 

[john abshire]

Animalia, liquores, et cogitationes moveo.
Quid sum?
