What do great men like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt all have in common?
From the Middle Ages until about the middle of the 20th century, Latin was a central part of a man’s schooling in the West. Along with logic and rhetoric, grammar (as Latin was then known) was included as part of the Trivium – the foundation of a medieval liberal arts education. From Latin, all scholarship flowed and it was truly the gateway to the life of the mind, as the bulk of scientific, religious, legal, and philosophical literature was written in the language until about the 16 th century. To immerse oneself in classical and humanistic studies, Latin was a must.
Grammar schools in Europe and especially England during this time were Latin schools, and the first secondary school established in America by the Puritans was a Latin school as well. But beginning in the 14 th century, writers started to use the vernacular in their works, which slowly chipped away at Latin’s central importance in education. This trend for English-language learning accelerated in the 19 th century; schools shifted from turning out future clergymen to graduating businessmen who would take their place in an industrializing economy. An emphasis on the liberal arts slowly gave way to what was considered a more practical education in reading, writing , and arithmetic.
While Latin had been dying a slow death for hundreds of years, it still had a strong presence in schools until the middle of the 20 th century. Beginning in the 1960s, college students demanded that the curriculum be more open, inclusive, and less Euro-centric. Among their suggested changes was eliminating Latin as a required course for all students. To quell student protests, universities began to slowly phase out the Latin requirement, and because colleges stopped requiring Latin, many high schools in America stopped offering Latin classes, too. Around the same time, the Catholic Church revised its liturgy and permitted priests to lead Mass in vernacular languages instead of Latin, thus eliminating one of the public’s last ties to the ancient language.
While it’s no longer a requirement for a man to know Latin to get ahead in life, it’s still a great subject to study. I had to take classes in Latin as part of my “Letters” major at the University of Oklahoma, and I really enjoyed it. Even if you’re well out of school yourself, there are a myriad of reasons why you should still consider obtaining at least a rudimentary knowledge of the language:
Knowing Latin can improve your English vocabulary. While English is a Germanic language, Latin has strongly influenced it. Most of our prefixes and some of the roots of common English words derive from Latin. By some estimates, 30% of English words derive from the ancient language. By knowing the meaning of these Latin words, if you chance to come across a word you’ve never seen before, you can make an educated guess at what it means. In fact, studies have found that high school students who studied Latin scored a mean of 647 on the SAT verbal exam, compared with the national average of 505.
Knowing Latin can improve your foreign language vocabulary. Much of the commonly spoken Romanic languages like Spanish, French, and Italian derived from Vulgar Latin. You’ll be surprised by the number of Romanic words that are pretty much the same as their Latin counterparts.
Many legal terms are in Latin. Nolo contendere. Mens rea. Caveat emptor. Do you know what those mean? They’re actually common legal terms. While strides have been made to translate legal writing into plain English, you’ll still see old Latin phrases thrown into legal contracts every now and then. To be an educated citizen and consumer, you need to know what these terms mean. If you plan on going to law school, I highly recommend boning up on Latin. You’ll run into it all the time, particularly when reading older case law.
Knowing Latin can give you more insight to history and literature. Latin was the lingua franca of the West for over a thousand years. Consequently, much of our history, science, and great literature was first recorded in Latin. Reading these classics in the original language can give you insights you otherwise may have missed by consuming it in English.
Moreover, modern writers (and by modern I mean beginning in the 17th century) often pepper their work with Latin words and phrases without offering a translation because they (reasonably) expect the reader to be familiar with it. This is true of great books from even just a few decades ago (seems much less common these days – which isn’t a hopeful commentary on the direction of the public’s literacy I would think). Not having a rudimentary knowledge of Latin will cause you to miss out on fully understanding what the writer meant to convey.
Below we’ve put together a list of Latin words and phrases to help pique your interest in learning this classical language. This list isn’t exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination. We’ve included some of the most common Latin words and phrases that you still see today, which are helpful to know in boosting your all-around cultural literacy. We’ve also included some particularly virile sayings, aphorisms , and mottos that can inspire greatness or remind us of important truths. Perhaps you’ll find a Latin phrase that you can adopt as your personal motto. Semper Virilis!

While you might think Latin is a dying language, you may not realize how much of this ancient language you use every day! Hundreds of words—like agenda, census, alibi, memo, versus, and alumni —are all considered common words of the English language. There are even entire Latin phrases that have become so naturalized that we don’t think twice when using them.
Many Latin expressions like these are quite familiar and used regularly, but there seem to be just as many words and phrases that go criminally underused. We’ve compiled a list of 60 common and uncommon Latin phrases, sayings, mottos and expressions to incorporate into your daily conversations to sound more eloquent and knowledgeable. Most only consist of a few words, so the next time you want to seize the day (or seize the wine) you’ll have a cool Latin phrase up your sleeve.
Our list of 60 Latin phrases is sure to spice up your daily chats and leave your friends in awe of your erudite ways. Looking to impress your coworkers or step up your playful, competitive trash-talking? Brush up your skills on one of the oldest classical languages and commit these short yet inspiring Latin phrases (and their meanings) to memory.
While there is life , there is hope.
Today it’s me, tomorrow it will be you.
Through fire, nature is reborn whole.
Let them hate so long as they fear.
Freedom will flood all things with light.
With hard work, all things increase and grow.
The act done by me against my will is not my act.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
In the absence of light, darkness prevails.
The time are changing, and we change in them.
Virtue strives for what is difficult.
Every man is the artisan of his own fortune.
A beard doesn’t make one a philosopher.
Nothing [is] arduous for the willing.
Mindful of what has been done, aware of what will be.
He who wants everything loses everything.
Lead in order to serve, not in order to rule.

The fact that most people in Latin American countries speak Spanish helps unify us as a people, but when it comes to slang, each country has words that set them apart from the others. You may be completely fluent in Spanish , yet not know some of the lingo from countries besides yours. Luckily, we’ve compiled a handy list of often-used slang words from 11 Latin American countries.
In the DR, they say “Que lo que?!” (also abbreviated as ke lo ke, klok or klk). It is a way to say “what’s up?,” but can also mean WTF.
Although this word is also said in other Latino countries, wepa is a popular slang word in Puerto Rico. It is exclaimed in celebration, and also means “cool,” “congratulations,” and “good job.”
Although agua still means water in Mexico and beyond, aguas is a Mexican slang word that means “watch out” or “be careful.” This comes from the time when households would toss their dirty water out; before doing so, they would yell “aguas,” to those nearby to warn them. Bonus fact: Selena sings aguas in the beginning of the song “ El Toro Relajo .”
The word puchica is a slang term used in El Salvador and other Latin American countries such as Guatemala. It’s a swear word (not so much in Guatemala) that means “damn” or “oh shit,” conveys shock or awe, but is also a way to be polite and not say puta .
Deacachimba is a Nicaraguan slang word that means “f-in awesome” or “super cool.” It appears to be a word that is exclusively used in Nicaragua.
The Cuban word asere originated from the Nigerian Ibibio-Efik word esiere , which is a greeting of the Afro-Cuban Abakuá religion. It means “I salute you,” and is used to call someone “buddy” or “homie.” (In Spanish dictionaries, acere means a smelly troop of monkeys.) Que bola means “what’s up,” so together the above phrase means “What’s up, friend?”
Chevere is a word used a lot in Colombia, but it also used in other Latin American countries. It means “great” or “cool.”
In Venezuela, beta can signify gossip/a story/rumor/news, a problematic scenario, or a thing.
Huachafo(a) is a slang term used in Peru and other countries. La huachaferia is trying to pretend you are something you are not, and/or being ostentatious. It also means someone or something who is tacky.
As mentioned above, in Chile, weon is a way to address everyone and everything. Depending on the context and/or delivery, it can be used as a term of endearment or as an insult. It is derived from the word huevon (also spelled hueón and güeón ), which generally means a lazy person or an idiot.
You will hear the word boludo(a) a lot from Argentinians. This is another slang term that can be nice or mean, depending on the context, delivery, and tone. It can be a term of endearment for a friend, or could mean “jerk” or “stupid” to a foe. The word is even used as a verb. Boludear can mean “to do something unimportant,” or “to BS someone/mess with someone.” A boludez is “something that is easy,” or “something unimportant.”

Salvete, omnes ! That’s "hello everyone" or “hey, y’all” in Latin. You may have heard Latin is a dead language. Not so! Latin is fundamental to the vocabulary of millions of people. Even leaving aside Italian, Spanish, French, and all the other languages that evolved directly from Latin, many English words have their roots in the tongue of ancient Rome. Discover a great list of Latin vocabulary words, organized by part of speech.
As you browse our list of Latin adjectives, you may have a bit of a familiar feeling. By various estimates, anywhere between 20 and 60 percent of English vocabulary comes straight from Latin. See how many derivatives you can pick out in the following Latin word list! (If you need a quick refresher on telling adverbs from adjectives, our examples of parts of speech are standing by.)
As in English, Latin adverbs are mostly adjectives with a special suffix at the end . Latin takes off the ending and adds -e . English does much the same with -ly . Happening in a happy way? That’s “happily.” Going down fast? That’s “quickly.” However, there are some unusual Latin adverbs you’ll want to memorize, because, like English, the weird adverbs are the important ones. Bene comes up every bit as often as the English word “well.”
A frankly absurd number of English nouns come from Latin. It’s a good rule of thumb that if an English word is longer than two syllables, there’s a good chance it’s from Latin, Greek or both . Yes, both: Latin borrowed many Greek words, then English pillaged Latin.
Examples of Latin nouns that start with the letters "a" through "f" include:
Latin nouns starting with the letters "g" through "l" include:
Latin nouns that begin with the letters "m" through "o" include:
Latin nouns that start with the letters "p" through "x" include:

Latin verbs that begin with the letters "a" through "f" include:
Latin verbs starting with the letters "g" through "m" include:
Latin verbs that start with the letters "n" through "v" include:
