Watch this pretty little houseleek illustrated that our last post . Jovibarba. Sempervivum yet named, still live literally. Paradoxical name for a plant monocarpic It flowers once then dies. A bit like our imperfect subjunctive ...
You will say "beard!" Jovibarba, Jupiter's beard. Nomenclature since very ancient traces are found in chapter cities, a legislative act of the Carolingian period. Remember Carolus Magnus, the Emperor with the flowing beard, his missi ... dominici We are delighted once in elementary school with these wonders. The missi controlled the implementation of the charter. Charlemagne wanted to keep an eye on the cultures of royal gardens, where the presence of plant lists among the many items the chapter. It deplored the already very bad management areas Francie! It was necessary to harmonize all that. A whole team of "scientists" has participated in drafting the act. Which Alcuin (735-804), a guru of the small renaissance that started at the time. These barbarians are to classical Latin. But the good people have no idea and do not include more of the Latin kitchen novices. Instead of copying again a Bible in Latin, one begins to transcribe the language a bit rustic, a little Germanic: French dude! One can not but feel nostalgia for that time Mataitai where the Saxon pagan and when Europe was beginning to resemble something other than ridiculous diocese of Thrace. The rulers were not devoid of ambition.
"We, Charles the First, want our estates, we have made for our needs, our services are fully and not to other men."
"What our domesticity is well treated and is led to poverty through anybody ..."
As for our little game yesterday Lucia Mel won. There were actually four subjunctives entirely displaced in the text (see his comment ). Just put the subject in the plural to be able to identify by ear whether to choose a subjunctive or a simple past. "The president was so powerful that congratulated him" to work, it is indeed a simple past, you must choose "congratulations" and no no "felicitate". It is very well explained on this video which I used to make my post yesterday ...
