Hi. In Asterix Gladiator in latin page 13, Asterix and Obelix sees a ship:
Asterix: en navis! bene eveniunt optata
Obelix: nos proximam conscendere sine, ut pignore certare possimus
How would you translate this? I am thinking something like this:
Asterix: Look a ship! Happily our wishes come true
Obelix: Allow that we ?????, that we can make a competition
I really got some problem with how the word proximam is used.
Thank you in advance
Hi
I solved it.
It is sine - check Lewis/Short dictionary for the meaning: sino II,A,1
Obelix says: let us take the next ship, so that we can decide our bet
(he proposed a bet earlier)
so yes the proximam refers to the next ship.
Stumble It!
