  • Anybody speak Latin?

    Hello- It's homecoming week and the seniors posted a sign that says

    Ee Tu Freshman? NO!

    I'm not a freshman- i just want to know what Ee Tu means. Thanks

      I'm guessing "are you", like in French, "es tu"...

        No clue.
        However I i bet the sign means something to the effect of "go home freshmen" or "No freshmen" or "freshmen not allowed" or something like that

          I doubt it...I know for a fact that tu means you.

          I don't think Ee means go home

            Probably!! I do like their homecoming themes shirts. They are cavemen this year, so their shirts are orange and have the Fred Flintstone tie on it and it says YABBA DABBA FRESHMAN on the back...

            But you are probably rite there Airbus_A320

              Hehehe, your school has some damn creative seniors...

              'Et tu' means "and you" in Latin, and in Spanish 'y tu' means "and you"...so they combined the two and made it "ee tu"...

                How does "Et" and "y" make "Ee"? Shouldn't it be "Ey" then?

                      Then it means:
                      "And you freshman? NO!"

                      ...as I said b4.

                      See...2 yrs since I took Latin and I still know it!

                          Sounds a bit like an attempt at Caesar's "Et tu, Brute?" He allegedly said that when he saw his adopted son Brutus among the conspiracists after being stabbed.

                              No, and never was, although I took classes. Probably another bad teacher whose way to teach the declinaisons proved to be a lure in escaping from the classroom !
