Fabella II: Estne?

(The images used in the header are from Pixabay)

Salvete amicis! 
 I wrote a short story. It's very short, but I am glad I wrote it because I felt like I learned a lot: 


"Est Tiresias somnum? Est Athena Somnum?" susurrabant mater, 

("Is Tiresias asleep? Is Athena asleep?" whispered mother,) 


"Sic" susurrabant pater,

("Yes" whispered father,) 

"Est iauna jauna?" susurrabant mater, 

("Is the door closed?" whispered mater,) 

"Sic" susurrabant Pater, 

("Yes" whispered father,) 

"Fecit relinquo oblation ut deorum?" susurrabant mater, 

("Did you leave an offering to the gods?" whispered Mater,) 

"Sic" susurrabant Pater,

("Yes" whispered father,) 

"Estne gratus?"  susurrabant mater, 

("Are they greatful?" whispered Mater,) 

"Verisimile"  susurrabant Pater. 

("Probably" whispered Pater.)

Fabella I: Apud Quod Domo

                 (The painting used in this header is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_art#/media/File:Pompejanischer_Maler_um_10_20_001.jpg, and the stars used in it are from Pexels) 

Salvete amicis! So I didn't blog that much in 2019, due to the fact that I started the blog near the end of the year. I very much intend to blog a lot in 2020, because this is one of the ways that I am learning Latin.

Here is a short fabella (story) I thought I'd post to start the new year:

             Apud Quod Domo 

 
(There is purposely nothing in front of her, so that you can see Luciana working at the loom from this side). 

                         Luciana est laborating vastae.
                       (Luciana is working at the loom.) 
                           

                                Diana est in domo.
                           ( Diana is in the house.) 





                           Aquila est lego ut Diana. 
                        (Aquila is reading to Diana.)
