The "Dharma Van A-Rockin'" T-Shirt?  I can't seem to find the meaning of "contractamus". I do know "et ego" means "and I".. |

The first thing that came to mind is to unite or union, which is pretty much the gist of the t-shirt. LOL Here is contractamus in the Latin Dictionary: www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookit.pl?latin=contractamusI think the term might be conmercium. Unfortunately, it sort of refers to "commercial" sex.  |

Yup, there are several verbs that mean "to have sex," but they are nearly all idiomatic. I didn't think "conmercium" would be the best fit so I suggested "contractare." The other choices are here: www.latin-dictionary.net/q/english/sex.html"Convenio" or "contrecto" might work as well...conjugated correctly they would be "convenimus" and "contrectamus." of course...I could always email my sexy professor and ask him which would be the best, but he might see it as a come-on...which could be quite nice, depending on his response.... * scrambles to the Naughty Corner*  |

I would again like to thank Tigerlily for her help in my latin translations  You're welcome luv!!  PS- 'conmercium' is also a noun, I think...so then the verb would be 'having' and it would change the sentence significantly. This is why Latin is hard - every word has a dozen different meanings!!  * working up the courage to ask Sexy Professor how to write risque Latin sentences* ;D ;D ;D |
