In French, we still use many phrases from latin language.
Here is a selection among my favorite :
-
Carpe diem = profite du jour présent ! “Seize the day”, enjoy the present!
-
Errare humanum est = l’erreur est humaine. It’s normal to make errors.
-
Ad vitam æternam = pour toujours. forever
-
Mea culpa = c’est ma faute. my mistake.
-
Cogito ero sum = je pense donc je suis. I think, therefore I am.
