M. Porcius Cato Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 A friend asked me how to translate "Talk nerdy to me" to Latin. My first guess was Nerditas dicte mihi. But I'm wondering if dice would be a better choice. Does dice connote 'tell' more than 'talk'. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 dicere has more of a connotation of 'to speak, to tell'...which sounds more appropriate, I think. It's the one I'd start with, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
