Other variations of Latin, such as Classical, Late, or Vulgar, would have pronounced the phrase differently. In Ecclesiastical Latin, the form typically used by the Roman Catholic Church, it would be pronounced veh-nee, vee-dee, vee-kee or veh-nee, vee-dee, vee-chee. Because English doesn’t fold its subjects into its verbs, the phrase is a little longer in English.īecause there are multiple forms of Latin, the phrase can be pronounced different ways. Therefore, “veni, vidi, vici” translates to “I came, I saw, I conquered,” despite only being three words long. To break that down a little, “first-person singular” refers to the fact that the subject is “I,” while “perfect indicative active” means that the action the subject performed occurred earlier than the current time. Veni, vidi, vici is a Latin phrase that literally translates to “I came, I saw, I conquered." Latin doesn’t require individual pronouns, as each word is conjugated from the “to be” form (“Venire, videre, vincere”) to the first-person singular perfect indicative active form. In this article, we’ll cover what the expression means, its historical context, and why it’s still commonly said today. But where did such a phrase come from? Why are people still saying it today? You’ve probably heard the phrase-or its English counterpart, “I came, I saw, I conquered”-before. And sorry for replying to something that isn't really a big deal - people can make their own opinions of who a person is (of course), but at least you have the right story.Veni, vidi, vici. Hopefully this has cleared up the fuzzy image that some of you have of my mate. And if he wants writing done, then he will go to a consultation, etc. He has learnt his lesson that if he wants to get a spontaneous tattoo again, he will not get any writing done. Yes, that is the artists fault for not checking the spelling himself, but it is my mates fault that he didn't double check that the writing was correct (again he just assumed the artist was using his stencil that he printed out for him).

The tattoo artist was also not under the influence, as he is a professional and works for quite a reputable place, but unfortunately, he did changed the stencil. Hence he wasn't under the influence (and it was 2pm.). But I'm assuming it might be because he doesn't like copying other people work.?Īlso, maybe surprisingly to some of you, a good night out for my mate is not drinking or doing drugs, as he's allergic to most alcohol and doesn't like drugs (plus he falls asleep at 9pm haha).
Also, no I have no idea why the artist changed it. I saw the image and it was correct), hence why he admitted that he didn't even really check if the stencil put on his arm was correct. My mate did actually check the spelling when he printed out his OWN stencil (and it had correct spelling. I just want to clarify, because I don't want everyone on here thinking "fuckin idiot", that Latin is not my mates first language, nor the tattoo artists. I mean no offence, but why are you assuming that everyone was drunk? People make mistakes! And honestly, tattoos aren't even that permanent anymore (ie. There was no waking up and not knowing where it's from. Click to expand.It was a spontaneous tattoo, but it wasn't one done late at night, so no.
