Pronunciation help: all languages

[Teabender]

Sainte-Beuve says, "Il vient un age peut-etre quand on n'ecrit plus."

here is the file, spoken once fluently and once word by word so you can easier copy the pronunciation.

it means: maybe there will come a time when we won't write anymore

if you wish you can send me your file by PM so I can check how you did.

Hope this helps

Sonia

Thank you so, so much! Really appreciate how you say it both slow and at a natural pace, this is going to help a lot.

I'm looking for someone who is knowledgeable in Greek to help me with this short snippet: https://archive.org/details/lostgodwithillus00bouruoft/page/n8/mode/1up That should bring you to the exact page I need help with. It's one of the introductory pages in this book. I'd like to know what the Greek text says and preferably how to pronounce it as well. I've just launched this project, and I don't know whether I will include this little line or not. But I'm hoping that you (whoever you are) can help me decide!

The contrastive particle δ᾽ indicates that it is part of a larger phrase, but I can't find it anywhere else. In isolation it is ambiguous. I would read it as "but neither one of my two brothers cares about the other", or possibly "but no one else cares about my two brothers". The grammar seems to me a little fishy in both cases. eh-MOIN ah-del-FOIN thah-TEH-roy doo-DEN MEH-ley

That's interesting, thanks. I wonder why just that phrase was pulled out, if it is so unclear on its own. I would guess it is taken from Plutarch. He relates an anecdote about sailors who heard the words "Pan is dead" coming from nowhere, and this is what the book is based on.

I'm pretty sure any phrase from Plutarch would have Google hits. Even those first words "emoin adelphoin" (to/of my two brothers) have never been used in searchable Greek texts.

Hi
Need help to pronounce

“Ἐγώ εἰμι ἀναστάσις”

Hi Vineymala!

See if the Google Translate "Listen" function helps:

https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%E1%BC%98%CE%B3%CF%8E%20%CE%B5%E1%BC%B0%CE%BC%CE%AF%20%E1%BC%80%CE%BD%CE%AC%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%B9%CF%82%E2%80%9D&op=translate

Whenever you press the speaker icon it alternates between normal and a bit slower speed.

If that doesn't really help, I can make you a more natural recording.

Hi there. I was wondering if someone could help me correctly pronounce "Dummelow" author of "One Bible Commentary"? I would greatly appreciate it.

Would some kind soul who speaks Latin, please record the following to help me muddle my way through it?

Nulli, de nulla parte, neque ullo
Tempore, inane potest vacuum subsistere rei,
Quin sua quod natura petit concedere pergat.
Omnia quapropter debent per inane quietum
Æque ponderibus non æquis concita ferri.

It's a quote from Lucretius in De Natura Rerum, bk. ii, vv. 235-40.

Thanks in advance! You can upload the recording to my MC folder...

ha, you're in luck, only yesterday I did whole chapter of Latin text excerpts for my own solo, so I was already on a roll

here you are, first slowly word by word, then more fluent to make more sense of the sentence:

Disclaimer: obviously I'm not a native speaker and there two or three scholarly approaches to how to pronounce Latin, I chose the one I am familiar with.

Hope this helps
