Vale, Obsculta

Lingua latina medievalis mihi non minus valet quam latina classica et simplicior est quam lingua classica - quanquam descriptiones linguistices rari sunt ac vocabularia saepe sermonem postclassicam neglegunt. Scilicet traditio Regularum aliter est.. Ego aestimo latinam postclassicam magnis ponderis esse et igitur Saxoni "Gesta Danorum" editionis bilinguis compravi ut tempore nativitatis legenda.

Recte dicis, Iverson, per se traditio latina medievalis valet. Fortasse videatur minus vel peior quam lingua classica, quia homines medievales ipsi voluerunt pervenire ad stylum classicum. Sed lingua medievalis praeest classicae in hoc modo: saepe medievalis proximior locutioni vulgari est, e.g., sermones sancti Augustini facile legi possunt (etiam, nempe, biblia vulgata Hieronimi). Ex contrario, sermones Bernardi Clairvallensis, scriptae modo auctorum classicorum, cum magna difficultate legendae sunt. Sed, ex magna parte, recentior facilior est.

Difficilissime est mutatio significationis verborum in cursu saeculorum. Saepe auctores medievales verba utuntur in modo quod ignotum auctoribus antiquis esset. Multi magistri grammaticae credunt hunc usum postclassicum malum esse. Nescio; fortasse sit melius discere in primis linguam Virgilii aut Ciceronis aut Caesaris, deinde auctores recentiores.

Ecce, exemplum grammaticae insolitae ex Regula Sancti Benedicti: "Et cum haec feceritis [i.e., divertus eritis a malo], oculi mei super vos, et aures meas ad preces vestras." Nonne legendum est "aures meae" pro "aures meas"? Multa exempla similia sunt.

Si legere historiam medievalem tibi placet, placeat tibi etiam Aelredus Rienvallensis, qui multas historias anglicas scripsit, scilicet de regibus anglicis, de Rege Eduardo confessore, etc.

Multi sunt homines quī linguam latīnam colloquendi causā in circulīs conveniuntur. In
Londīni, bis in mēnsis Circulus Latīnus Londiniēnsis latīne loquendī causā convenit.
Vērō, facile est legere, sed sī vultis, scrībere et loquere possis. Et Cybersitus
Schola et
Latīnum tibi utile sit.

Greetings. I'm hoping you can help me with a translation. I need to know how to say "drop the hammer" in Latin. The online translators spit out "cado pango" but a friend said he doesn't think that's correct.

?

Thanks

No that is most certainly not right lol!. Never trust any online translator, online dictionaries a fine (mostly) www.wordreference.com is best for modern languages
whereas Whilliam Whitaker's words are best for Latin

As for your phrase my answer is

scalam cecidi.

Ego credo que necesse est hic latine scribere... aut non scribere!

Certe, hoc modo penso, sed si in latine scripsissem, vir qui me questionem rogavit, non interlegat. Ei auxiliam dabam.
