How do you say 'I speak' in latin?

Answer 1

The word for 'Latin' is a bit tricky. 'Linguam latinam narro' would be 'I speak the Latin language.'

_____________________________________________________________

The use of "Narro" is inappropriate and should be replaced by "dicere" which means, "to speak". Narrois a verb meaning "to tell, relate".

A more appropriate way to say "I speak Latin" is, "latine possum dicere". This roughly translates to "I can speak in Latin/ I am able to speak in latin"

or you could say "latine dico"; but this could also be interpreted as "I am speaking latin" or "I speak latin". This would really only be appropriate if you were in fact speaking latin (present tense); in which case, you should not need to tell the other person that you are in fact speaking latin unless you enjoy talking to people in a language that they do not understand.

better yet: Loquor Latine

_______________________________________________________________

Simply a grammatical correction, "I can speak in Latin", or "In linguā latinā dicere possum", even "Linguam latinam dicere possum", which respectively translate to "I can speak in the latin language" and "I can speak the latin language". Possum, the verb, will always follow an infinitive in the latin language, except in the case of the enclitic syllable -ne in which, for example, possumne dicere would be at the beginning of the sentence.

_______________________________________________________________

Using Latine as an adverb is fine for saying "in the Latin Language". The preposition in would not carry over into Latin. Latine dicere possum would be the most vanilla word order, though the rule mentioned in the above post is not a hard and fast rule, but more of a tendency.
