Although the old men were tired, they hurried into the city is the English equivalent of 'Senes quamquam fessi erant in urbem festinabant'. The masculine gender noun 'senes', in the nominative plural as the subject of the sentence, means 'old men'. The conjunction 'quamquam' means 'although'. The masculine adjective 'fessi' is derived from the past participle of the infinitive 'fatiscere'. It's in the nominative plural, and means 'tired, exhausted'. The verb 'erant', as the third person plural of the imperfect indicative of 'esse', means '[they] were'. Combined into the present perfect, the phrase 'fessi erant' means '[they] have exhausted'. The preposition 'in' means 'in'. The noun 'urbem' means 'the city'. The verb 'festinabant', as the third person plural of the imperfect indicative of 'festinare', means '[they] hastened, hurried'.

What does the latin phrase eratis mean in English?

eratis is a helping verb, not a complete phrase in and of itself. It is the imperfect, 2nd person plural form of sum, esse, fui (to be), and means "were" when being used with a 2nd person plural verb, such as in the sentence 'You all were stupid" -- "vos eratis stulti". The conjugation pattern is as follows: Singular: eram -- 1st person eras -- 2nd person erat -- 3rd person Plural: eramus -- 1st person eratis -- 2nd person erant -- 3rd person

Who are gunslingers?

Gunslingers were the knights erant in a kingdom that was brought down by civil war. Think of Arthur and the knights of the round table with .45s. Roland was the last of the gunslingers in a world that has "moved on". A world that has worn out and fallen into entropy. All he has left is his quest to stop the complete destruction of his world. He is the last example of a better, more civilized time.


What does this mean Quando studebat in libris ei aliqui de familiaribus suis erant praesentes qui litteras ignorabant quod intellegebat legendo proprie et optime noverat coram illis transferre in?

The quote from the life of St. Lawrence which you are trying to copy paste reads:quando studebat in libris et aliqui de familiaribus suis erant praesentes qui litteras ignorabant, quod intellegebat legendo proprie et optime noverat coram illis transferre in gallicum de latinoThis is church Latin, and there isn't really enough of it to get the proper feel, but it says something like:when he was at work on his books and some of his companions were with him who were unable to read, whatever he could understand from his reading he directly and to the best of his ability translated into ?French? from Latin for their benefit.(?French? is in question marks because gallicum can occasionally mean other languages).
