RE: Learning Italian with thenightflier: LESSON 1 - back to extreme basics

in #travel7 years ago

Awesome!! I always think it's funny how the word for 'left' in other languages is like 'sinister' 'weird' 'crazy'. As a lefty I'm like ...hmm is there something I should know about here??

Yes, we use also "sinistro" with the meaning of weird, or disturbing, worrying. Even the English language has latin influence due the ancient roman domination you know... but there are hundreds of words coming from Latin, it would be interesting a list of them and a comparison with the different meanings.
