Subdeacon Joe Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Deconstructing Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam usually abbreviated to Carthago delenda est: "The phrase employs the gerundive, a verbal adjective, of deleo, delere, delevi, deletum, "to destroy",[2] (delendus, -a, -um). The future passive participle "delenda" (meaning "to be destroyed") is then combined with the verb sum ("to be"[3]) or parts thereof, adds an element of compulsion or necessity, yielding "is to be destroyed", or, as it is more commonly rendered "must be destroyed". This then forms a predicative adjective.[4] This construction in Latin is known as the passive periphrastic. Carthago, -inis being a feminine noun, the feminine gender of the gerundive is applied. The fuller forms Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam or Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam use the so-called accusative and infinitive for the indirect statement."

Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 So I sez to Marcus Ophilius, “Dude, Caveat Emptor”! “Oh totes”, he responded. “E Pluribus Unum”. Then he split an infinitive and we laughed and laughed.

In tenth grade, I dropped my pencil in geometry class and bent over to get it. By the time I sat back up the teacher had apparently imparted the secret of math and I missed it. I never caught up.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 I've been to Carthage (Northern Tunisia) and it looks nothing like what you describe. Although the Romans did pretty much deconstruct it.
