‘yes’ and ‘no’ in latin

if anyone’s wondering; these two simple words don’t really exist in classical latin. however, there are phrases that can be used as a negation and affirmation. for instance:

phr. verum est - yes (literally that’s true)

sic adv. - yes (spanish sí/italian sì and other affirmative words in the romance languages derived from it)

ita adv. - yes (romanian da derived from it)

vere adv. - yes (literally true)

phr. false est - no (literally that’s false)

minime adv. - no (literally not at all)

Tempus fugit! And the intensity of memories also fades away until you sit in your armchair, with a cup of tea, and start re-reading the book of life, and past, and memories. Only then you realize, what you were and what you are. How much and how frequently the experiences have shaped and reshaped you. Only then you realize what was and wasn't worth it.

Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.
