Here... I want to say "Leisure time activity". Is "negotium otii" proper for that? I suggested to use genitive. Is there a way to express it by means of noun adjunct??
Or based on the discussion about genitive above "otii negotium"???
thank you for helping...
By the way, hi culúrien... It's a little bit piracy to write into your topic but i just didn't open a new one
Yours was at the top of the list among these the most relevant to my issue. I also started to learn Latin recently...
Hello, I don't have any idea about how to say 'Leisure time activity', but Otium means leisure time as you know. Negotium means 'business', 'occupation' and 'employment', but not activity
. What are you exactly trying to say?
Nevertheless, you have to be aware that people normally doesn't study Latin to be actually able to write and/or speak it (unless you are the Pope
), but mainly to read it, and that a lot of modern vocabulary and expressions are probably non-existant.
