I found a golden plate in my garage that reads:

"illigitimus non totem carbarondun."

Does anyone know what it means in English??
Thanks.

Hi, reading a book that I think is supposed to be set in London, and some of the phrases/words are just so not what I am used to...
Just want to know what it means when they say, "She went in the tube to Hatchards to buy books."
What is a tube?? Is that a bus??
Please clarify..thanks!!

I am going on my fourth language now and I've noticed that with all of them, once you know over a 1000 basic words you can usually converse at a basic level. Around 3000 and your at
a mid-high conversational level but still no where near fluent yet.
My estimation for near fluency would be at least 10,000 to 15,000 words.
What do you think?

I am naming my cottage as per tradition and it is located on a road with a latin name, so I thought it would be appropriate if it had a latin name. My research came up with " fragmentum di caelum", but i just tried translating the words. I am not sure if this is right. Thank you for your time.

Is Castilian Spanish considered proper Spanish, as compared to how it is spoken in Latin America? Like how English in the UK is considered more proper than in the USA.
2nd Question - In Spain, for "I Love You", would they say "Te Quiero"....or would they say "Te Amo" ? Which is more correct, at least in Spain?
