Pig Latin is a twist of English for people who want to be silly, or for kids who don't want their parents to know what they're talking about. There are different ways in which people speak pig Latin. I only know a few ways. Here are the ways I have learned: \nFor words which begin with a single consonant take the consonant off the front of the word and add it to the end of the word. Then add ay after the consonant. Here are some examples:\n\ncat = atcay\ndog = ogday\nsimply = implysay\nnoise = oisnay\nFor words which began with double or multiple consonants take the group of consonants off the front of the word and add them to the end, adding ay at the very end of the word. Here are some examples:\n\nscratch = atchscray\nthick = ickthay\nflight = ightflay\ngrime = imegray\n\nFor words that begin with a vowel, just add yay at the end. For example:\n\nis = isyay \napple =appleyay\nunder = underyay\noctopus = octopusyay\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHere is another dialect for words that begin with a vowel. First, add a y at the beginning of the word. If the word ends in a vowel, add yay at the end. For example:\n\nextra = yextrayay\namuse = yamuseyay\norange = yorangeyay\necho = yechoyay\nIf the word ends in a consonent add y at the beginning of the word, and ay at the end of the word. For examle: \nanswer = yansweray\notter = yotteray\nexcellent = yexcellentay\ninterest = yinterestay\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHere is another variation of words that begin with a vowel and end in a consonant:\nAdd ay at the end. Examples:\nafter = afteray\ninstinct = instinctay\nolives = olivesay\nelect = electay\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHere is another dialect for both words that begin with consonants and words that begin with vowels.\nIf the word begins with a consonant, take the consonant(s) before the first vowel and put them at the end of the word, adding a at the end.For example:\ncrimson = imsoncra\nyellow = ellowya\nhi = iha\nIf the word begins with a vowel just add a at the end. For example:\nalaska = Alaskaa\never = evera\nand = anda\nigloo = iglooa

one more irony i can think of is in the beginning of the revolt the pigs talked about how bad the humans are... and by the end of the book they were walking on 2 feet, talking, and living in the house the farmer lived in. hope that helped.

It is a Drove of Pigs. Check this link for a whole lot of collective nouns\nhttp://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/collnoun.htm

A herd. The term "herd" refers to "..a group of cattle or other domestic animals of a single kind kept together for a \nspecific use". So if your talking about pigs not boars, it should be "herd".

There is no answer to that because there are no people that speak latin as a native language anymore. There are only guesses. Church Latin that is used by the Catholic Church would be probably the closest, and they follow a pronunciation that is similar to Italian.\n\nAbout the only person that can give you the proper pronunciation would be the person who coined the motto. It is their creation, so they should have the final say.\n\nPersonally, I would go with, "sir-TA-vee et vee-chee", though my high school Latin teacher would probably say "Ker-TA-wee et WEE-kee", but I think that would sound weird.

It's latin and it's a form of the verb 'loquor', meaning to speak. I think its English equivalent would be 'speaking'.

I do. I took 2 years of classical Latin in High School, and I'm continuing with it next semester in college. I think I've got the pronounciation down--I took classical Latin, and the pronounciation we learned is thought to be the closest to the original. I've got a dictionary and phrase book, so simple conversation shouldn't be too hard. \nI know a little swordplay(self-taught), I can handle a horse pretty well, and I can make fire. I'm in pretty good health, no allergies or anything.\nWhen are you planning on leaving?

I think it says "I miss mariza so much"\n\nAlthough the proper way to say it would be " I-ay issmay Arizamay osay uchmay"\n\nMaybe it's a different dialect of pig-latin.

"are most americans pigs (im one and i believe so)?"\n\nYou're an American or a pig or both? \n\nWhat do you mean by pig?\n\nDo you mean fat? Yes, most Americans are fat. I suppose you could call them fat pigs.\n\nOr do you mean arrogant? No, most American are not arrogant. However, the American government (which is supposed to be "by the people and for the people") is extremely arrogant.

Absolutely no clue what "brisha" is and couldn't find it when I looked it up. (Other than it being the name of a dog and of an commander.....lol)\n\nBut igpay atinlay (Pig Latin) I can handle!\n\nPig Latin is a twist of English for people who want to be silly, (or for kids who don't want their parents to know what they're talking about).

My favorite (and the longest one I know) comes from the Middle Ages, and is in Latin.  Saint Martin was travelling through France to Rome.  While on the road, he encountered the Devil, who began to tease him relentlessly.  After a few miles of this treatment, Saint Martin was so incensed that he beat Satan with his walking stick -- upon which Satan turned into a donkey.\n\nThis is why it's accurate to describe the devil as a French A**.  Just kidding.\n\nIn any case, upon his transformation, the Devil cried:\n\nSigna te signa; temere me tangis et angis;\nRoma tibi subito motibus ibit Amor.\n\nThis is a palindrome, and means "Make the sign of the cross and do it again; you vex and bother me without reason.  Soon you will reach Rome, the object of your wishes."  Seeing a ripe opportunity, Saint Martin jumped on the donkey's back and rode him to the Eternal City (and the donkey became Pope!  Just kidding).\n\nTo this you might reply: "Devil never even lived."  As for the author, he was distracted.  "God, a red nugget!  A fat egg under a dog!"  -- this is what I heard he said last.
