Latin Words Used in The English Language



Trust me, you’d feel like an oaf when someone rattles out a Latin phrase like ‘Sine Qua Non’ or ‘Summa Cum Laude’ and it goes over your head. You just grin, not indicating whether you understood the damn phrase or not. That’s definitely not the position I want you in -perverts may ignore the pun- So, here today I bring you a collection of oft-used Latin phrases in English language. Did I hear a collective sigh of relief? All right, all right don’t cry now and tell me ‘Suman What’d we have done without you!’ So, as I walk into the bright orange sun-set like the traditional hero... You guys go take a look at the Latin phrases. It’s ‘Sine Qua Non’ baby!
