What language is that?

"Tongilianus, you paid 200,000 sesterces for your house.
An accident, too common in this city, destroyed it.
You collected 1,000,000 sesterces.
Now I ask you, doesn’t it seem possible that you set fire to your own house, Tongilianus?"

RainaRose

Is that really the translation?
|
Darth Splinter
|
Dunno. I just Googled the words and found that in a scholar journal.
|
RainaRose
|
lol wow awesome. 200 points for trying.

Sounds like something from a Pokemon port.

Or it's this:
"You say that the rabbit isn't cooked, and ask for the whip;
Rufus, you prefer to carve up your cook than your rabbit"
|
RainaRose

What the heck? Wow I am googling it myself now.

I highly doubt you knew that. Online translator.

Amo = love, possum = be able.
That's all know, screw Latin. This'll be my last year of taking it.

Dicere is the secend principal part of the word dico meaning to speak, non is obviously not, te is a pronoun I believe, hoc is a pronoun.

I tried to take Latin and it killed me. ><

Well, Splinter has quoted two poems written in the same format... and I believe by the same person. But no online stuff! I want to see if you can translate it.
Dicere: Infinitive of dico - I say - so it means to say.
|
Lord Vexen
|
Infinitives are the second principal part of words in Latin...
|
Crozeus
|
Your point?
|
Lord Vexen
|
I thought you were correcting me when you said that.
|
Crozeus
|
No no.
So, any ideas anyone?

Pig Latin

I take some very basic Spanish.... I couldn't recognize many words in there (Spanish being closely related to Latin) but it seemed to be Latin or a Romance Language.

Since you all fail, I'll tell you.
Non amo te, Sabidi, nec possum dicere quare... hoc tantum possum dicere non amo te.
I do not like you, Sabidus, I am not able to say why... I am able to say this - I do not like you.
Or in better English:
I don't like you Sabidus. I can't say why, but I just don't like you.
