Language

Hello guys,

Since you are reading this, you are:
    A. a completely random person who looks for nintendokameel64
    B. interested in the roman city of Londinium
Choose for yourself.

Latin
Anyway let's talk about language. The language of the Romans was Latin. The grammar of Latin is totally different of the grammer of English. In Latin you have inflections to indicate what the function of a verb is in a sentence. I give you a example:

Plinius vocavit servis

Cityname
Londinium was probably the roman word for Loninion, which probably meant wild (lond). It could be possible that the name Londinium came from the pre-Celtic word Plowonida, meaning wild river or wide river.

nominative
Londīnium
genitiveLondīniī      
dativeLondīniō    
accusativeLondīnium
ablativeLondīniō    
vocativeLondīnium
locativeLondīniī

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." -John Lennon
