Re: Candy Country


The latin word is "sweet", yes?

Hooray for French helping me to recognize stuff!

Latin for Sweet is dulcis, like I've put on the shirt (I've also included "sweet" in English, underneath it) =)

There's other latin on the shirt.. Candidae Terra, I think? Which means 'Candy Country' =D

I believe "terra" would actually mean "land", which basically amounts to the same thing.

I was mistaken on the French, btw. French would be "doux". I recognized it from the Spanish, "dulce". And I suppose English "dulcet" would work as well. I took French in high school but I only know sporadic Spanish, which is why I said French earlier. My bad. I wish I actually knew Latin. I've got myself a Latin dictionary (for naming things in my unfinished novels).

Anyway, segue aside, here's one more huzzah for Candy Country!

Terra, land.. makes sense =D Nice job on the languages! I barely know spanish, I can say hi and thank you in German, and can recognize Japanese characters. (dunno what they say, though. l ol) French would be fun to learn, but it's hard for me to learn other languages =( All I know of French is La Mer, and all the words the Flight of the Conchords say in the song, 'Foux Da Fa Fa' =D

Thanks so much for the kind words; I like your cute fox =D

Thanks! =D I'm a little upset how the text came out at the top of the comp, (should have left it out) but I tried. =D

Yepyep! I was madly reading the last days of having it checked out, but I finished it. I loved it. I've been recommending it to friends. I enjoyed how they tied in Buddhism, and traveling to Asia and India. I will definitely have to read moore of his books (=p)

Thanks for introducing me. =)
