Oy. I wish you would stop calling it Latin.
May I kindly ask what your scientific background is? Do you hold a degree in latin? Because I think you do not have any degree in anything.
Here I explain it to you:
meo: means "I go", (first person singular simple present indicative active)
neu: means "and not", it is a conjunction.
sale: second person singular simple present imperative active, it means, literally "to salt", however is used as I said.
Would you mind to stop useless posts here, please?
Thank you very much in advance for your help,
Dr. Michael Hoffmann
Dr. Hoffmann,
Correct me if I am wrong, but I fear 'sale' is not the "second person singular simple present imperative active" of salio/salo. That would be 'sali,' surely, given that salio is fourth conjugation? Sale is the ablative of sal, meaning 'by/with/from salt.'
I am afraid that 'meo neu sale' ("I go and not - Salt!") is, in my opinion, an even less successful attempt at Latin than 'Romanes eunt domus.'
Finally, while I mean no disrespect to your academic credentials, please don't insult Koen's (which might be more directly relevant to understanding mediaeval Latin than yours). This forum has been refreshingly free of ad hominems for some while now, and it would be nice to keep it that way.
