Well, were not these fellows known as the Peripateic Philosophers? You give 'm a problem and they say, ok, let's have a walk and work this out. It's obvious this makes sense even today, as I know lots of people who like to go walk and do your mental workout rather than try to sit it out.

Pronunciation

[edit]

As there are no Latin native speakers alive, we have to make assumptions about pronunciation based on what we know about Latin, how it was transcribed in other languages of that time, and other linguistic parameters. Thus there are two or three assumed pronunciation variations of Latin. None of them is an "English-like" one.

So the pronunciation of "solvitur ambulando" cannot be [ˈsɒlvɪtər ˌæmbjʊˈlændoʊ], as this would be like English speakers would pronounce it.

The pronunciation is ['solvitur ambu'lando]. No [jʊ] and no [oʊ], and no ɒ,ə or æ in it. ;-) Elana T. (talk) 10:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
