I wonder whether the people I lend my notes to notice that 'administrata' is not actually a real word or if they just accept it
@Lady ah yeah i mean specifically 'if they realize i made it up'
@Satsuma my guess is they probably assume you pulled it from some book that they haven’t read
@Satsuma No issues with that word... "things having been administered/executed/performed" (perfect active participle, neuter nominative/accusative/vocative plural of Latin administrare, "to administrate, perform, execute"). Go for it!
@greyor oh I realized no one could stop me from inflecting things however I want a long time ago! But it is funny when I share notes with people because it's usually the first section header which makes it especially noticeable
@Satsuma haha true that! not saying you need permission by any means :) I am sure people find it interesting at least.
I was in the Classics PhD/academia bubble for so long that none of this seemed weird until I got outside of it, and realized, no, not everyone around me knows Latin and Greek, and it is "weird." But I'm OK with that; makes for a good conversation starter at least.
@greyor i took two years of it actually! One upside of catholic school :)
@Satsuma that's awesome! Definitely not as common though and always happy to know fellow Latin nerds 🤓😎
@Satsuma honestly once you specialize enough in academia, coming across words which are not in the dictionary is just normal
