Who here knows Latin?

[NoDaddyNo]

I know this is roughly the worst place in the world to ask such a question, but I'm doing it anyway.

I need something in Latin that is vaguely "talk" or "discuss". I know it is something along the lines of "voci" but that is about the extent of my memory of the two years that I had it.

I'm looking for words that essentially mean that, and sound cool or pretentious. So Latin is my first step.

I guess if it's in latin, has to be translated by a "latino"...hahaha

 

[NoDaddyNo]

Hot damn - thanks guys.

I like dictio and eructo. Eructo has the whole drunkenly thing - exactly what I want to portray in a product where money is on the line

Likely go with dictio since I can visualize an icon for that.

Thanks!

Ego sum victor.

That might mean I am the winner.

I think it would be "alk-tay" or "iscuss-day" but I'm not sure.

Try "conversate." That'll make you sound more urbane.
