ludus="prank"
The student ran about the yard distributing many a ludus.
@lucifargundam I'm idly wondering if our word 'ludiek' comes from there. A 'ludieke actie' is some sort of action/event where something funny/outrageous/spontaneous is done. A flash mob event could be a ludieke actie. Mm, I should check up the etymology of that word.

Additionally, there are many latin variants to 'essentially' the same english word. These diversities are organized by context as well as other common categories such as sex and singular/plural.
If you have any qualms with my shared musings, please feel free to respond in a healthy in manner accordingly- and I hope we both can grow from the outcome either way. After all, latin is a 'dead' language.
@lucifargundam I'm just wondering about your last paragraph. It sounds like you were a bit uneasy or something? It looks so formal and distant? Why would I have qualms with your shared musings? I grew from the outcome, I learned that ludiek comes from ludus, that was cool.
@trinsec I'm glad you found benefit in it. The examples are not always clear on usage and intent- but I hope that it gets communicated well enough. Like some other languages, multiple words can mean relatively the same thing in Latin, but can vary based on context.
@trinsec
At this point it's an "educated guess".
@lucifargundam I wonder if people still know how to pronounce in Latin?
