True love knows no limits (i.e., knows not moderation) (Propertius)Įsperanto is only partially translated. It is true greatness to have in one’s self the frailty of a man and the security of a God Vere magnum habere in se fragilitatem hominis ac securitatem Dei No man inquires how you obtained your wealth but it is necessary to possess it (Juvenal) Unde habeas quærit nemo sed oportet habere Where defeat is inevitable, it is expedient to yield (Quintilian) If one must fall, let him meet the hazard head on (Tacitus) Si cadere necesse est, occurrendum discrimini ![]() She danced more elegantly (or much better) than what becomes a virtuous woman (Sallust, said of Sempronia) Saltabat elegantius (or melius), quam necesse est probæ mulieri The one who is good at commanding must have at some time been good at obeying (Cicero) Qui bene imperat, paruerit aliquando necesse est The one who grieves before it is necessary grieves more than necessary (Seneca) Plus dolet quam necesse est, qui ante dolet quam necesse est It is an arduous task to make all men your friends it is enough to have no enemies (Seneca) Omnes amicos habere operosum est satis est inimicos non habere It is not poverty, Nestor, to have nothing (Martial) Not everyone is gifted with a nose (i.e., has the powers of discernment) (Martial) He must fear many, whom many fear (Laberius, alluding to Julius Cæsar) Necesse est multos timeat quem multi timent When once ambition has passed its natural bounds, its progress is sure to be immense (Seneca) Necesse est in immensum exeat cupiditas quæ naturalem modum transiliit It is necessary that the one who seeks gain should incur expense (Plautus) Necesse est facere sumptum, qui quærit lucrum It is necessary to be mad with the insane, unless you wish to be left quite alone (Petronius) Necesse est cum insanientibus furere, nisi solus relinqueris 622 suggests that these govern imperative argument clauses aka 'final' clauses since they regularly lack the subordinator ut ( necesse est faciās ~ volō faciās), apparently with only a single instance of nē (surprising!).EUdict dictionary: Latin - English Results for: necesse habere Latin In short, here seems to be where traditional grammar becomes useless. At least in my ignorance of generative syntax I don't see what would stop you. and then perhaps analyse oportet and the rest of Latin verbs as containing a head - the ending - stuck to an adjectival base (hey, there are plenty of languages where adjectives = verbs!). If you classify necesse as an adjective, you'd have to classify opus, ūsus as adjectives-afaik using magnum opus est to mean this is impossible, it will mean "the task is big", so you have to say valdē opus est. necesse/necessum est, opus est, ūsus est and oportet are all predicative expressions that are semantically indivisible, forming the predicate together.

It is highly defective, i.e., most forms are never used in fact, in classical Latin, necesse is the only existing form. Aliquid alicui necesse est is a very common expression, and as Draconis has explained, a neuter adjective hardly seems out of place here.īut necesse is a very unusual adjective indeed. Oxford appears to be alone with its opinion that it is an adverb, and I wonder if the entry itself has anything to say about that. Lewis & Short, Gaffiot, Georges and Forcellini agree that it is an adjective. ![]()
