"Estne Marcus fartus caseo?"

Translation: Is Marcus stuffed with cheese?

[DeddyShy1]

This doesn't seem like the polite thing to ask

[jaiirapetjan]

Especially because an English speaker might first think they are asking if Marcus's fart is cheesy.

[Quintley]

Always a problem with conversational Latin

[Nick_Pr]

As someone with lactose intolerance, I also get "fartus" with cheese.

[DavidDKleiner]

This course is getting weirder and weirder by the second.

[oguzalb]

Well, this was a cheesy one

[BeefTestos4]

Why are you asking me if another human is prepared for eating?

[iad58g]

For roasting, not yet for eating.

[queenofshred]

After being stuffed with cheese, he first has to be tied to the altar (from which he cannot descend), then the drunk parrot destroys him with fire. After which his remains are mixed with garum. Only after that can he be consumed, free from cheesy farts.

[yasmine_y]

And once again, I can say I identify with Marcus. Or, well, I wish I could.

[adz001]

Well he may be full of it ... but that is not with cheese and figuratively speaking ;-)

[BilboBagginsIII]

Well I'm using this word all the time now.

[Abe1029]

Which one?

[ArcanoAngel]

Yes.

[Brilli15Bri]

This made me laugh xD

[J0HNPIERRE]

Yes, caseo makes Marcus fartus!

[Randybvain]

Is stuffed should be farcitur, shouldn't it? Est fartus is passive perfect form.

[pootle15]

If he was forcibly stuffed with cheese and this sentence was about the stuffing action rather than his present cheese-filled state it could work.

[Abe1029]

This is just about the weirdest sentence I've ever read... And I completed the entire Latin course. Thank you for this gem.

[HighprinceVader]

It can be used as an adjective as well. You'll occasionally find esse along with a perfect participle without the passive perfect meaning. A famous example is the opening line of De Bello Gallico

[TiagoRodri856988]

Fartus is the participle of farciō, farcīre, farsī, fartum "to stuff," from which also farcīmen "sausage" comes.

[Ivitcyex]

Marcus secat caseum. Tam male olet!

[MEELOOSH]

Whuuu....

[DJNightingle]

Idk, but I think it's better not to check...

[not_a_thing]

If he's full of cheese, he might as well be made of cheese!

[xMcAyRuo]

lord help me

[deactivated user]

cheese is pretty good though what can i say

[PatrickBra289091]

Wow, fartus.

[Ali492225]

If fartus is to be understood as "full after a good meal", translation is correct. However if we understand it literally (which leads to funny comments about anthropophagy), or even as a way to mock poor Marcus (overweighed Marcus?), then I think: Num Marcus caseo fartus est? should be accepted.

[TiagoRodri856988]

The general meaning in the daughter languages is "having had enough (of something)", of food but often of some situation or even of someone.

[Ali492225]

Thanks for your comment. However, I'm not concerned about the translation, thus I won't take into consideration, at first, the "daughter languages". The point I'm uncomfortable with is the phrasing in latin, where the use of fartus is only literal. Hence, the only way : Num Marcus caseo fartus est ?
Regarding, now, the "daughter languages", I would strongly recommend not to use "Je suis plein" in French or "Sono pieno in Italian in any situation you mention. In French, it would be considered rude or at least vulgar. Except for "être plein de soi-même", to be full of oneself. It makes sense, of course, in English, which I would describe more as a "step-daughter language".
If anyone knows an instance of a non-literal use of fartus in a Latin source, I would like they share.

This man pronounces fartus as spartus
