"The rivers flow sluggishly and slowly."

Translation: Flumina languide et lente fluunt.

[Donald_Scott]

No, no, no! It is this Latin course itself (admirable though it is) which has become slow and sluggish. Am I the only discipulus (living just to the north of Hadrian's Wall in the north of England) who feels he is repeating exercises monotonously, on and on........ ?

Difference between lentus and languidus?

[bresza]

As non native speaker of English I don't feel the difference between sluggishly and slowly - is "sluggishly" stronger?

[Natalie127358]

Sluggish has a kind of laziness to it, or even more accurately, an apparent lack of energy. If I were to describe myself as feeling sluggish, I would probably mean that my get-up-and-go had got up and gone without me. Think of how a slug moves.

[weonclo]

Lenteque in spite of et lente should also be correct

Can we use "Fluvius" or "Fluvii" too?

[PavelSedlk1]

I wrote fluvii and it was accepted.
I wonder what the difference between fluvius and flumen is.

Why flumina not flumen

[amd2021]

Flumina is plural, flumen is singular

[JacksonVasc]

Should "Flumina languide lenteque fluit" be accepted?

[Gfldo]

Hello,

"Languide lenteque" should be.

But "Flumina... fluit" is wrong because "flumina" is plural so the verb has to be in plural too: "Flumina... fluunt"

[Natalie127358]

This is such a poetic sounding sentence.
