<< Cogitamus ergo sumus. >>



That looks right to me. It's been a long time.

At any rate, it will use the same root words as &quot;Cogito, ergo sum&quot; but in first person plural.

Here it is in portuguese:

Nos pensamos, conseq&uuml;entemente nos somos.

Dropping the unnecessary &quot;nos&quot; (because the form of the word tells you the subject &quot;we&quot;), it comes out pretty close. Pensamos translates loosely to cogitamos, and consequentemente (consequently) to ergo.

If I had to put money on it, I'd bet Libra is right.

/* Cogitamus ergo sumus. */

Yes, that should be right, fwict. (nota bene that I don't know a whole lot of Latin; just started learning it recently in my spare time, and since I'm in 8th grade, I don't have a whole lot of that :).

The original quote would be &quot;Cogito, ergo sum&quot; (I think, therefore I am), from Descartes.

Heh I still have a lot of those frikkin' declension, etc. songs stuck in my head.

Imaginine singing O, S, T, MUS, TIS, NT to the tune of the Mickey Mouse song (M I C...K E Y...)

Or a, ae, ae, am, long a, ae a-r-um, is, as, is.... to Old Macdonald

And finally, sum, es, est, sumus, estis, sunt...don't remember the tune for that one, though
