Latin is Everywhere

Last year I studied Latin at University. My studies were full of small discoveries and I'd like to post some of the most remarkable of them here. The words "interest" in English, "Interesse" in German, and "интерес" in Russian come, of course, from Latin. The German word "Interesse" consists of the Latin preposition "inter", which means "between" and the infinitive of the Latin verb "to be" - "esse". So, "interest" means to be between something. When you are between something and it surrounds you, you are most likely interested in it. I Hope, I've given a clear explanation.

Great Job! Ich finde auch die Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Deutch und Englisch faszinierend!
