Cucurbita, -ae

The Pumpkin ©2009-2010 ~Moose-of-Doom

Just in case you are interested, pumpkin in Latin is Cucurbita, 1st declension, feminine noun.

So to say “You are a pumpkin!” (singular), you can say
“Cucurbita es!”

To say “He is a pumpkin!”, you can say
“Cucurbita est!”

To say “I was a pumpkin.”, you can say
“Cucurbita fui.”

To say “Don’t be a pumpkin!” (to plural), you can say
“Nolite esse cucurbita!”

To say “When I was a pumpkin, he was a mushroom.”, you can say
“Cum cucurbita fuerim, fungus fuit.

… and so on.

Ya, I had watched too much 《開心字典》 at Anshun’s house.
