IT IS, IT IS!!! XD i found it when i was reading up on opera XD

lacrimosa means 'weeping' in Latin

'L'Acrimosa Dies Illa' is also one of the most beautiful parts of Mozart's "Requiem Mass". And in essence that is what it is singing about ...

Here on You tube

Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen

Tearful that day,
on which will rise from ashes
guilty man for judgment.
So have mercy, O Lord, on this man.
Compassionate Lord Jesus,
grant them rest. Amen.

From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary! I have always loved this word!

-adjective 1. suggestive of or tending to cause tears; mournful.
2. given to shedding tears readily; tearful.

SEE that's okay to forget. Who uses that word on a daily basis anyway? I FORGOT THE WORD 'WHENNNNNNNNN'. And had to fucking dictionary that shit when I got home. It just wasn't coming to me. T_________T

[oviparous]

i didn't forget it dear, i just learnt it!!! it's a fantastic word, and i'm never gonna forget it, never. i've been searching for the english equivalent for the longest time. who knew it was right under my nose, in the wikipedia article for mezzo-sopranos?! haaaaa.

you forgot the word 'when'? ah, in chinese??? but you haven't used chinese in a long time, haven't you? it's all right, it's all right!!!

It feels like I wasted 12 years of my life, not being able to speak it anymore. T_____________T

For some reason 什么时候 doesn't make sense to me. It literally means "what time" not "when" for some reason. Sad face.
