In the middle of a conversation I heard the phrase "carpe diem" which means "to seize the day". I was talking to my mom about procrastination and she told me to seize the day, meaning to make the most of my time. I knew the word "diem" meant day and was in the accusative case. I also knew the word "carpe" came from the verb "carpo" which means to seize. I put the words together and figured out the meaning. I plan to use this phrase in everyday life from now on.
That's fantastic--A year ago my mom got me a little charm that says carpe diem! Definitely great advice!
