Translating "boil the kettle" might be easier, but it's another idiom (kettles don't boil, the water in them does), but it's the kind of synecdoche that could be near-universal. But I'm not sure Latin has a term specifically for boiling water, as opposed to cooking something. Again, Google translate for "boil water" suggests "Aquam coquite," but translates coquite to "cook". And "boil the kettle" to "coques lebetem"... cook the pot? Can that be right?

The metal used for our signs is aluminium, to last and not to rust, so suitable for indoor, bathrooms, kitchens or outdoors. Family mottoes often use dog Latin, so I could easily just go with something like "Lebetem coques" (schoolboy smirk) or "Semper ferventi ab ollae" or "poppus kettleus onnus" and call it done. But now I've started digging, I can't help but wonder how the same greeting would have been given in Latin... or would be given today, in those communities which still use it. Wood, Greg (17 March 2021). " 'Mad' mare Put The Kettle On proves a champion at Cheltenham Festival". The Guardian.

Put The Kettle On is a place to explore new and varying hot drinks, from flowering teas andexotic coffees to chai lattes and other cultural cuppa’s, whilst encouraging and building a friendly environment of support, chatter andfun. This Polly Put the Kettle On is such a fun set. My 4 year old can’t get enough of the two girls in this rhyme – Polly and Sukey.

Nursery rhymes are so popular and well-loved across many settings, so using them as part of your learning makes perfect sense. They are a great support to literacy development and help children develop key sounds. Take a look at some of our other brilliant resources that can help to aid children. This is covered a little under How do I welcome someone in Latin? -- the answer by Joonas Ilmaverta is rather excellent, but "I'll put the kettle on" comes after that initial welcoming phrase, and fulfills the "making-at-home, settling-in" part of the conversation. When we say the rhyme, we each have a sequencing card. When the rhyme gets to the portion containing our card, we wave our cards in the air. Put The Kettle On began her next campaign in the Shloer Chase over two miles on soft ground at Cheltenham on 15 November in which she was ridden by Coleman and started the 7/4 second favourite behind the multiple Grade 1 winner Defi du Seuil in a four-runner field. She was in contention throughout the race, recovered a mistake at the third last, and overtook the front-running Duc Des Genievres in the closing stages to win by one and a quarter lengths. [16] After the race Coleman said "She has got a massive heart as she hated the ground. She was never happy the whole way. It was a testament to her ability and her attitude as it was a hard race for her. Since November last year, she has only run once, so she might be a touch rusty. When I got on top, I won well". [17] In the Grade 1 Paddy's Reward Club Chase at Leopardstown Racecourse on 27 December the mare was ridden by Sean Flanagan and finished third behind Chacun Pour Soi and Notebook, beaten more than eight lengths by the winner.

The phrase "put the kettle on" is an English Idiom, celebrated in verse (eg "Polly put the kettle on...") for at least a couple of hundred years. It carries a HUGE weight of subtext in some areas of England, which I only really appreciated after moving to Texas, where it's taken literally. Here, auto-translation won't help. This is something that I think only people steeped in Latin culture would know. Put The Kettle On (foaled 10 March 2014) is an Irish racehorse who competes in National Hunt racing. She won two minor races over hurdles but made dramatic improvement when campaigned in steeplechases. In the 2019/2020 National Hunt season she won six races including the November Novices' Chase and the Arkle Challenge Trophy. In the following season she won the Shloer Chase and the Champion Chase. I’m not sure if it’s the repetition of this rhyme, or that it’s just plain fun to say, but both of my little girls squealed in delight when I told them that we were learning Polly Put the Kettle On this week!
