et tu, Brute

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin et tū, Brūte (literally “and you, Brutus”). Used figuratively from 1591 (sometimes jocularly) to express shock and sadness at the treachery of a good friend. Although apparently an Elizabethan invention, a “genuine antique reproduction”, it appears to have been well known in England before its use in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɛt ˈtu ˌbɹuteɪ/ === Phrase === et tu, Brute "You too, Brutus" or "even you, Brutus"; expressing a recognition of betrayal. ==== Derived terms ==== et tu ==== Translations ==== === References === == Danish == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin et tū, Brūte. === Interjection === et tu, Brute et tu, Brute == Latin == === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɛt ˈtuː ˈbruː.tɛ] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɛt ˈtuː ˈbruː.te] === Phrase === et tū, Brūte? et tu, Brute Synonym: tū quoque, mī fīlī
