Wiktionary:Translation requests

See also Category:Translation requests

If you would like to have a word or even a whole sentence translated, this is the right place for your request. Since this is a multilingual dictionary in English, ask your question in English, specify from which language your word/phrase is and into which language(s) you would like to have it translated. It would be appreciated if those people providing translations added them to the entry of the requested word. Also see Wiktionary:Requested entries to request an entry.

For fast translations, you might consider using Google Translate or Yahoo! Babelfish. Both sites make imperfect translations in a wide range of languages; if you are looking for something for a tattoo, it is highly recommended that you get a translation from a real person. NOTE: Google Translate does now translate into Latin, however, being a recent addition, it is very faulty and should not be trusted.

Latin to English

What does in herbis verbis et lapidibus mean? 81.68.255.36 11:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Literally "In herbs, in words, and in stones". It seems to mean "in all manners of healing", to take it figuratively. --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Translation of "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortstein" from German to English please

The term Ortstein relates to special types of soil pans in pedology. No English version of this page:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortstein

is currently available. I suspect the language will be technical. I would greatly appreciate it if one of your kind translators could have a go at translating it.

Can someone please translate the phrase "Let go, let god"

I think it is:

Lig dul. Lig Dia. —Stephen ^(Talk) 05:47, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

That doesn't really make any sense in Irish. Slogans like this can't be translated literally. I'd go with something like "Lig díot é, lig do Dhia é" (lit. "Let it [go] from you; leave it to God"), but first I would find out if there are any Irish-language AA groups who may have already translated this slogan into idiomatic Irish. —Angr 20:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Japanese to Russian

Is there any Russian version of sayonara? --Æ&Œ (talk) 17:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean? I would translate it into Russian as пока, but if you want transliteration, I reckon that'd be сайонара. --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:13, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Funny request. BTW, саёнара and сайонара are both accepted by the Polivanov system (see w:Cyrillization of Japanese because of "ё"/"е" issue ("ё" is usually replaced with "е" in writing), even if this combination (йо) doesn't happen in native Russian words and seldom in borrowings (йод, йога), but is common in Japanese words, especially in names, like Тойота (instead of Тоёта). Also, пока is bye (casual) and до свидания (goodbye) and прощайте (farewell) are formal. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I think sayonara is pretty informal in non-Japanese settings in English. That's why I chose пока. As for the rest, that makes perfect sense. Thanks. --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 01:15, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem. I just wanted to clarify, anyway. I thought that sayonara in English is used in the sense of "farewell" and "goodbye", in which case прощайте (proščájte)/прощай (proščáj) matches more than the others, especially пока (poká), which is closer to "see you later", "bye".

My name is spelled "Анатолий" in Russian, with letter й lost in translation. :) --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Dammit, that's how you can tell I've never seriously studied Russian! I've been corrected before by a Дмитрий, but I obviously did not learn my lesson. How can I tell when there is a final -j? --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:06, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't know, there are many noun patterns. It only becomes confusing when translated into English ("-ий" becomes "-y" or "-i", "-iy" is uncommon). Russian native singular nouns seldom end in и, if they do, they are borrowed, usually neuters, и is often used as a plural marker (again, there are a few plural forming patterns). --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 02:38, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Women’s given names often end in -а or -я (Анна, Елена), while men’s names end in a consonant. Just remember that и is a vowel (in fact, -и in the nominative usually indicates a plural form), but й is a consonant. I can’t think of any native Russian masculine name that ends in -и in the nominative singular. If the English transliteration ends in -i or -y, then the Russian masculine name almost certainly ends in -й. Of course, transliterated foreign names such as American names (Johnny, Larry, Gary) and Japanese names (Yamaguchi, Suzuki) will end in the vowel -и, but not so with native Russian masculine names. —Stephen ^(Talk) 02:52, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's right. There are many exceptions, of course. Masculine petnames or diminutives can end in -а or -я: Петя, Алёша, Дима, Вова/Володя, etc. There are full names, which end in -а/-я: Данила, Никита, etc. If feminine names end in a consonant (but not consonant + ь - Любовь) , they become indeclinable. Also see Appendix:Russian given names. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 03:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Your acute accents need to be grave since they're on the last syllable of a word followed by another stressed word: μετὰ Θεοῦ ἢ χωρὶς Θεοῦ. It would also be possible to use ἄνευ instead of χωρὶς. —Angr 09:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I met a hot Spanish girl on holiday. She wrote me something, but I don't speak Spanish. What does she say? T'escric xk aixi, tot i que no ho vulguis hem recordanos, em veuros aqui. Gracies per estes magnifiques setmanes. Et trabaré molt a falter. M'agrades NAME PD Com se que també hem trabares a faltar (+0034) PHONE NUMBER

It’s Catalan. It has some misspellings that I can’t figure out.

I’m writing you xk well, although we do not want to be reminded, I would be here. Thanks for these wonderful weeks. And I'll miss you a lot. I like you

NAME

PS—How we have also missed (+0034) PHONE NUMBER —Stephen ^(Talk) 11:26, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Maybe "trabares"/"trabaré" are meant to be "trobares" or "trobaràs"/"trobaré" which mean "you found/met" or "you will find/meet"/"I will find/meet" from trobar (to find, to meet). BigDom (t • c) 12:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Is "miss/be missed" the only meaning of faltar? It seems odd for someone to say "I'll be greatly missed" and "how we have also missed [a phone number]". Could that also be a typo for something else? —Angr 12:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

When people write casually, they make all manner of typos, misspellings, ad hoc abbreviations, and other things. There are clearly mistakes here, and probably some that I don’t even notice. This is simply the best I can do with the text provided. Also, you can’t rely on the punctuation. Just because there is no punctuation placed before the phone number, that does not mean that it should be as written. The phone number is probably not part of the sentence. —Stephen ^(Talk) 13:42, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

trobar a faltar is an idiomatic expression in Catalan; "Et trobaré molt a faltar" means "I'll miss you a lot". Also, the combination of present tense of haver + infinitive is used as a substitute for the preterite tense, which is probably very strange if you're not familiar with it. —CodeCat 23:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

It seems a linguistic experiment :) One possible correct way of writting it in Catalan would be "T'escric perquè així, tot i que no ho vulguis, hem de recordar-nos, en veure´ns aquí. Gràcies per aquestes magnífiques setmanes. Et trobaré molt a faltar. M'agrades. NAME. PD Com sé que també em trobarás a faltar: (...)" My free translation: "I’m writing to you because, you want or not, we have to remember each other, when we met here. Thanks for these wonderful weeks. I'll miss you a lot. I like you. NAME. PS—I know you'll also miss me, so [I give you my phone number] (...)".

-"Estes" is the Valencian way for "aquestes", but the Valencian form for "així" is "ací". Strange mixture. "ací" is "aquí" (here). You see, I don't speak Valencian :S

-"xk" is a SMS/IRC form for "perquè", as "bkoz" is for "because".

Good luck ;D -Aleator (talk) 12:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Russian: Живи одним днём —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Adding transliteration and wikilinks for both:

Arabic: كل يوم بيومه (kull yawm bi-yawmi-h) (hopefully correct)

Russian: Живи одним днём (Živí odním dnjom) --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:11, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

One person told me the translation is: kol youm be Youmouh. Another person said its : Yum byum

Which of these is the best translation?

They are the same translation. The only difference is that he added pronunciation in English letters for the second pair. Otherwise, the two pairs of translations are the same. The Arabic translation is كل يوم بيومه. The part that says "kull yawm bi-yawmi-h" or "kol youm be Youmouh" are not translations, they are just different ways that someone might try to write it in English letters. There are many other ways besides these. But the part in English letters is NOT the translation, the translation is the part in Arabic letters or Russian letters. You should ignore the English letters. —Stephen ^(Talk) 01:47, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Dutch 'gunnen' to English

Dutch to English. Currently defined as "to think someone deserves something, to derive satisfaction from someone else's success", but I think we can do better. :-)   (Previously defined as "to grant, indulge", but an anon changed it, with the edit summary "To grant or to indulge don't even come close to the true meaning of this verb so I've tried my best to describe it as accurately and briefly as I can"). —Ruakh_TALK 12:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

It is tricky because it works sort of backwards from English. Ik gun je dit = I think you deserve this. So it doesn’t simply mean deserve. Or: hij gunt je geen ogenblik rust = he thinks you deserve not a moment’s rest. —Stephen ^(Talk) 04:33, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

It is indeed pretty hard to translate to English. As another example, in the sentence "het is hem niet gegund", gunnen (here in past participle form) makes it mean something like "for him, it is not meant to be". Thayts (talk) 19:32, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Or literally, "it is to him not thought deserved". —Stephen ^(Talk) 21:42, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

I think that is closest. Gunnen means to think someone should have something. It is often used to explain the difference between envy and jealousy. —CodeCat 21:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Use です (desu) as a statement in a polite speech, である (dearu) in informative and だ (da) in plain styles. No ending is OK in the plain speech as well, especially when spoken by women. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 22:50, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank You Stephen

I need three phrases translated from English to Hawaiian, please.

All three phrases have the same first and last words, the only change is the middle word. Thank you in advance.

'The strong one' I have seen on some websites that 'kanunu' means both this phrase and 'uncle'. So I'm unclear on that.

'The fast one' or 'The quick one'

'The clever one'

These are for a story where Superboy from DC comics (who has lived in Hawaii) is telling his friends Robin and Impulse what they would be called in the Hawaiian language. He is called by the locals 'The strong one'.

kanunu means the physically large one; the tall and stout one; the husky one. It doesn’t mean uncle, but someone might nickname his uncle kanunu.

ikaika (another word for the strong one, this one means strong, powerful, sturdy, stalwart, potent, force, energy, might)

koke, ulele (there are many words for fast, these are just two of them)

akamai (one of several words for clever) —Stephen ^(Talk) 21:45, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Stephen for answering my questions. :D

Though how would I directly translate the words you provided into the phrases? Would it be like this-

The strong one = Ka ikaika haki

The fast one = Ka koke/ulele haki

The clever one = Ka akamai haki

I'm much better at Spanish, French and Irish Gaelic. :D

It depends on how you’re going to use them. If they are to be sobriquets, then I don’t think you need ka. What is this "haki"? Are you thinking of kahi? You wouldn’t use that. When you need the definite article, it is

ke kanunu (the husky, strong)

ka ikaika (the strong)

ke koke, ka ulele (the fast, quick)

ke akamai (the clever) —Stephen ^(Talk) 22:38, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again. :D

And that makes sense I guess. I know some languages do that where a word is implied by the others.

Also I found haki at this dictionary page it is the fourth down.

http://www.freelang.net/online/hawaiian.php?lg=gb

I try to do as much research as I can, even if it's only a little short story. My best friend/editor say's I go overboard on researching. I'm just a curious person, who likes to learn new things. :D

I have little info on historical Chinese punctuation but I know it was random, non-standardised until early 20th century. The most common were 。 and 、, used by scholars. Poetry just used spaces and paragraphs. 、 is a pause mark, not for listing. You can try asking User:Jamesjiao for more details. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 12:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

In the time of Laozi, there would not have been punctuation. It probably would have been written in two columns, the columns serving to separate the sentences. —Stephen ^(Talk) 12:16, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Stephen's got it. I am not a scholar on historical Chinese, but I can safely say I rarely see any form of punctuations used in ancient texts.

English to Esperanto

Can someone translate/transliterate the names of the following characters from the film Wreck-It Ralph into Esperanto?

• Wreck-It Ralph
• Vanellope von Schweetz
• Fix-It Felix, Jr.
• Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun
• King Candy

Much thanks in advance!

• Wreck-it Ralph = Malkreanta-ĝin Ralf

  Vanellope von Schweetz = Vanélopi von Ŝǔic

  Fix-It Felix = Fiksanta-ĝin Filiks

  Tamora Jean Calhoun = Tamora Ĝin Kalhún

  King Candy = Reĝo Dolĉaĵo

I have followed Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, in transliterating names by putting an accent on the stressed syllable if the stress is not penultimate, and otherwise leaving the names as untouched as possible. The names that are titles ("wreck-it" etc.) I have translated. Please note that I have not seen the movie and I am just guessing the pronunciation of the characters' names based on experience. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! And now, I can start to learn Esperanto and then talk about these characters in Esperanto. I have two questions though. Would Sergeant translate into Serĝento? And, would Jr. translate into Junulo? -173.60.112.12 03:29, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Well, I speak Latin but my Esperanto is somewhat weak. I can understand a lot more than I can write. Given this, I asked an Esperantist to check my translations a few days ago, and he disagreed with them. For one, we confirmed that King Candy appears to be made of candy in the movie by asking a friend, and that lets us conclude that the awkward noun cluster I gave you would be better expressed as Reĝo Dolĉaĵa. Secondly, he confirmed that modern Esperantists do not usually transliterate names or use stress accents — they either leave them alone (like saying "Calhoun") or occasionally fully Esperantize them (like saying "Kalhuno"). Thirdly, he showed that it would be more usual to use the verb destrui rather than the synonymous but rarer malkrei, so Wreck-it would be Destruanta-ĝin.

I think something like Sarĝento and junula (as an adjective) would work well. If you are interested in learning Esperanto or just asking more questions, I would strongly recommend that you try out Lernu! where Esperantists of all levels discuss la lingvo. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 03:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

request for english to aramaic

hi there i am requesting a translation of "four seasons forgotten" in aramaic thank you

Amharic, Czech, Hebrew, Ukrainian(?) Russian to English

The album - I got some pretty cool foreign language books from volunteering at a local library and I'm curious about the title of this Amharic book (just so I know what it's about), the note in this Czech book apparently titled November Hurricane by Bohumil Hrabal, what's on the cover of this Hebrew fashion book, and the note in this Ukrainian(?) book, Преподобный Серафимъ Саровскїй. Ultimateria (talk) 04:46, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The note is not Ukrainian, it's Russian. "Преподобный Серафимъ Саровскїй" is pre-1918 reform spelling of "Преподо́бный Серафи́м Саро́вский" (the Reverend Serafim Sarovsky) (I've marked the word stresses). --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Oh, that's odd. It says it was published in 1971, but there are also many instances of the letter yat. Any ideas of why it still uses old spellings?

Also, can you read the note? Ultimateria (talk) 05:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't know where the Russian title appears on the link. I only translated what you posted. As for the note, it's cursive in red ink, rght? It says: "1972 г. Моему любимому мальчику на память от мамы." - "(Year) 1972. To my dear boy for memory from mum." --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:49, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Anatoli! Ultimateria (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The other, long note is written in Czech, please ask Dan Polansky. I can't read cursive Czech and he is a native speaker. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The Hebrew at the top is הסיפורים המותחים ביותר בעולם (hasipurím hamot'khím b'yotér ba'olám) which means "The most thrilling/suspensful tales in the world" at the bottom, it is the three words מְרַתֵּק (m'raték, “fascinating”), מַפְתִּיעַ (maftía', “surprising”), מַדְהִים (madhím, “amazing”). --WikiTiki89 06:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Very interesting! I could have sworn it had something to do with fashion/glamour because of the woman's over-the-top makeup and the layout of the words. Thank you! Ultimateria (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Disclaimer: I do not know a word of Amharic. The text looks like "የዳበሳ ጉዞ ከፈቃደ ልመንህ" (transliteration: "yädabäsa guzo käfäqadä ləmänəhə") to me. Hope this helps, πr² (talk • changes) 15:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Some quick research showed me the second word ጉዞ means journey, so thank you for transcribing the words for me! Ultimateria (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

According to a native speaker of Amharic, the Amharic text can be translated literally as "[walking blindly] by Feqade Limenih" or "Aimless wanderings by Feqade Limenih". I guess "wanderings" / "walking" isn't far from what "journey" (I personally found a website which said it meant "tourism", which is relatively similar as well) and the "käfäqadä ləmänəhə" part must mean that it is by Feqade Limenih, so I have been able to track the book down to http://www.worldcat.org/title/yedabesa-guzo/oclc/51325005 (ISBN 0973091509)! Apparently the name of the book is "Yedabesa guzo" which is pretty close to my transliteration "yädabäsa guzo". ;) πr² (talk • changes) 01:09, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Latin to English from deviantART

I came across the phrase "Tempora fugit" at this deviantART page; and I'm assuming it means "times fly". Is that true or does it mean something else? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 03:44, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

More like "times, it flies". The subject is plural, the verb singular, and the whole ungrammatical. If the only change desired were to put the subject into the plural, it should be tempora fugiunt", "the times fly"... but I don't know how that makes much sense.

I suspect simple confusion between Cicero's o tempora, o mores! "Oh times, oh morals!" and Virgil's (paraphrased) tempus fugit "time flies". Catsidhe (talk) 04:32, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I notified the creator, Kamikaye. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 04:40, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

By the way, Catsidhe. You can translate one of Aung San Suu Kyi's quotes into Latin if you want: "It is not power that corrupts but fear." --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 05:32, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

@Catsidhe: yes, it's ungrammatical, but there's a problem with your translation, too. fugio does not mean "fly" in the modern sense; that's volo. Instead, it means "flee" or "run away".

@LX: The quote is: Non potestas sed timor corrumpit. (Literally: Not power, but fear, corrupts. The grammar of the original does not suit Latin.) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:38, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

"Time flies" is the canonical translation, in the archaic sense of "fly" = "flee". (fly etymology 2, verb sense 2.) It is also the only way the joke "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" can work. (With three shifts of meaning for "flies" in one sentence, if you think about it.)

On a tangential note, is there a way to link to a given etymology of a lemma, as there is to a given language for it? Catsidhe (talk) 05:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Damn canonicity! With the possible exception of "Fly, Fleance, fly!" which I seem to remember from Macbeth, fly is but rarely heard with that meaning from modern lips. To translate for the likes of a 17th-century Englishman is not going to convey meaning accurately.

But don't mind me, I'm just grouchy. As for your other question, do you mean like volo#Etymology 2 or something like that? if so, that's the only way I know of. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:01, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Isn't this a modern use of that sense: "I can't talk right now. I gotta fly!" --WikiTiki89 07:03, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

@Catsidhe and Metaknowledge: you could also create an anchor (which won't change if e.g. another language is put in before volo#Latin that also has two etymology sections), either by inserting <span id="Latin_etymology_2"></span> and linking to volo#Latin_etymology_2 (as I did on WT:ANDS), or by something similar to {{senseid}}. That's if you need to link from one entry to another; I don't think it's worth it to put such an anchor in just to link to an entry from a discussion. - -sche (discuss) 07:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

I would probably use 忍辱负重. To temporarily keep one's head down (yield) for a greater victory in the future (prevail), if of course that's what you meant.

Quelle est la signification de « menție » ? --Æ&Œ (talk) 08:43, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

My Romanian knowledge is almost completely nonexistent, but I believe this may be the (3rd person singular?) present subjunctive form of menține. (ro:menține also has it listed as subjunctive present). The verb means "maintain, hold out, keep up" or "abide by". These links might help: http://www.webdex.ro/online/dictionar/menție. So I guess it means "maintain". πr² (talk • changes) 17:36, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

English to latin

My brother and I are trying to get tattoos together. Will someone please translate "older/big brother teaches" and "younger/little brother learns" to Latin for me.

The first one is: Frater major docet.

The second one is: Frater minor discit. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

frater senior docet, frater iunior discit –Catsidhe (talk) 06:14, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I think major/minor is a more Classical way of putting it. I was websearching for something to back that up, and I found this, which explains quite nicely why it works with the implied "natus" (note: it uses the typographic variant "maior"). —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:27, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

It does seem that father and son with the same tria nomina were typically disambiguated as maior and minor, so I'll happily concede that. Catsidhe (talk) 06:45, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Never a Latin translation without an argument, it seems :) I'm glad you agree with the rest. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

But I would go for the spelling with -i- (i.e. maior). Using j's in Latin is so 19th century. —Angr 20:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

It's an ingrained habit, and spellings like ivdex will forever seem foreign to me. Come to think of it, I believe I was trained on 19th-c. and early 20th-c. materials, so perhaps it ought not to come as a surprise. Latin education has always been a little, er, conservative. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:16, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Ivdex is indeed weird, but iudex isn't (to me at least). I like the Latin Classical Dictionary's habit of always using u in lowercase and V in uppercase, so we can speak of uinum in Vmbria. —Angr 21:47, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I prefer the positional variation where v is initial and u medial and final, regardless of the phonetic value. (In minuscule case, anyway. Caps form is V for both.) Thus vinum in Vmbria, veni vidi vici, vlulauit, VENVS; and in an example from English, Francis Bacon's Wisedom of the Ancients, features the phrase "vast void vniuerse".

English/French to Latin translation

hey I was wondering if anybody could help translate in latin in the proper tenses: "Demons march alone"

If it helps I know how to write it in french: "Les démons marchent seuls"

Daemones soli ambulant. Not exactly "march", but I think this is the closest Latin equivalent. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 08:40, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Daemones soli incedunt seems to be more appropriate for the sense of a military massed walk. Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 09:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it's any improvement, pretty synonymous for that sense TBH. See the cites provided in the respective Lewis & Short entries. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 09:10, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

That's where I looked it up. Advento and incedo also have explicit military senses. Incedo particularly has "I. B. In partic., in milit. lang., to move forwards, advance, march", and the quote “tenero et molli ingressu suspendimus gradum: non ambulamus, sed incedimus,” that last I read as "we do not walk, we march,"

Ambulo seems to read primarily as 'to walk', where any military sense is in the same sort of sense as 'going for a walk' meaning to go on patrol.

That's how I read it, anyway. Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 09:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I interpreted the quote as juxtaposing the concept of just marching around aimlessly (as one would in training exercises) with the concept of marching to a specific destination (which would mean that actual fighting would ensue). I have no context about the demons, so I can't tell which they're engaged in. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Coming at it from the French side, "Les démons marchent seuls" tells me that "demons walk alone". Besides, "to march alone" seems like an oxymoron to me. --Jerome Potts (talk) 19:18, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

English to Latin..

Do "What do you think?" and "What say you?" mean the same thing in English, provided that What say you? is normal English. Can someone translate both to Latin, please? Thank you :) 37.251.110.142 13:33, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I would say the two phrases are synonymous. When one says "What say you?" (which incidentally is not exactly "normal English", or at least not modern) one does not actually mean "What are you saying?" but instead asking for an opinion. I cannot think of a good Classical way to say this, so I'll just go with my gut instinct on this one: Quid cogitas?. (Maybe it would be clearer just to avoid any idiomaticity and say Quam opinionem habes? — "What opinion do you have?".) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 15:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't use cogito for this meaning of "think". How about Quid putas? for "What do you think?" and Quid dicis? for "What say you?" I think in context it would be clear that Quid dicis? is also really asking for an opinion. If two or more people are being addressed, then it's Quid putatis? and Quid dicitis?. —Angr 16:35, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, puto does sound better with an object like in this situation. The thing is, if I saw Quid dicis? I would translate it as "What are you saying?", as if I was hard of hearing or thought it was nonsense. "What say you" really expands to "What would you say were you to be asked?" IMO. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:13, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

As I said, I think it depends on context. If someone made a suggestion to me and then said Quid dicis? at the end, after he had been talking, it would be pretty clear he meant "What do you say [about that]?" and not "What are you saying?" since I hadn't been saying anything at all. —Angr 18:24, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

I disagree that "What say you?" means the same thing as "What do you think?". "What say you?" is an archaic (and somewhat fossilized today) way saying "What do you say?" and means the exact same thing (which is different from "What are you saying?"). This is similar to, but not exactly the same thing as, saying "What do you think?", because it does stress the saying over the thinking. --WikiTiki89 18:58, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Am looking for the meaning in English of the text written on these two figures. This is from the shop I work in. Links to the characters would be appreciated, as I cannot type in Chinese characters. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:36, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

• On the right: 天下大将軍, or "Generalissimo Under Heaven" (i.e. of all the world). The "under heaven" part might suggest "imperial".
• On the left: 地下女将軍, though the third character could be something else. This'd parse out to "Woman General Underground", which is certainly kinda odd.

If I had to guess, I'd say the figure on the left is a joke making fun of the figure on the right, what with the odd text and the rouge circles. Probably with some political subtext for which I don't have the context. Also, I think these are Korean, judging from the headwear and the way these resemble what I think are called "spirit poles" (but for which I can find nothing in Wikipedia at the moment). -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 20:06, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Probably 將軍 instead of 将軍. The figures are the male (right) and female (left) generalissimos. Chief commanders are usually men, so the male one is "commander under heaven (i.e. of the world, All under Heaven)", while the female one is "female commander under earth/ground (i.e. of the underworld)" (天 ("sky, heaven") and 地 ("earth, ground") are antonyms). These are typically Korean: 天下大將軍,地下女將軍(천하대장군,지하여장군), commonly texts on jangseungs (장승). Google search gives more pictures with these texts. 129.78.32.21 05:18, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks, 129! Do these traditionally come in pairs like this? Is this basically a kind of male/female yin/yang thing, or is there any other significance to having the two? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 06:44, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

飛廉脚

Hirenkyaku. —Stephen ^(Talk) 02:32, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

• What Stephen said.  :) Since we don't have an entry for that, I'll add that this is specific to w:Bleach_(manga). I'm not very familiar with the manga series, but reading the Japanese article at w:ja:BLEACH and roughly translating, we get:

• 飛廉脚

足元に作った霊子の流れに乗って高速移動する滅却師の高等歩法。死神の瞬歩、破面の響転（ソニード）に値する。

• Hirenkyaku (Hiren = a wind god in ancient China; kyaku = legs)

A high-level walking technique of the Quincies for moving at high speed, using a stream of reishi (spirit particles) created at one's feet. Similar to the "flash steps" (瞬歩 (shunpo)) of the soul reapers, or the "sonido" of the arrancar.

I don’t understand what it means, so I can’t say if it’s correct. Translation is giving the meaning in another language, but I don’t know what it means. What does it mean? It seems to say that "beauty and ugliness are the same." If that’s it, then I guess, "Idem pulchritudine et deformitate." —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

That is a correct Latin sentence (assuming you implied the copula), but it means something completely different! I think I make out what the English sentence means, but not well enough to translate it right. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:13, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hm, didn't realise it would cause translation problems, sorry for that. I suppose it means that ugliness is arbitrary, as is beauty? So in principal they might be the same. I don't speak Latin, so I can't tell for sure, but I think Stephen has a correct translation of the meaning? 94.211.55.161 07:49, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Maybe being a bit more literal? et pulchritudo et foeditas arbitrarii sunt "Both beauty and ugliness are arbitrary". Not as poetic, but requiring less explanation. ---Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 08:49, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

That's very literal indeed, thank you. Any more suggestions? 94.211.55.161 15:50, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure where Catsidhe got the gender for arbitrarii from, considering that the nouns in question are feminine... I'd use the neuter myself, to imply "things". Maybe Eius pulchritudo et foeditas metrum aequum habent. = "One's beauty and ugliness have equal measure" is a lyrical reinterpretation of it that could work. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:36, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Translation of a name into burmese script

The name in need of translation is 'Mangrai' potentially spelt as 'Mengrai'.

Also what would be helpful is the burmese script for 'Kengtung'.

These aren't Burmese names, so it's a little hard to know what to do with them. For one thing, in Burmese /aɪ/ is always followed by /ɴ/ or /ʔ/, so there's no way to write "-rai" that isn't followed by anything. But English loanwords like "pie" and "tie" become /pàɪɴ/ and /tàɪɴ/, so I'll do that here: my best guess for "Mangrai" is မန်ရိုင် (/mànɹàɪɴ/ or manraing), and for "Kengtung" it's ကိန်တွန် (/kèɪntʊ̀ɴ/ or keintun). —Angr 20:31, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Addendum: from w:Kengtung I see that it has its own Burmese name, which is ကျိုင်းတုံ (/tɕáintòʊɴ/ or Kyaington). Kengtung (ၵဵင်းတုင်) is the Shan name, but Shan uses the Burmese script too, so maybe that's more what you're looking for. —Angr 20:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Also a disclaimer regarding Mangrai: my transliteration is based solely on the pronunciation and is my own invention. It's entirely possible that Mangrai has a conventional name in Burmese and/or Shan, but I don't know what it is. (Burmese Wikipedia doesn't have an article on him, and the Shan test Wikipedia doesn't seem to either.) —Angr 20:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you can get a better idea from the Thai spelling: มังราย (mang raay) (IPA: maŋ.raːj). —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:37, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

If I put that one-to-one into Burmese spelling it comes out မင်ရာယ် but I'm not sure how that would be pronounced since Burmese doesn't usually use ာယ် as a syllable rhyme. Probably /mɪ̀nɹà/ or /mɪ̀nɹɛ̀/. —Angr 09:51, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

An attempt at Irish:

Ní mó casadh ar shiúl

Ní mó casadh ar shiúl

Níl sé ach domhan atá chaithfimid gach uile a roinnt
Tá sé ní sáith atá sheasamh 's stánadh.
Bhfuil sé ach aisling atá
ní bhéidh mó casadh ar shiúl?

(I've used the adjectives lag and tuirseach as substantives. There's probably a better and/or more colloquial way of doing that, but I can't think of it.

's is a contraction of is < agus. It's common in poetry and lyrics.

Some of the nested clauses and convoluted verb forms have probably gotten away from me. I know there are people who can correct (or, less likely, confirm) my usage.)

---Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 00:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

PS: how constructive is + -acht? Does it make sense to create *tuirseacht = (tired person) from tuirse + -acht? And *lagacht (weak person, weakling) from lag + -acht? ---Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 01:22, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

-acht usually forms abstract nouns. I'd interpret tuirseacht and lagacht as "tiredness" and "weakness" respectively if they existed (cf. tuirsiúlacht "tiresomeness" and lagaíocht "tiredness"). —Angr 12:05, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

eDIL gives toiresechán in Buile Suibhne as "wretch, sorrowful person", from toirse = "sorrow, pain". That's mga, though, and I can't find evidence that the word survived. Is there a succinct way of saying "weak (person)", "tired (person)"? (Beyond duine tuirseacha, duine laga, of course.) --Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 19:41, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

The missing (red-linked at the moment) word is لدي (laḏay) means "with", "at", so لديك (laḏayk) - "you have" (literally "with you", "at you").

Trying to translate it literally, word for word, probably won't end happily. Look for a Gaelic saying that means much the same thing, such as ’Se mar a tha, mar a bha, mar a bhitheas, literally "That's how it is, how it was, how it will be", which corresponds basically to "C'est la vie" or "That's life/Such is life". —Angr 20:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

I hope they don't, because in that case the translator should not be trusted. You've used the nominative where the accusative is used, the infinitive where the subjunctive is used, and IMO consummo and pro te are OK, but I would use perficio or even just plain ago instead, and I'd use a dative without a preposition. Sorry, that comes off really harshly, but I mean it as constructive criticism :) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

That's fine for telling me that I'm wrong, but if it's clear that I don't have an adequate grasp of the grammar, just telling me that I'm wrong doesn't help much.

Yes, I am aware of the contextual irony.

-- Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 04:21, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

It's way more ironic than you know, because I tutor in Latin. I'm admittedly bad at it, but my understanding is that one ought to point out mistakes instead of rewriting — am I wrong? I'd like to improve my pedagogy.

In any case, here's my version: Non adsumus laborem tuum domus tibi perficiamus. Should I explain my changes? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I would certainly appreciate annotation. Maybe it's just the way my brain works, but I need to know how something works. If I already have an idea that something's wrong, then "you're wrong" can sometimes be enough. But if I have worked it out and am convinced that I'm not obviously wrong, then I need a more concrete pointer: this is wrong, and it is actually an instance of that pattern. Being told that I have the wrong pattern doesn't of itself help, without at least a hint how to find what the right pattern is.

My reading was along the lines: labor domi = "work of the house" (for want of a better translation) -> labor domi tuus" = "your ..." -> consummo labor... = "I complete ..." -> consummare labor ... = "to complete ..." -> non adsum consummare ... = "we are not here to ..."

-- Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 04:53, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Let's see... "work of the house" is the sort of jocular calque I often make, I have no problem with that, but domūs is a lot more suggestive of the genitive to me that the (usually locative, although correct) domī. The labor is a direct object of whatever verb you use for "to do", the sort of thing that's accusative by nature. The complementary infinitive (is that what it's called? My terminology is suspect when it comes to English.) is really a peculiarity; the Latinate way of looking at it is not "to do your homework" but "that we may do your homework", id est the present active subjunctive. Generally, if something sounds right (maybe a little archaic or even KJV-ish, like "If he be king") as a subjunctive in English, it must be a subjunctive in Latin. That rule of thumb works well for me, although I will often opt for the indicative when I can (like indirect discourse) simply because it flows faster. The benefactive dative (dativus commodi) is certainly unnecessary, it just comes closer to what a Roman might say. A quick Google shows that de:Dativus commodi has a good explanation for it if you can read German, but I suppose you can Google it for yourself. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:10, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Poem to Latin (Portuguese and english versions)

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this translation? It's my favorite poem and I wanted to tattoo the first stanza in latin:

I am nothing. I shall never be anything. I cannot wish to be anything. Aside from that, I have within me all the dreams of the world. (English)

Thanks.

Nihil sum

Check with someone else before doing anything with this, let alone getting something indelible done to your skin on the advice of strangers on the internet. -- Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 03:11, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Some comments:

• You've translated the second line as if it said "I shall be nothing", but that's different from "I shall never be anything." I would advise that the second line be Numquam quisquam ero.

  Fair point.

• I think that the construction in the third sentence is awkward, if not incorrect. Certainly it feels wrong to me. I think the cleanest solution would be Non possum quaerere ut sim quisquam.

  Frankly, I'd be surprised if it wasn't. The two infinitives certainly seemed clumsy even as I was writing them. That certainly seems a better solution.

• As for the last sentence, only me can follow in. The dependent clause doesn't make sense to me; I would advocate for an ablative absolute. On the whole, for the last sentence I think the best translation would be Illo excepto, in me omnia somnia mundi habeo.

  This line I had most trouble with. Although I though "If not that" was not unreasonable. I used teneo rather than habeo following the Portuguese tenho. -- Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 04:06, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

  Feel free to take offense with any of my corrections, argue with them, or what have you. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 03:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Re last line: It seemed to me that you were paying some attention to the Portuguese. It generally makes your writing sound more like Vulgar Latin; iste for example would be fine in Vulgar Latin thus, but in Classical Latin it has an almost derogatory tone and certainly would not be masculine. That whole clause doesn't make much sense, though — the Portuguese rendering is probably the best that any Italic or Romance tongue could do without the bare ablative. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:14, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Does Latin somnium have the same figurative sense as dream (“hope or wish”)? — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 04:21, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

No, it can mean something closer to daydream or fantasy, but for "hope or wish" I'd use plain old spes. In this case, I feel forced to take the literal translation because I can't be sure of what the author meant; each line is contextless and logically befuddling. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:24, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

English Conditional Progressive in Latin

Hello,

Translating "would be" and "would do" is very difficult for me as I cannot find any information on whether the Conditional Progressive tense exists in Latin. I'm assuming at this point that it doesn't, so how would one go about expressing the idea in Latin? I specifically need the verbs in first person singular.

Would I be wrong to use "sum iri" and "faceo iri"?

Yes, I think that would be wrong. The most common way of translating conditionals into Latin is to use the imperfect subjunctive, but there are exceptions, so I'd have know the entire sentence you want to translate to be sure. —Angr 17:57, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the swift reply! Let's say I wanted to translate something to the effect of: "War alone knows what I would be without my weapon" I'm certain it is wrong, but I would translate it as "Bellum solum quod sum iri sine meo telo scit"

Please excuse the terrible Latin, I am learning on my own (Using Wheelock's Latin and Dave Grote's UNC notes) and it is only my first week.

- Does personifying war result in any change to its nominative form?

- Is meo telo the correct dative case declention of telum? Is this the correct case to use here for "my weapon"?

- I'm using quod instead of quid here based on an above discussion, is this correct?

- Should I be using punctuation (commas) to separate the "quod sum iri sine meo telo" section?

- Lastly, is the use of sum iri to represent "I would be" correct here?

Thanks!

I believe the correct way to say that would be Bellum solum quid sine meo telo sim scit. I know this sounds like awful advice, but I honestly believe that you can't attack Latin all at once. You need to start with the basics and work your way up. Trying to swallow everything at once will only result in frustration and eventual giving up. To answer your questions in order: no, yes (correct for dative) but no (should be ablative), no (look up interrogative adjectives vs interrogative pronouns), no, and no. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 13:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

To which I would just add that although "my weapon" should be in the ablative rather than the dative, in this case the two are identical, so sine meo telo is still correct. I would also add that this sentence doesn't sound like anything any Latin writer would ever say. The Romans were very literal-minded and would be unlikely to say that war "knows" anything. They'd probably say something much more prosaic like "Through war my nature when I am unarmed is shown" (doubtless using an ablative absolute for "when I am unarmed"). —Angr 14:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, guys, that definitely helps. Μετά, I'll take your advice into consideration, as this is probably just my initial enthusiasm for Latin showing. I am translating as much as I can with my current knowledge (which is not much, I'm only on Chapter 7 of Wheelock's), including phrases like the above which I am making up as I go along. On the subject, Angr, you've opened me up to the idea that it is not only speaking differently but also thinking differently. Hopefully reading more classical texts will temper my thought process when speaking in Latin to also think in Latin as well.

Thanks again.

Translating into Latin is of course an excellent way to practice your grammar, and as long as your Latin compositions are for no one's consumption but your own, it doesn't matter if they're unidiomatic. But if you have the opportunity to take a class in Latin prose composition in the future (which I strongly recommend if you do), then your teacher and textbook will give you a lot of pointers in "thinking like a Roman" and expressing yourself in Latin the way the native speakers did rather than the way English speakers express themselves in English. The classical textbook for Latin prose composition in the English-speaking world is Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition; you can't do better than that. But wait until you're through Wheelock before you start on it or you'll just confuse yourself. —Angr 17:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

That's an excellent suggestion, Angr, and I'm very grateful for it. I've managed to find a copy on the Internet Archive, but I don't think it's a good enough quality for perusal anyway, so I may end up having to purchase it. I will definitely keep it in mind for when I am finished Wheelock's Latin; which is going to postpone my getting into Roman classics but at least provide me with a better understanding when I do. If you have any other suggestions as well I would be more than glad to hear them, despite my current level of Latin. I will most likely be pushing as far as I can with this language as it is the base for a lot of literature that I plan on reading.

If you wish to create an account and email me, I will be happy to correct your practice sentences or be of help. As an autodidact myself, I appreciate people who try to learn languages as difficult as Latin without even having a teacher. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 22:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Homework Document Translation English to Scottish Gaelic

My daughter had to do a project on a family member who migrated to New Zealand, the only person we had information for was my grandmother whose main language is Scottish Gaelic. She has to do an oral presentation in that person's character. Pleas help translate the information below:

My name is Catherine MacRae, people usually call me Kate. My maiden name was MacKinnon.

I travelled alone and left the Isle of Skye on the ferry to mainland Scotland where I stayed with a friend for a few nights. Then I travelled on the overnight train to England arriving in time to embark on the Shaw Savill and Albion Co., Limited steamship ‘Tainui’. This left Southhampton England, on 9 September 1920, stopped in Auckland and continued to Wellington where I arrived on the 31 0ctober 1920, the voyage took 59 days, which is 8 weeks and three days. Most days the sea was calm but somedays I was reminded of the ferry trips to the mainland of Scotland which could be very rough. Calm to me was enough for others to call it rough, when I thought it was rough others on the ship were thinking that staying in England may have been a good idea.

Most of my companions on the voyage were single females the youngest being 19 years of age, the eldest was a housekeeper in her forties. There was a married woman travelling with her infant son to join her husband in New Zealand. Thirty three of my companions were from England, one from Wales, another from Ireland. With nine of us from Scotland. The time on the ship allowed me to improve my English, as my main language is Gaelic.

Before The Great War I was engaged to the boy next door. When War was declared, he and the other young men of the community enlisted in the war, leaving the less able members of the family to continue on the crofts, or fishing in the north sea, which they did admirable. After the War the returned servicemen were offered the opportunity to go to New Zealand and settle there. The Government offered them assisted passage; the government gave them money towards their cost of travel. My fiancé accepted this offer and travelled to the other side of the world. Once he was settled and had a job he wrote and let me know, so that I could start making arrangements, he sent me money to help with my fare and once I had enough I finalised my travel details, so that I could join him and get married. It was scary leaving everything and everyone I knew in Scotland, especially my two older sisters, five younger brothers and a younger sister. It was also exciting to travel around the world to start a new life, and get married.

My fiancé worked on the wharfs in Wellington, so that is where I came to when I arrived in New Zealand. He had arranged accommodation for me until we could get married. Once we were married we brought a house on the hill in Johnsonville. Two years late we had our first child.

The hardest part was not many people spoke the language that I had grown up with, which was Gaelic. My husband and I helped start the Gaelic Association of Wellington. As there were a number of people from Scotland we still had the Traditional Hogmanay celebration each New Year with First Footers and ensuring the table was full of food. I make the traditional shortbread recipe that we used at home. Most of my spare time is spent knitting. We continue to celebrate Burns night with the piping in of the Haggis, Ode to the Haggis and a recital of one of his poems by each household in attendance.

What I missed the most was the large community gathering each week as I was one of nine children and my husband was one of fourteen. The lack of Gaelic language in everyday life was strange and not always having someone to talk to made me feel lonely often. Life in New Zealand was not as harsh as it was on Skye. There we walked everywhere, things took a lot longer at home, and the winters without being snowbound for days on end was wonderful. Late I had two brothers that came to live in New Zealand, and one settled in Australia.

These core functions express the ways in which the Air Force is particularly and appropriately suited to contribute to national security, but they do not necessarily express every aspect of what the Air Force contributes to the nation. It should be emphasized that the core functions, by themselves, are not doctrinal constructs.[9] [edit] Nuclear Deterrence Operations The purpose of Nuclear Deterrence Operations (NDO) is to operate, maintain, and secure nuclear forces to achieve an assured capability to deter an adversary from taking action against vital US interests. In the event deterrence fails, the US should be able to appropriately respond with nuclear options. The sub-elements of this function are:[9] Assure/Dissuade/Deter is a mission set derived from the Air Force’s readiness to carry out the nuclear strike operations mission as well as from specific actions taken to assure allies as a part of extended deterrence. Dissuading others from acquiring or proliferating WMD, and the means to deliver them, contributes to promoting security and is also an integral part of this mission. Moreover, different deterrence strategies are required to deter various adversaries, whether they are a nation state, or non-state/transnational actor. The Air Force maintains and presents credible deterrent capabilities through successful visible demonstrations and exercises which assure allies, dissuade proliferation, deter potential adversaries from actions that threaten US national security or the populations and deployed military forces of the US, its allies and friends.[9] Nuclear strike is the ability of nuclear forces to rapidly and accurately strike targets which the enemy holds dear in a devastating manner. If a crisis occurs, rapid generation and, if necessary, deployment of nuclear strike capabilities will demonstrate US resolve and may prompt an adversary to alter the course of action deemed threatening to our national interest. Should deterrence fail, the President may authorize a precise, tailored response to terminate the conflict at the lowest possible level and lead to a rapid cessation of hostilities. Post-conflict, regeneration of a credible nuclear deterrent capability will deter further aggression. The Air Force may present a credible force posture in either the continental US, within a theater of operations, or both to effectively deter the range of potential adversaries envisioned in the 21st century. This requires the ability to engage targets globally using a variety of methods; therefore, the Air Force should possess the ability to induct, train, assign, educate and exercise individuals and units to rapidly and effectively execute missions that support US NDO objectives. Finally, the Air Force regularly exercises and evaluates all aspects of nuclear operations to ensure high levels of performance.[9] Nuclear surety ensures the safety, security and effectiveness of nuclear operations. Because of their political and military importance, destructive power, and the potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized act, nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon systems require special consideration and protection against risks and threats inherent in their peacetime and wartime environments. The Air Force, in conjunction with other entities within the Departments of Defense or Energy, achieves a high standard of protection through a stringent nuclear surety program. This program applies to materiel, personnel, and procedures that contribute to the safety, security, and control of nuclear weapons, thus assuring no nuclear accidents, incidents, loss, or unauthorized or accidental use (a Broken Arrow incident). The Air Force continues to pursue safe, secure and effective nuclear weapons consistent with operational requirements. Adversaries, allies, and the American people must be highly confident of the Air Force’s ability to secure nuclear weapons from accidents, theft, loss, and accidental or unauthorized use. This day-to-day commitment to precise and reliable nuclear operations is the cornerstone of the credibility of the NDO mission.

Moreover, different deterrence strategies are required to deter various adversaries, whether they are a nation state, or non-state/transnational actor. The Air Force maintains and presents credible deterrent capabilities through successful visible demonstrations and exercises which assure allies, dissuade proliferation, deter potential adversaries from actions that threaten US national security or the populations and deployed military forces of the US, its allies and friends.[9] Nuclear strike is the ability of nuclear forces to rapidly and accurately strike targets which the enemy holds dear in a devastating manner. If a crisis occurs, rapid generation and, if necessary, deployment of nuclear strike capabilities will demonstrate US resolve and may prompt an adversary to alter the course of action deemed threatening to our national interest. Should deterrence fail, the President may authorize a precise, tailored response to terminate the conflict at the lowest possible level and lead to a rapid cessation of hostilities. Post-conflict, regeneration of a credible nuclear deterrent capability will deter further aggression. The Air Force may present a credible force posture in either the continental US, within a theater of operations, or both to effectively deter the range of potential adversaries envisioned in the 21st century. This requires the ability to engage targets globally using a variety of methods; therefore, the Air Force should possess the ability to induct, train, assign, educate and exercise individuals and units to rapidly and effectively execute missions that support US NDO objectives. Finally, the Air Force regularly exercises and evaluates all aspects of nuclear operations to ensure high levels of performance.[9] Nuclear surety ensures the safety, security and effectiveness of nuclear operations. Because of their political and military importance, destructive power, and the potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized act, nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon systems require special consideration and protection against risks and threats inherent in their peacetime and wartime environments. The Air Force, in conjunction with other entities within the Departments of Defense or Energy, achieves a high standard of protection through a stringent nuclear surety program. This program applies to materiel, personnel, and procedures that contribute to the safety, security, and control of nuclear weapons, thus assuring no nuclear accidents, incidents, loss, or unauthorized or accidental use (a Broken Arrow incident). The Air Force continues to pursue safe, secure and effective nuclear weapons consistent with operational requirements. Adversaries, allies, and the American people must be highly confident of the Air Force’s ability to secure nuclear weapons from accidents, theft, loss, and accidental or unauthorized use. This day-to-day commitment to precise and reliable nuclear operations is the cornerstone of the credibility of the NDO mission.

Actually, importantia doesn't seem to be a Classical Latin word.

in need of a translation for a tattoo design. by the nature of the translations purpose it has to be right seeing as its gonna be with me for the rest of my life.

the phrase im looking for is "bury me in a shallow grave"

ive had multiple outcomes looking and reading latin texts. the most common so far is, "sepelite me in vada gravi" although im pretty sure that these are the right words but with the wrong meanings. e.g. i think the gravis is grave as in serious more the burial place/ tomb. and the shallow term i think is in reference to a ford and not a description of depth.

the translation ive tried piecing together myself is... "humo me in vadosus tombus"... can anyone tell me if thats correct or even go the whole hog and tell me exactly what im looking for?

The sepelite me part is right if you're addressing this to more than one person (it's sepeli me if you're addressing just one person), but "in a shallow grave" should be in sepulcro humili. —Angr 18:55, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Instead of “Vida longa ao”, you can also use “viva o,” “Deus salve o” or for an informal translation “vai”.
