ENGLISH TO LATIN

"Bro, do you even Latin?"

This is for my schools Latin Club shirts. Help is much appreciated!

Latin doesn't really lend itself to this sort of thing, relying as it does on contemporary culture and a standard unstandard language.

the nearest I can think of off the top of my head is something like frater, etiam latinum tibi?

others may (read: probably will, and with good reason) differ.

--Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 03:17, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, no offense, but even though both the original English and your translation are grammatically incorrect, the Latin you've produced is truly incomprehensible.

I suggest that you try something different for the shirts, maybe something that a Roman would say. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 03:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

What about “frā’, lātinās tū?” — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 03:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

That certainly captures the spirit of the original, but I would advise putting in -ne for grammar's sake... maybe Fra', latinasne et tu? The et is in the sense of timeo Danaos et dona ferentes, if you're wondering. Still, could be misleading... —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:06, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't think 'even you' is intended. —Tamfang (talk) 00:52, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

english to Latin

Would love to know the translation for "Things are only as important as I want them to be"

Res significationem habent tantum quantulum volo. (doublecheck it) —Stephen ^(Talk) 14:21, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

That doesn't sound right... try Res importantiam habent solum tantum sicut volo. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:43, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Or Importantia rerum in voluntate mea posita est. —Angr 17:01, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Hadn't thought of that, but I like it. I think it's better than mine, although the passive makes me think "Quis posuit?" —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:07, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually, importantia doesn't seem to be a Classical Latin word. The usual way of saying "X is important to me" is "X meā refert" (meā always in the feminine ablative singular, maybe something like mente is understood?) so maybe Res non referunt mea nisi volo would be better. —Angr 17:13, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

can i have an english to latin translation for this text please. have looked around and keep getting different responses

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)

Please translate the following sentence to French:

"Now that I know what it feels like to have you in my life, I can't go back to a world without you."

‘Maintenant que je sais qu’on se sent t’avoir dans ma vie, je ne peux pas revenir à un monde sans toi.’ (REALLY needs peer review.) --Æ&Œ (talk) 20:37, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

« Maintenant que je sais comment ça ressent de t'avoir dans ma vie, je ne peux pas retourner à un monde sans toi. » Not sure about the ça ressent (underlined) but I'm sure it's at least comprehensible, if not perfect. PS « ça sent » usually means 'it smells' so I'd avoid that completely. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:00, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much,

Pourriez-vous écrire mes chèques sous le nom de Elvira Margarita Lozano (je n'utilise plus Lozano Vermande Elvira). En plus, pourriez-vous m'envoyer des chèques en dollars au lieu d'en euros. Je vous envoie également une photocopie de mon permit de conduire. Prier de m'envoyer des chèques à mon adresse personnelle.

This is probably imperfect but still pretty good IMO. With formal letters in French always go really, really formal. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

How does one say 'long live Romance!' in any language? (I am especially interested in seeing Romance translations). --66.190.69.246 02:45, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Portuguese: “Vida longa ao romanço!” — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 03:21, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Instead of “Vida longa ao”, you can also use “viva o,” “Deus salve o” or for an informal translation “vai”. Instead of “romanço” you can use “romance” (though this is more likely to be interpreted as emotional romance, instead of Romance languages), “línguas romances” or “línguas neolatinas.” — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 14:58, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

French: Vive la romance !

Italian: Viva il romanticismo!

Spanish: ¡Qué viva el romance! (Assuming you mean romance, or ardent emotional attachment between people. If you meant "Romance languages", then it would be something else.) —Stephen ^(Talk) 08:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC) LARGA VIDA AL ROMANCE! -> LITERAL MEANING

Am quite sure that it is ‘Romance languages.’ --Æ&Œ (talk) 09:18, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Romance languages, since it’s upper case. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 14:41, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I think in French, « vivent les langues latines ! » is the best (langue romaine is another possibility). Mglovesfun (talk) 15:02, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, or , we could have « Longue vie aux langues romanes ! » --Jerome Potts (talk) 21:38, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Just to mix things up a bit, in German it's Lang leben die romanischen Sprachen!. —Angr 18:29, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Dutch: "Lang leven de Romaanse talen!" - Catalan: "Que visquin les llengües romàniques!" - Swedish: "Länga leve de romanska språken!" - Slovene: "Naj živijo romanski jeziki!" - Finnish (I think): "Kauan eläkööt romaaniset kielet!" —CodeCat 18:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

If Romance is in the sense of "Romance languages", then

1. Russian: да здра́вствуют рома́нские языки́ (da zdrávstvujut románskije jazykí). Letter "j" is "y" as in "yes" and the first "v" in "zdrávstvujut" is silent.
2. Mandarin Chinese: 羅曼語族萬歲 (trad. Chin.), 罗曼语族万岁 (simpl. Chin.) (Luómàn yǔzú wànsuì)
3. Japanese: ロマンス諸語万歳 (Romansu shogo banzai)
4. Arabic: عاش اللغات الرومانسية (ʿāša al-luġāt al-rūmānsíyya) (edited romanisation, checked by ZxxZxxZ)

Unus manipulus, visio una, I guess, though I'm not sure if visio can be used metaphorically like that. Maybe Unus manipulus, scopus unus, which means "One team, one goal/target", which might make a nice pun depending on what your team plays. —Angr 17:22, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

That's brilliant ... and a perfect pun for my son's football team! Many thanks for your help.

On further reflection (and dictionary-browsing), turma may be better than manipulus for a sports team, so Una turma, scopus unus. —Angr 18:48, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Do you really want the responsibility for the accuracy of the inscription on the engagement ring to lie with some anonymous person on the Internet?

Looking For Your Face

From the beginning of my life I have been looking for your face but today I have seen it

Today I have seen the charm, the beauty, the unfathomable grace of the face that I was looking for

Today I have found you and those who laughed and scorned me yesterday are sorry that they were not looking as I did

I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes

My heart has burned with passion and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty that I now behold

I am ashamed to call this love human and afraid of God to call it divine

Your fragrant breath like the morning breeze has come to the stillness of the garden You have breathed new life into me I have become your sunshine and also your shadow

My soul is screaming in ecstasy Every fiber of my being is in love with you

Your effulgence has lit a fire in my heart for me the earth and sky

My arrow of love has arrived at the target I am in the house of mercy and my heart is a place of prayer
