Serretes wrote:Una Stomus.
The verb is sto, stere, stedi, statum, I believe. Therefore making it decline in the 3rd declension as opposed to the 1st.

You no idea what you're talking about. First, there is no verb in the entire language that ends in -omus.
Second, it's sto, stare, steti, status, and third, verbs don't even decline. They conjugate.

"You shall find perdition, and it will set you free."

Is it, by any chance, "Perditionem invenies et illa te liberabit"?

I do believe that works, yes.

Could someone please translate: All men need money.
I would really appreciate it.
Also, could you translate: War is only bad for the unprepared. I need it for another nation. Thanks again.

Could someone please translate for me, "To the stars, despite adversity"?

by **SV Somnium** » Fri Jan 03, 2014 3:47 pm

Coild you translate "Freedom is the ends; unity is the means."?

Ad astra, quamquam asperi.

Not sure about the use of quamquam here.

SV Somnium wrote:Coild you translate "Freedom is the ends; unity is the means."?

Libertas exitus est; unitas actus est.

I think contra works better than quamquam there.

I don't suppose you know "Death to New World Order" in Latin?

by **Tim-Opolis** » Fri Jan 03, 2014 6:42 pm

Nephmir wrote:I don't suppose you know "Death to New World Order" in Latin?

That's a fairly easy one.

Mors ad Novo Mundus Impero

I'm not 100% sure if that's grammatically correct, since it's been about three weeks since I did any serious Latin Translating but that's the best I can come up with at the top of my head.
Any other Latin Scholars here that can back me up?

Mors Novo Ordini Mundi, I should think.

Also, asperi should be aspera.

So really, Ad astra contra aspera.

Which, really, is basically the same as Ad astra per aspera (to the stars through adversity).

War for peace, war for liberty.

Here's one: Scientia Vehiculo Verita Mihi Ostenditur

It's supposed to be akin to "With science as my vehicle, the truth is known to me" yet it doesn't seem right to me. The motto was ~~stolen~~ borrowed from an organization on campus. How accurate is it, though?

Verita should be veritas but otherwise that's actually beautiful Latin.

I used google translate to get my motto. I made sure it translated back to what I wanted but I'd like to make sure it's correct.

"Vitae Libertatis doctrinarum studia"

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of knowledge"

No.

Never, ever use Google Translate for Latin.

You want Vita, Libertas, Scientiae Studium.

Ah, thank you.

Though that doesn't seem to imply a pursuit of knowledge in the same way one would pursue happiness. Is there any way of preserving the terminology?

It does imply it.

Studium does not merely mean study -- it means eagerness, zeal, devotion, enthusiasm, and pursuit.

How would the phrase "Always Changing Shapes" translate into Latin?

How would ""different people can stand united in peace" translate?

Would someone translate "truth in technology; freedom in the environment" for me? Thanks greatly.

Also, "Mirare" is the name of my region's planet. I've been told this might be Latin. If it is, then what does it mean?
