Latin motto clinic

[Iuronia]

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

Veritas in technologia; libertas in natura.

Another option, which would be slightly metaphorical, and I'm not sure if applicable, could be:

Veritas in artificio; libertas in circumiecto.

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?

I believe it is "to wonder, marvel (at something)."

Edit 1: Fixed the first example (dative > ablative).

Wait, why are those dative?

Shit, I mixed up the dative with the ablative. I must've confused it with Gothic or some shit, because it uses the dative for locatives.

Motto for my puppet is "De Pace Libertas" right now. I'm trying to say "From Peace, Freedom". Does that make sense? Thanks.

I'd prefer a rather than de. Maybe even with no preposition, but I'd go with a (which I believe would wield something like "freedom by peace," something ex/e might render as "freedom from peace").

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of miror (inf: mirari). I don't think 'mirare' is a word.

Ah, yea, you're right. But mirare is a word which bears the same meaning in Romanian, Sardinian, and Italian, so I'd assume that's what their name means.

I have attempted to translate my motto 'To bring light, through diligence and dexterity.' using what grasp I have of Latin. Is 'Apportare lucem, per industriam et astutiam' in fact a correct translation?

It works well enough; I'd maybe use ferre instead of apportare, and (as a bit of stylistic niggle) perhaps switch the order of those two 'round and use -que instead of et.

Hey kind people. I was wondering if somebody could translate this into latin for me? “Swift as foxes, hungry like wolves!”. I tried google translate but alas no luck. Cheers

I think I will keep apportare in order to retain the meaning of the conveyance and bringing of something as opposed to the mere act of bearing something. Nonetheless, your stylistic advice is entirely appropriate and has been taken on board to produce [b]'Apportare lucem, per astutiamque industriam.'

Thank you for the help.

The -que has to go on whichever word is last, actually.

And I meant to switch the order of apportare and lucem, anyway -- good Latin style tends to prefer an SOV order.

It is evident I still remain prone to the making of silly mistakes with what Latin I do know - as is evidenced by the above! Finally: 'Lucem apportare, per astutiam industriamque.'

Thank you once more.

Ah, yea, you're right. But mirare is a word which bears the same meaning in Romanian, Sardinian, and Italian, so I'd assume that's what their name means.

Erm... "Mirare" is a word in Latin.

Verse 2 of the Catholic prayer "Omni die dic Mariae" says: "Contemplare et mirare Ejus celsitudinem: Dic felicem genitricem, Dic beatam Virginem.

Ah, my apologies. That form of mirare is actually the imperative of the word miror I referred to early. miror = 'to wonder at', mirare = 'wonder at, or be amazed!'.

Mirare is in Vulgar Latin, Mirari is its form in Classical.

Except that, as noted above, mirare is the classical imperative.

Omnia bona sunt; errare humanum est.

Yes, but I simply presented the other explanation as to what that word is.

Ok, this is just waht I was looking for. First I'd like to ask if my current motto is correct. If I remeber corectly it was a speaker of latin who corrected it for me but I want to check. And I wanted another motto but it might be too big... How do you say: "Behold now the Great Machine of the World, ethereal and elemental constructed upon knowledge and conquest"?

Your current motto is current.

The second one is probably too long for the field, but would translate to (I think):

Ecce nunc Machina Mundi Magna, aetheria et elementalis, confecta a scientia victoriaque.

Yeah that's one of my concerns. I'll take out the elemental and ethereal part ant it becomes a reasonable size. But thank you it looks epic and sounds pretty good according to google translator. It's a very adapted citation of Os Lusíadas, just for curiosity

[Mitonesia]

Well this is annoying... "Ecce nunc Machina Mundi Magna confecta a scientia victoriaque." is six letters too long. Is there any way to shorten it?

Nunc and magna seem the least necessary parts of the phrase.
