Latin motto clinic

[Erythrean Thebes]

Hmm, I would do 'quem' here...

Hmm... upon thought you're right. 'Quem' should agree with 'me', being the complement of 'esse'.

Or actually, quicquid for quem, even. "I am whatever they think I am"

But you see in Latin it has a harsh sound, har har

[Great Nortend]

Quidquid could be used then, to ameliorate that. 'Sum quidquid me opinatur esse'. I can't quite parse, 'Sum Aliorum Mihi Sentiones'.What does 'sentiones' mean? 'Sensus' is in the fourth declension I believe. 'I am the perceptions of others [regarding] me', with a dative of reference, as presumably the dative of possession isn't applicable. Or is the dative of possession intended, and it's essentially the classic, 'To me are (I am) the perceptions of others', which doesn't seem to quite carry the same meaning.

In that sentence, 'mihi' would have the meaning 'of me,' "others' thoughts of me," the dative of reference, which has that sense in English. I think sensus is better, or what I prefer now, a substantive participle 'sensum,' "what is thought," rather than sentio. The whole construction is a little dubious though. I think 'sum...sensus/sensum' doesn't have the right meaning unless you add "ut," to connote equivalency, or as you said, a relative clause of the type "quid/quem."

My original sentence might be appropriate in a conversation ("vero quid es?" "sum aliorum mihi sensus") but I too feel that it's too ambiguous and could be improved with one of these new constructions

I think I must have written my motto years ago, and probably used google translate. I was aiming for "Strength through Liberty." (I said 'Viribus ex Libero,' don't know if that's right.) Did I get it right? If not,how would you phrase that in Latin?

Libertas ex vi (liberty from force)
Libertas ex fortitudine (liberty from strength)
Per libertatem vis (through liberty, force)
Per libertatem fortitudo (through liberty, strength

Per libertatem vis (through liberty, force)

Thanks! I like that second one, but the order is backwards from what I'm trying to say. If I just flip it--"Fortitudine ex Libertas," does that still work?

oh, lol
no
Fortitudo ex libertate

[Soriezi]

Hmmm, how would I say "Peace and Liberty" or "Peace and Freedom". Thanks in advance

[Great Nortend]

Pax et Libertas.

[Tracian Empire]

How would you say "We will persevere"? Or "We will persevere towards the light?"

[Erythrean Thebes]

How would you say "We will persevere"? Or "We will persevere towards the light?"

"perveniamus" - 'we will come through'

"perveniamus ad lucem" - 'we will come through to the light'

[Great Nortend]

Ad lucem perseverabimus

You could use perveniemus, but I am under the impression it has a meaning more akin to 'reach' rather than 'struggle through'. Perveniamus is in the subjunctive.

[Tanwirid]

Not motto but:
Sultan Al-Khataei slave of god.

Why is an Indian trying to tie himself to a foreign grandeur alien to his people, when you could be tying yourself to Timur and the Mughals. Can't you use Arabic or Urdu?

Rex Al-Khataei, servus dei

al-Khataei could have become
Rex Alcataicus, servus dei.

[Unidox]

Ok I need help. How do you say "All have a voice."?

[Great Nortend]

Omnes voces habent.

[Unidox]

Omnes voces habent.

Thank you so very much.

[West Maga And East Brexit]

When you want a Latin motto, why not just use Ego Sum Ideo Vici?

[Blueflarst]

Aeternum resiliens animus per bellum et evolutio.

[Raccoon Creek]

What would ”At the water’s edge” be in Latin?

For example, ”The raccoon at the water’s edge.”

[Conoga]

What would ”At the water’s edge” be in Latin?

For example, ”The raccoon at the water’s edge.”

ad litus (at the shore)
ad finitionem aquarium (at the watery boundary)

Raccoons are Columbian, so I dunno what the word is.

Thank you. "Ad Litus" seems most fitting.

Raccoons are Columbian? The term raccoon originates from Virginia Algonquian "aroughcun". I don't want the term 'raccoon' included rather I want the motto to reflect where they can be found "The raccoon can be found at the water's edge" or "The raccoon came from the water's edge."

This image I feel demonstrates this well.

You'd still need the word 'raccoon' for that though. You could potentially use the scientific genus name... procyon?

Procyon ad litem invenitur

I have a question too: I am writing a translation in a fictional 'Court Latin' which is basically just normal Latin with some things like the use of 'ille, illa, illud' as a definite article, of an enactment clause. I have this:

Ergo, nos humile vestras apprimas majestates rogamus, per et cum consilio consentuque dominorum spiritualium et temporalium et regni communium in hoc parlamento assemblato hodie, ut [Long title of the Bill in English] ordinetis et assentiatis.

Assemblatus is a past participle, of a 'made up' verb, assemblare, to assemble. Please let me know if it is correct (to you). It is supposed to mean something like this:

Therefore, we humbly beseech your most excellency Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal and the Commons of the Kingdom in this Parliament to-day assembled, that (you) will ordain and assent to [the Bill for an Act to... ].

That’s fine. I just want to use which ever translation works best. What is the English translation of ”Procyon ad litem invenitur”?

[Conoga]

Raccoons are Columbian? The term raccoon originates from Virginia Algonquian "aroughcun".

A good day to learn a new word, then! Columbian and Colombian aren't the same word.

That’s fine. I just want to use which ever translation works best. What is the English translation of ”Procyon ad litem invenitur”?

"The raccoon can be found at the lawsuit."

Litus is irregular, its accusative is litus.
"Procyon ad litus invenitur," is, "The raccoon can be found at the shore."

Thank you! The former of the two translations is exactly what I've been looking for and thank you for the new knowledge on the use of "Columbian" and "Colombian".
