Latin motto clinic

[Gerrymander]

If you could translate "The one I feed." into Latin it would be much appreciated. For reference; http://www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legen ... rokee.html.

Quem alo.

Thank you kindly. Although, I'll admit that I feel a bit stupid. I've checked back a number of times not realizing that my post was the last on the previous page.

CAEDITE EOS works when I'm trying to say "Kill them", right?

Sort of. You'll want the second person singular when referring to an indefinite number of subjects, so you'd probably actually want Caede eos. And then, to my ear, Caede illos sounds better, as the phrase seems likely to be referring to "some people over there" and it doesn't come out sounding like some word caedeos in the mouth.

Furthermore, I'd consider looking at other verbs for "kill", as caedere has a sense more equivalent to the English "to cut down" than the basic "to kill" -- same effect, essentially, but a different nuance in terms of brutality.

I'm looking for something like: All golden-buttered, from crust to crust

At the moment I've got A crusta usque ad crusta, omnia butyrum aureus which I'm sure is horrible ("from crust to crust, all the butter is golden"?), but I pinched it from Canada and I think it has a good rhythm. I'm not too fussed about how close the actual literal translation reads to the english given above, so if "slathered in golden butter all across the toasty loaf" or "buttered gold crunchy hot bread" comes out better in Latin, I'll prefer it over something that might be a perfect translation but sounds rubbish.

Key elements: butter, preferably golden; toast

Show off a bit, use your imagination, have fun. Thanks.

I'll get to fixing the flag next...

Google doesn't always provide the most accurate translations or satisfy basic stylistic concerns.

Google Translate "knows" Latin in the same way that a rabbit knows the finer points of Kantian philosophy: that is to say, not even remotely.

I think butyro sparso aureo a crusta usque ad crustam could work (lit. "with golden butter having been spread from crust to crust"), but I'd like to do more research because I'm not 100% confident that spargere is the word the Romans would have used for spreading butter.

Interficete eas/os/a?

Interfice, not interficete: the singular is preferred when making general statements to an indefinite number of subjects. And hic and ille do tend to be used as personal pronouns more than the actual third person personal pronouns.

I think the Italians would use 'spalmare', if that's any indication.
Maybe 'cooperiō' (cover) would work? No idea of the correct conjugation, person-tense, etc., but it has a good positive, friendly sound to it.
Other 'latin-y' suggestions from crappy web translate sites have included 'delino' (for smear?) or 'misso' (for slather?) but I'm not convinced.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll gladly take that, and check back in case you find yourself compelled to update further, but you've impressed me already. Cheers! Have a slice on me

I think it's clear that the action (kill) requires a concrete subject that is plural in the context of the motto.

Yes, though in certain circumstances you'll see sese instead.

I currently have "Deus Ex Dominatione", based off the famous "Deus Ex Machina". However what translators give me is "The God of Domination", but I want it to mean "God(hood) from Domination".
