Latin motto clinic

[Astrolinium]

For all those smarter than me, could someone translate this into Latin?

"Strength from God, Liberty from Sacrifice."

Ex Deo Fortitudo, Ex Sacrificio Libertas.

Thank you! Out of curiosity, would it be the same if you reversed the order? I.e., would "Ex Sacrificio Libertas, Ex Deo Fortitudo" be grammatically correct?[/quote]

Yup, absolutely!

Astro, what would be a good Latin motto for my old flag (currently visible)?

Hmmm... not sure. Could you tell me more about the flag's symbolism and context?

Well, it's a Prussian flag, with a new colour scheme. We're supposed to be next to Prussia, and when a new national flag was drawn up, the Prussian one was conveniently copied, with colours adjusted to suit the taste of the court. It wasn't in use for long, though.

Hmmmm... perhaps Alis Ferriis, "On Iron Wings"? Or, maybe, Alae Ferro Duriores, "Wings Stronger Than Iron".

How would semper caeruleus super rubrī?

How would semper caeruleus super rubrī?

Well, I like the sentiment (assuming you mean "Always Blue Over Red"?), but that's not quite right. I think Semper Caerulei Pro Rubris would be better, assuming you mean blue people vs. red people, whatever that means.

I meant a blue flag over a red (i.e. Prussian) one. It's a snark on Prussia after stealing their flag design.

Ah! The better, then, would be: Semper Caeruleum [Vexillum] Pro Rubro.

Can I please have these two translated?

"To Live is to See, to Love is to Know"
"Until Victory"

thank you!

Sure thing!

Vivere est Videre, Amareque est Scire

and

Ad Victoriam.

Note that, in the first one, the que is functioning sort of the same way an English semicolon does (it shows that two thoughts are related and is often translated as "and"), so if you use the two phrases separately or reverse them, you'd take that off or put it on the end of vivere, respectively.

thanks a ton! Sounds so much better in latin than in english.

What about: 'Truth for authority, not authority for truth'?

[Voltrovia]

Is biennalis a better of way of saying X occurs once every two years than biennis?

I am specifically trying to avert the sense of 'of two years'; neither it nor 'lasting two years' accurately describes a biennal event.

No, they both seem to mean the same thing. The Romans don't seem to have had, from a very quick look around, a good way of describing an event that happened once every two years in one word. You might try asking over at Latin Discussion Forum -- if I know of anywhere on the internet where there's somebody about who knows of such a word, it's there.

How would the motto of the Palaiologos Dynasty sound in Latin?

I'm supposed to learn Latin in school, but I'm very much a beginner, and Google Translate is far from helping.

The first part would be "Imperator Imperatorum". The latter, I dunno... maybe "Supra Rectores Rego/Regit"?

It would help if you provided the motto of the Palaiologos Dynasty for those of us who are not familiar with it. I'm assuming you mean Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων, yes?

That translates out pretty simply to Imperator Imperatorum Imperans Imperantibus.

Yeah, that would be it, sorry for not providing it.

Well, it sounds good to me. I know what Imperator means, but I'm still not in such an advanced phase of my Latin learning to be able to make something like this.

Thank you very much, Astrolinium and Gigaverse!

How would you say, "She rises anew"?

[Astrolinium]

How would you say, "She rises anew"?

Resurgit nova.

[Gigaverse]

1. Do we have a translation for "Marine (n.)" in Latin that doesn't turn into "Maritime Infantry"/"Naval Infantry"?
2. Is there Latin for "self-defense" (in the sense seen in "Japan Self-Defense Force")? Because I'm not exactly sure "personalis" is used to point at a group or a society.
3. Is there an adjectival equivalent of "spatial"?

What about 'From the Power of God'?

[Gigaverse]

What about 'From the Power of God'?

My take is "Ab Potestate Dei". I'm not entirely sure however, Astrolinium-sama is still le master.
