Conversion of English phrase into Latin

Donum ardens a Deo

Donum ardens meum a Deo

Thanks George!

Could I ask you a follow up question? This is actually for my son...he appreciates your response so far but he was curious as to the word "Deo".
Do you know how one would pronounce that particular word and lets say it was to form part of a tattoo....would there be any special characters involved or would it be exactly as you wrote it (Deo)?

Also,
The birthdate 05/22/07 ... how would that be represented in Latin? (Seems odd to ask that question as clearly that date is well after Latin was originally used but I'm sure there must be some way to represent a date.)

Again, thanks!

First of all, please have someone else reveiw this before committing to a tattoo.
I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just a guy who does this for fun.


It's pronounced DAYoh. Yeah, like the song.
You don't need any special characters.
