I'm surprised to not have seen this one yet:
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"

but i don't agree with its sentiment, personally.

it's pacem because it's in the accusative case, which means is the direct object. it's a 3rd declension noun. take latin before you start correcting people.

Easy, now. Sir Tok is just trying to help.
He acknowledged that he may be wrong and explained how he came up with his
answer.
Sir Tok wrote:
The actual spelling for that latin quote is, "Sic Vis Pacis, Para Bellum"
I believe it is that because i tried checking up the spelling of that quote and that is what came up. I used a English-Latin Latin-English Translator.
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry to have wasted your time.


I agree with "pacem", by the way.

Semper ubi sub ubi - Always wear underwear.
The word "where" is a locative, not a verb, and in this instant it is a verb and
a noun in the English translation.

Always wear underwear.
The word where is a locative and the English translation should use the verb 'wear' and the noun underware.

The correct translation is: "Out of many one."
This is a reference to the people from different nations who came to North America and established the United States of America.

i've got a question, does "knowledge is power, so sieze the day" equates to
Scientia est potentia, vic Carpe Diem ?
And isnt Pacem and Pacis the same thing, they are both interuseable in this case as they both mean peace. I do not know about grammar that might apply here though

The answers are on page one of this thread but anyway:

- sic vis pacem para bellum : If you want peace, prepare for war
- nemo provocare ne offendere audet quem intelliget superiorem esse pugnaturem : Do not provoke nor offend those you know are superior in the battle.
- Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc : We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.

It sounds good But I doubt it's good Latin. Sic means "Thus." Nunc means "now." Loosely, maybe it implies "Thus we now eat those subjecting." There a lot that has to be implied in those few words, which sometimes happens with more common, idiomatic expressions, but not with rather novel ones. Anyhow, if nothing else, it sounds good.
