I wonder how many tatoos were generated with George's help Laughing

One more thing George.

Can you clarify the following

Pro eis quos amo omnia condonabo = On behalf of those whom I love I shall surrender all things

Pro illis quos amo jacturam faciam - For the ones I love I will sacrifice

Thanks once again

Good idea. Let's break it down.

"Pro" of course means "for" or "on behalf of".
"Eis" and "illis" both mean "those". "Eis" is a form of the pronouns that
correspond to "he, she, it" in English; "illis" is a plural form of "that".
"Quos" is "whom".
"Amo is "I love".
"Omnia" is "all things".
"Condonabo" is the future first person singular of "condono" which literally means "give away" or "present", but also means "give up to" or "sacrifice to".
"Iacturam" means "a throwing away", but also means "a loss" or "a
sacrifice".
"Faciam" means "I shall make".

NOTE: I had used "quibus" in error. "Quos" is correct.

How about a translation of "Does this tattoo make me look like a prat, or what?"

I don't know whether it's Paul's case, but many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are getting similar tattoos. If it is your case, Paul- best of luck and speedy homecoming!

McTag - I am sure you are familiar with the saying "if you have nothing good to say........"

Yes. I sometimes make similar comment on the self-disfugurement threads because I cannot see any merit in staining your skin with indelible dyes.
Most, almost all, tattooed people eventually regret having done it, or are metally retarded.
This is my honest opinion, not meant to give offence, and supplied for your own good.

Tobacco is addictive and injurious to health, too. :wink:

Most people regret them because they walk into a parlour and ask for a tribal or Skull and Roses tattoo that means nothing to them. They think "it looked good on the wall" and then realise that it looks no good on their skin.
If a tattoo means something to the person getting it then their should be no regrets.

@George,

Illis quos amo deserviam

is this also a right translation?

@nitcha,

deservio = to serve zealously, be devoted to.
By extension, you might coax "to sacrifice" out of that.

@George,

so what would you suggest as most correct one Smile

sorry if i dont understand everything right away but I'm not used to discusse in english

@nitcha,

I see that the redoubtable Maria from allexperts has weighed in on this.

I defer to her learned opinion.

Quote:

So, the best Latin translation for “For those I love I will sacrifice" is the following, according to what we read in Cicero :
“Illis quos amo deserviam”

@McTag,

"not meant to give offence, " ... Failed or Lied
"supplied for your own good."... Prat
"Most, almost all, tattooed people eventually regret having done it, or are metally retarded.".. Your knowledge of what people do or do not regret is , in your own words, retarded. You have no way of knowing what people do or do not regret. You are basing your opinion on nothing more than your own ignorant view of something you have a distaste for. If you don't like tattoos, fine, that's your personal prerogative. No need to insult those of us who do. I'm sure there are things you do and love that others in society deem "retarded" but we aren't shoving your asinine nose in it are we?
