Modi Perficio

 
 
Reply Sat 1 Aug, 2009 06:13 am
Could Modi Perficio be translated? "that method which accomplishes" I am not sure of the cases of either Latin word. Is it Modi or Modus? Is it Perficio or Perfici or Perficius? Are all of those words?

I intend to communicate "that method which accomplishes"

What is the proper case for both words? Is there a better choice of word?

@jerrywickey,
I'd say it means Perfect Way or Perfect Model.

@jerrywickey,
Modi Perficio would mean "Of the method I accomplish".
Sounds like something from an automated online translator,
if you don't mind my saying so.

The proper case for "modus" is nominative.
Verbs do not have cases. I think you want the third person singular, present
indicative active form, "perficit".

And don't forget about "that" and "which".

The method that accomplishes is modus operandi, plural modi operandi

Modus perfectus, plural modi perfecti relates to music and means the perfect way.
