Hi all,
could anyone translate "to absent friends" in to Latin please
I want a tattoo for two friends that died and want use the line from the toast so rather than just converting each word I need the grammar to reflect the meaning
Cheers, Joe
@George,
thanks for that George
I did see a very similar translation for the same saying but can't find it again, the only difference was it was actually 3 words, I think the "to" was split out
@alicedj,
If you find it, please post it here.
I'd be interested in what they used for "to".
@George,
Hi George,
clearing out the garage at the weekend and I found it
"Pro absentibus amicis" was the original translation
Cheers, J
@alicedj,
Thanks. alicedj.
Pro has the sense of "for" more than "to".
Stumble It!
