Hi there, I am looking to engrave "yours always" , on a glass for my boyfriend's birthday. Thus far I have discovered a few options: "semper tua", and "semper tua sum" are most popular (I am female so "tua" is what fits I think). I assumed that the problem with "semper tua" is that it doesn't really specify what exactly is "always yours", whereas "semper tua sum" explicitly states "I am yours always/forever". This fits with the extended English translation ("I am yours always"). However although I am a language student I know absolutely no latin and so this is all guesswork, therefore any help is awesome. Cheers!

@C133,
Have you tried the online providers for translation? Does Latin appeal to you because it seems timeless?... I think it all about the processed message

@Germlat,
Yeah I tried them, which gave me the two options I have so far :/ and yes exactly Latin does seem timeless and classy, besides the fact that I am also a Classical Studies nerd and especially adore the Roman period

I believe that semper tua translates "yours always" very well. Just as
"always yours" does not explicitly state "I am always yours", so semper
tua does not explicitly state semper tua sum. If you would use "always
yours" in English, then use semper tua in Latin.

@George,
I was expecting you to show up! Awesome, thanks very much. Also kudos on the Jack Skellington picture (I assume?)
