Hello all,
I have a sentence which I am having some trouble fully translating.
Sentence: Veritas non metu gravi iam liberabit quo die territi sumus.

I can piece together the sense of the sentence, but not an accurate enough translation.
The "quo die territi" is particularly throwing me off.

Anyone?

@kaibil234,
Perhaps this should actually read:

Veritas nos metu gravi iam liberabit quo diu territi sumus.

If so, the translation is:

The truth will soon free us from the grim dread which we have long feared.

@George,
Oh so "territi" is in the perfect tense? and thanks, btw.

@kaibil234,
Yes, territi sumus is the passive indicative perfect 1st person plural of terreo.

Truth is not terrified by grave fear, we are already the day on which he will deliver .

@selectmytutor,
That makes no sense.
