Motto translation
Hello,

You seem to have a very nice community over here and I was wondering if anyone could help translate a simple (I guess) English phrase into Latin. I'm looking for the shortest form of:

The most powerful way to tell the truth

Unfortunately, all my Latin knowledge ended about the same time with "Stabat mater" and "una hirunda non facit ver" Smile.

Thanks a lot for your time,
Andrei

MCMXLVII annus meminisse, lucrifacimus libertas licentiamque

I'm not totally certain if an infinitive is the correct way to say "to remember" in this context. Corrections welcomed. If none are offered, I'll assume it's right.

I took four years of Latin in high school and some courses in college as
well. I hadn't used it in many, many years until I happened upon someone
looking for a Latin translation here. I thought I had a pretty good idea
how it should go, then searched around on line for dictionaries and
grammar sites. I made some corrections and posted the response. I've
been doing that ever since.

I'd agree with the infinitive, but I think you meant "libertatem" instead of
"libertas".

That's Materazzi's birthdate in Roman numerals - what Francis said, but lion here is Latin for the zodiac sign "leo".

Neither do I, but Lyon sounded so ... Lugdunum-unlike :wink:

You're right! I was using the wrong declension endings. I was using 3rd N instead of 3rd M/F.
