"What will survive of us is love"
Id quod ex nobis superstabunt amor est


Change superstabunt to superstabit.

I'll also note that superstare=survive is an Ecclesiastical usage. A Roman would use superesse or, more likely superstes esse. These are construed (usually) with the dative, leaving us with

id quod nobis superstes erit amor est

Thanks, q. I can't believe I blew the verb number!
Good info on "survive" also.

Honestly, I can't believe I haven't done anything like that yet in my posts.

I'm sure it's coming, so watch out!

Hi,

am a total newbie here and this seems to be the friendliest and most helpful thread I think I've found anywhere on the web :-) so would very much appreciate it if you could tell me the best translation (wanting to use it on a tattoo) of "heart and soul of a lion" - I know heart of a lion is "cor leonis" but I wanted a bit more....

thanks very much in advance

I'd say:
cor animaque leonis

PLEASE have someone else review this before committing to a tattoo.
I'm just a guy who does this for fun, not a professional Latin scholar.

I would say "protegi natum nostrum."

If it's for a tattoo or anything important/unchangeable, please have someone check it.

US Navy LATIN TRANSLATION
The Captain of one of our submarines would like to post a note to his officers in Latin. If it were in English it would read: "Don't f&^% it up!" Does anyone know how to translate that to Latin? Many thanks. USN

You know one day I'm going to take a Latin class just for fun I think it would be incredibly fun and entertaining.

Anyway, I need a little help with a little phrase. The phrase is:

From the power deep within me I summon a weapon to fight my enemy.

Hey guys...im thinking of getting these words as a tattoo in latin
so i need them translated pretty accurately Smile

"What will survive of us is love" thanks for ur help. Steve.

Here's how I would translated that:
Id quod ex nobis superstabunt amor est

Now, bear in mind that I am not a professional Latin scholar. I just do this
for fun. Have someone else review this befor getting a tattoo. I hear they
don't erase too easily.


To all you nutcases who like to stain your skin with what you hope is artwork....

I read in the paper yesterday that there is now a tattoo process which is indelible and long-lasting (permanent) but also is removable by a laser treatment

(if and when you come to your senses, or get some maturity from somewhere)

The ink capsules are held in micro-pellets in the skin and can only be degraded by laser, after which the ink disperses and the tattoo vanishes, pretty much.

It's been half my lifetime ago since I used Latin regularly.

I am still able to figure out syntax (for the most part) but vocabulary has me at a loss... I have been trying to get this one myself, but I just can't get it right

"Those who can not think for themselves must copy (imitate) those who can."


In the same respect, I am also considering

"Your imitation is not flattering"



Thanks in advance. And any recommendations for a truly good vocab site would be appreciated... as I said, I can usually figure out the correct conjugation/declension etc, but finding the right word is a great challenge for me!

I believe you mean "protege" for the imperative.
I'd use "filium" rather than "natum" for son. It's the more common usage.

So:
Protege filium nostrum.

a statue i am making..
Hello!

Im an artist making a special statue.. It needs a latin inscription - and in fact Ive made a machine that can rotate the inscription (like James Bonds Number plate...) So i can have a few..!

As the work is a wry take on public art, Ive got a few things Id love translated in to Latin.. Can anyone help? Id be very grateful...

Here they are:

He's not the Messiah, hes a very naughty boy!
Its a long way to the top, if you want to rock and roll.
Its a bit nippy up here.
Greyworld, playing in the city.

Thanks in advance!

Noli id futuere
Is a fairly literal translation, but in Latin it implies you are commanding
someone to avoid having intercourse with something.
