Translate English into Latin

Thanks so much George. I really appreciate the translation.

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!

"Your imitation is not flattering"

The Perseus Project at Tufts University has a Latin-English online
dictionary. For English to Latin they have a cross reference tool that
searches for English words in the the definitions.

Thank you ever so much for the information, and for the translations!

Out of curiosity, for my future reference, what would be the deciding factor to use putare as opposed to cogitare? I like aemulari, I was finding cohaereunt, but it doesn't quite mean the same, does it? Great choice!

Thanks again!

Having looked up both in my dictionary (hard copy, a Cassell's), I chose
putare because it had more of a sense of directed thought rather than
just turning something over in one's mind.
puto -- consider, hold, believe, think
cogito -- turn over in the mind, think, reflect, consider

Hello

how would you translate : Come With Me To A Place Of No Return
and within darkness i love you

thank you x

I keep asking this question so if I post in every section perhaps someone will be able to help. Could some kind person please translate the phrase "Noone's going to take me alive!" into latin. Thankyou in advance.

Veni (or "Venite" if a plural addressee) Mecum Ad Locum Sine Reditu

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!

Is there a chance I could get help translating a couple of phrases from English to Latin??

1) In thee my soul shall own combined the sister and the friend.
2) Sweet is the voice of a sister.
3) A sister reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
4) The greatest thing you'll ever know is to love & be loved in return.

I would appreciate any help you can offer!

Thanks so much George...you're Awesome!!!

PS - could I take advantage of your knowledge one more time?! I have just two more phrases.

A sister's love will never die.

She takes my hand and leads me along paths I would not
have dared explore alone.

'Every man, architect of his own fate'

thanx
