Translate "I will"
How would one write "I will" in Latin? Used as a mantra/motivational phrase...as in I WILL achieve, or I WILL succeed. Is it possible to write it by itself?

Thanks

Yup, that's what makes Latin so irresistible: its succinctness. "The" isn't expressed separately; it's contained in the noun (implied). The ending "-arum" expresses the "of" idea (that's called Genitive Plural), and the "fer" part expresses wildness (as in English "feral," "ferocious," and such).

Good question.

As an expression of the future, no.
"Will" is expressed by using the future form of the verb.

I would suggest faciam, meaning I will do (or make).

There is a famous Latin motivational saying:

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
I shall find a way or make one.

English into Latin Help
Question Hello! I'm so excited to find this site... I'm about 20 years away from my last Latin class in high school... sadly what little I once knew has been pushed out by things like life, work, dead brain cells, and trivia!

What I'd like to translate is our potential family motto:

"The family that kills zombies together stays together."

It's a long story... *grin* Suffice it to say we are big "house of the dead" fans around my house.

TIA,
Maria

Zombies and Romans...
I'd *gladly* accept a substitution for zombies... preferably nothing that sounds too "cadaverous" (pardon the almost-pun)... we'd like to make the crest look and sound somewhat (dare I say) normal?

Thanks,
Maria

"The family that kills zombies together stays together."
Domus qui zombienses ad unum interficit, ad unum manet.

The term zombienses is made up
(although there is a species of flower named impatiens zombiensis).

I had originally thought to use cadaveres viventes (living corpses),
but then I saw your request.

George...

Zombienses is clever and cadaveres viventes sounds wonderful!!! Decisions decisions decisions!

Thank you for helping my family.

A *big cadaveres viventes grin* from us all!

Interesting question.

"That which nourishes me, destroys me"
is the English translation of the Latin
Quod me nutrit me destruit,
a sentence tattooed on the tummy of Angelina Jolie.

Newbie here.....
I am so new to this and am wondering if anyone could help translate for an inscription on a wedding ring:

"Not even death can separate us"

or

"Not even death will separate us"

or

"Even death shall not separate us"

Thanks so much for any help!
