Translate English into Latin

How would you say "Come here!" In latin? Just "Veni hic" ?

Also, "Let him say this, if he wishes"
I believe the first part would just be "(Is) hoc dicat, si...
But I'm not sure what tense "wishes" should be in.

@wildflower92490,

Use huc rather than hic.
huc --> here, to this place
hic --> here, at this place

@George,

Ah, thank you. I hadn't used "huc" before.

@wildflower92490,

I'd use the present tense.

Hi,
I'm a new member, please help me to translate these two sayings
Prepare ahead of time
and
I catch you now, time
into Latin.
Thank you very much.
PS: I figured out myself "Para mox" for "Prepare ahead of time" but really have no idea if it's correct. Please help.

Hi George,
I am reading something which says that in Rome, a man could not be killed without a trial because it ignored the man's "provocatio." What does that mean?

Thanks Smile

@Bansri,

During the Roman Republic magistrate held a power called coercitio. By this
power he could compel a citizen to obey his decrees. If the citizen refused,
the magistrate could impose punishment. As a balance to this, the citizen had
the right of provocatio. If he exercised this right by declaring "provoco ad
populum", then a tribune would intervene. The magistration could not carry
out the punishment (including capital punishment) until the tribune made his
decision.

Ah, that explains why a simple translation didn't make any sense!
Thank you very very much Smile

Hello Mr. George,
Is it correct to translate "Rush" as "Ruunt" in Latin?
Anh how do you say "Quick finish" in Latin?

Yes, ruunt means "they rush".

Quick finish --> perfectio cita

Thank you Mr. George,
I got this from a web
"I refuse to be a victim" = "Nolo ad victimam"
is it correct?
I really like this quote, as I'm kind of struggling a bit with life now.
