Could someone please Translate and provide the correct latin pronunciation of the maxim

@Khuz360,

Nihil verum, omnia licita

I'm the wrong guy to ask about pronunciation. I use the "ecclesiastical"
pronunciation. You probably want the "classical".

I would say:
NEE-keel VAY-room, OM-nee-ah LEE-chee-tah

@Khuz360,

"Classical" refers to Latin used in Ancient Rome.
"Ecclesiastical" refers to the Latin used in the church up to modern times.

Hi George,

I've been searching all over for a reasonable translation to the English phrase food for thought. I was also looking to aim it more toward the food idea, as I was trying to think of a motto for a food 'blog'. I cam up with the following ideas (the bottom one was suggested by someone else) that are probably all grammatical horrors. I liked the idea of ruminanda/um, as ruminate means to think about as well as to chew over (a beautiful double meaning). Do you have any suggestions?

victu ad ruminandum
victu cogitatio
daps cogitatio
Daps pro ruminandum
cibum ruminandum
materia ruminanda

Regards,
Jonathan

@Cloth Ears,

I like the first, but I'd use cibus for food.
cibus ad ruminandum

@George,

Thanks, George. This Latin is a bit of a mind twister sometimes. You get words that look completely different, but which mean similar. Yat there's other words, I think it's cibu and cibus - but one means for farm animals and the other for people.

Much appreciated.

Jonathan

P.S. 'Cloth Ears' is my be all/end all nom de plume for forums. As you may have guessed, my first forum was an 'audio' one:) - and it just seemed easier to keep on using it.

I'm a bit confused here. Cibus means food for both man and
beast. See definition below.
I'm not familiar with cibu. Can you tell me where you found this?

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me translate these phrases into Latin. Thank you.

"All was well."
"Misunderstanding all you see."
"Nothing's gonna change my world."

I do need help fast; it is for my daughter who needs help with her project for college. Would be forever grateful if someone could get back. Thank you -

@George,

What does surgam mean ?? Does that mean the same as what I want ?

@Tomgirl,

Surgam means "I will rise".
It is the 1st person sinular future tense of surgo.
The definition of surgo is: to rise, stand up, get up.
