Which makes more sense?

I am looking for phrases that mean "to talk or discuss the sword or swordsmanship or swordcraft"...

gladius locutus
gladius sermo
gladius loquacis
gladius fama

something else?

Could you (attempt to) correct the spelling and grammar of the above phrases and give me an English translation?

Lastly, I composed a phrase, liberalis proeliator. Does that have any meaning, or is it non-sensical?

In advance... Maximas gratias tibi ago!

You're welcome, Africanus.

About the line:
pugnauere pares, subcubuere pares.

I'm not familiar (or perhaps I've just forgotten) the forms of the words pugnauere and subcubuere.

Regarding the phrase Sword and Truth which George so graciously confirmed can be translated as Gladius et Veritas. Americans today might say instead The Sword and Truth or The Sword and The Truth. Is there a Latin word for the? Would the Romand have said The Sword and The Truth rather than just Sword and Truth? Am I making any sense, or just babbling? Very Happy

Latin has no equivalent to "the" (or "a" for that matter),
so the Roman would have said "sword and truth".

I'd like a translation into Latin for an art project I'm doing.

The text is:

"No-one speaks my f**king language" (Sorry about the swears)

If you find it difficult to provide anything approaching a literal
translation for the swearing then a translation with an
angry/irritated tone would be just as good!

Nemo lingua mea futuente loquitur.
Quote:


Thanks for this George. I've got a further question though. I've gained another translation of this phrase which reads as follows:

Nemo loquitur meam linguam damnatam.

What's the difference between the two translations? Not to question your translation of course but it would be interesting to find out which one will suit my purpose better. Thanks.

this what you translated means:

because of his sins everyone is going to damn/ will damn

note that future active participle expresses subject of action not object, because it's active participle

change it to "damnandus"

I came across this forum trying to figure out how to translate something into latin, noticing that the translating sites dont really do a very good job at it. So I was hoping one of you might be able to translate this into latin for me:

Grand Legion of the Light

Hi if anyone here has the time, I am trying to get make a Christmas present for some electrical engineers. I decided pocket knives with a latin inscription would be nice.

which translates better

Men who make power or Men that make power

or even "Those who make power"

Thank you for taking the time to look at his post I would really like to give them something special and dont want to mangle the Latin Smile

If anyone has the time...
I was wondering if would be possible to translate the phrases below into Latin -

"All shall/will fall toward a bleeding sun."
-or-
"All shall/will fall towards bleeding suns"

-and-

"Everything is now nothing."

Before you ask why, I will tell. It is for a story I am writing and Latin seems a better choice for the phrase than any other language . I would mangle the translation. Thanks in advance for reading this.
