I used to be in the British Territorial Army, so very used to mud and rain and grime and my SA80 jamming ... oh the memories ...
operor translates to I work, I labor or I am busy at
did your friend use a translator ... nos operor is in humus is syntatically incorrect.
we could use operor if you liked but it would look something like this
operamur in humo
I don't want to give you a lesson (so ignore this if you want) but ...
1. latin rarely uses I, he, she, it, we, you etc. its implied in the verb (so operor=I work, operamur=we work).
2. humus is the subject (the doing thing), whilst humo is the ablative (the thing somthing is done in or with) - latin isn't like english where the position of a word dictates its meaning, in latin its the how the word ends (ie. humus / humo).

Africanus,
SA80 jamming, M16 jamming; different armies, same problems
Thanks for the information,
I think I will have them stick to facimus in luto, since that is closer to we do it in the dirt.
Thanks for the translation and all the knowledge

Please, Translate An English Phrase to Latin
It is tough to find an online translation tool that reverse translates for accuracy, so I figured I would ask the masters, here! Your help is greatly appreciated. I would like to translate the following phrase to Latin:
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Might it also be within your abilities to provide a literal reverse translation, since I know the phrase would likely have to be reworded for translation.
Thanks again!!

Hi all, sorry to just barge right in, but I'm trying to get something translated for a tattoo I'm going to have, as a sort of honour thing for my little sister, she has a complete bum of a boyfriend and I want to tell her I will be there for her, always.
Id like it in Latin so obviously it would be 'our' thing and leave her bum of a man completely in the dark.
Anyway what I'm after is something simple like "Brother, Sister, Forever"
Or "Sister I'll always be there", " Brother and sister for eternity" Something like that? I know you will be much better at language than me so if you have any ideas I would really appreciate it.
Thankyou
Paul

A quick phrase...
I was plucked out of my Latin class when my teacher resigned. The new one makes even common language seem soporific.
I was wondering how to translate,
'No one dies without blame'?

Hello everyone,
i was asked to come up with a latin motto for my division, and coming up with it in english seems easy enough, but I could do with some help in the latin realm.
Could someone please translate: Service through Study
Thanks for any help in advance.

Can anyone translate this into Latin for me:

Thanks, it's a long time since I did Latin at school (ecce Romani!).

Hi all its me again, still on the quest to find something inspiring for my sister, I have had another couple of ideas, I am wondering if you could just translate them please.
"We are brother and sister forever"
"Sister - I'll Protect you always"
"Brother, Sister, Compassion"
"Loyalty to my sister, Always/Forever"
"Brother, Sister, Devotion"
