Translate English into Latin

Hi all,

I'm writing a short story and need a little latin motto that basically will translate to "Before the original sin" or perhaps "The real first temptation" I tried some of the online resources but couldn't get quite what I was after so any help would be most appreciated

Thanks

Translating English phrases into Latin
Something perhaps all of us wish we could do- (as George most ably demonstrates)- though not a task for the faint hearted, but for serious, intelligent, well-educated scholars, who normally expect to be paid for this service.
Perhaps we should have learned Latin at school, along with music and history (boring!)- most certainly it's not easy like French or Spanish.
A working knowledge would be essential for careers in Law, Medicine etc. even if learned 'Parrot fashion'. Then there is History, Archaeology, and Religion- it's useful even when researching your family tree.
Whichever brand of English happens to be your native tongue- (my keyboard is UK)- if you can read/write and communicate well, having learned the basic parts of speech, phrases, paragraphs, and sentences, passed all your exams, got a degree of some sort- then do not despair, for help is at hand. I recently bought a book called 'Amo, Amas, Amat.. and all that' by Harry Mount (that's not a plug- but a Christmas present to myself) which is helping to clear the fog- but I emphasise- no way am I ready to do your translations- yet.
All I hope for- is to write a memorable Epitaph, so my dear wife can have it suitably engraved on that 'soon-to-be-erected' Headstone (I am 75). It might also help with my understanding of Roman history (there's a lot of it about in England) and all those still-remembered Nursery Rhymes (which sound much better in Latin prose) that she has promised to sew out on her Janome- when I'm gone. As for the Dead Sea scrolls- these might have to wait!

Hiya all,
Can someone translate "Reader" into latin for me, please?
Thanks a lot, it's much appreciated

ante peccatum originale

hi
we are pitching the camp

Re: hi

In Latin "to pitch camp" is "castra ponere"

"castra" is neuter plural of "castrum." The plural is always used
when "camp" is meant.

"pitch" is "ponere" (pono, ponere, posui, positum).
The present progressive is rendered simply by the present in Latin.
Therefore you want the present, first person plural.

pono ponimus
ponis ponitis
ponit ponunt

I think you can take it from here.

help please
hi guys,
a lil help would be appreciated
i would like to translate the words 'Live - Love - Life'

been looking around an have found multiple answers, any help appreciated

I cant help with that one sorry

Re: help please

Some questions:
Is "live" meant to be a command?
Is "love" a noun or a verb?
If a verb, is it a command?
If "live" and "love" are verbs, is "life" their direct object?
The forms of words in Latin depend upon their use, far more so than in English.

Can someone translate "why am i so afraid? will my heart truly fall apart?" into latin for me.

Thanks
