Please translate "Man knows therefore Man is." - 'knows' as in knows reality and 'is' as in exists. Thank you Bill ben
theis sounds very much like the phrase 'i think therefore i am' rene descartes.
translation of this is 'Cogito, ergo sum.'
sorry i can't help with a literal transation. maybe this will help?
english phrase to latin clarification
I guess I should have been more specific. "Mankind knows therefore Mankind exists". I believe the Latin should be something like "Homo cognitio ergo homo sum" ? thank you Bill ben

What you have just written translates into English as "Mankind recognizes therefore I am mankind."
Sum=I am.
Est=he/she/it is.
Stumble It!
