I am sure you guys are sick of getting these first-time posts asking for translations, but here's one more, lol!
Anyway, in case you missed it on the title, I'm hoping someone can translate this phrase into Latin for me:
"Death to Serpents "
(as in, "I wish death upon serpents")
Many thanks for your kind assistance - I hope to become a regular (if a bit infrequent) poster here, as I would love to use more Latin in all that I do.
By the way, my wife is fluent in Tagalog (as well as English) in case that is a help to anyone.
thank you Raphillon!
Would "Letum Serpentis" be correct as well?

You are welcome.
Yes it could.
"Mors" is simply death
"Letum" is like ruin, annihilation, a little stronger then simply death
Your choice depends on how much you hate serpents :wink:
It's for a bit of video game work I'm doing, I know it's a bit silly.
Thanks again for your help!
should it not be: mors sepentibus
Yes, literally, but latins usually like the singular when they want to point a category, especially for shot sentences.... Well, almost classical latins did, I'm not sure about late empire and medieval latin, anyway
Stumble It!
