Re: English to Latin Tattoo Phrase
Peter Malcolm wrote:I need the phrase "Wherever the Journey leads, may the path home forever shine" translated into latin for a tattoo. I used an online pay service and they translated it as such: "Quolibet ducit iter, possit domum iter lucere semper." I've asked around a bit, and some people have suggested using "Quocumque" or "Ubicumque" instead of "Quolibet". If you have some advice, please help...i don't want latin gibberish tattooed on my chest for the rest of my life. Thanks so much!!!!
I would definitely go with "Quocumque."
quocumque = whithersoever (implies motion)
ubicumque = wherever (no motion implied)
quodlibet = whithersover you please
You are wise to run this by several people before committing to a tattoo.
