Translation from English into Latin

Re: Translation from English into Latin

How do you distinguish "searching" and "seeking"?

English into Latin
Hi. George,

the lines between seeking and searching are pretty blurred, but I would feel that "seeking" is perhaps more an activity of the mind, while "searching" is likely to be a physical activity.
However, there is probably only one appropriate Latin definition for both, I expect.

Given that distinction, I would use "quaerere" for "seek" and "explorare"
for "search".

Forever Seeking
Sempiternum Quaerens

Forever Searching
Sempiternum Explorans

Always Seeking
Semper Quaerens

Always Searching
Semper Explorans

Perpetually Seeking
Perpetuo Quaerens

Endlessly Searching
Sine Fine Explorans
