Tattoo Ideas: Latin Words + Phrases
90
It's no secret that Angelina Jolie is fond of tattoos; everyone is familiar with the "Billy Bob" tattoo she got in honor of her now ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton, then later had covered up. And publicity shots of soccer great David Beckham frequently show his bare back, revealing the names of his sons tattooed in thick black ink. But did you know that these celebrities also have Latin tattoos as well? Angelina's is on her lower stomach (next to a thick black cross that covers up a small blue dragon she got while drunk in Amsterdam) and says, "Quod me netrit me destruit" meaning, "What nourishes me also destroys me." David Beckham's Latin phrase is on his left inner forearm, just below his wife Victoria's name which is misspelled in a Hindi script. The phrase reads, "Ut Amem Et Foveam" meaning "So that I love and cherish."
Although it is now extinct, Latin was once the universal language spoken in Europe as early as the 1st century B.C., and it is a language that we can all relate to as many modern day words are derived from Latin. Today, unless you are attending mass at the Vatican in Rome or in Florida with my grandmother (who still says her prayers in Latin, as she was taught to do in the 1930's) Latin phrases are primarily used among doctors (primum non nocere, which means "first, do no harm") and lawyers (habeas corpus). In fact, many people still use Latin today without even realizing it. Bona fide is Latin for "good faith", ad hoc means "for this purpose" and quid pro quo means "something for something", which is used in modern day banter to mean "tit for tat."
Luckily, unlike the Hebrew and Arabic words and phrases tattoos I discussed previously, Latin phrases are fairly easy to translate for the sake of tattooing. Wikipedia offers an extensive list of Latin phrases, many of which make for beautiful and inspirational tattoos. Yuni.com also features a long list of common Latin phrases.
As with any tattoo that is done in a foreign language not your own, make sure you do your homework. Double check your translation with several sources. Unfortunately, as the Latin language is extinct, you won't be able to find a native speaker. Instead, ensure your translation is correct by either using several online translators or confirming it's accuracy with a Latin scholar.
Here are some Latin phrases to get you started:
non ducor duco -- I am not led; I lead
semper ad meliora -- always towards better things
sic itur ad astra -- thus you shall go to the stars
temet nosce -- know thyself
veni, vidi, vici -- I came, I saw, I conquered
verba volant, scripta manent -- words fly away, writings remain
veritas lux mea -- truth is my light
vincit qui se vincit -- he conquers who conquers himself
vive ut vivas -- live so that you may live
alis grave nil -- nothing is heavy to those who have wings
alis volat propris -- she flies with her own wings
audax at fidelis -- bold but faithful
carpe noctem -- seize the night
cogito ergo sum -- I think therefore I am
credo quia absurdum est -- I believe it because it is absurd
dum vita est, spes est -- while there is life, there is hope
esse quam videri -- to be, rather than to seem
luceat lux vestra -- let your light shine
luctor et emergo -- I struggle and emerge
non ducor duco -- I am not led; I lead
semper ad meliora -- always towards better things
sic itur ad astra -- thus you shall go to the stars
temet nosce -- know thyself
veni, vidi, vici -- I came, I saw, I conquered
verba volant, scripta manent -- words fly away, writings remain
veritas lux mea -- truth is my light
vincit qui se vincit -- he conquers who conquers himself
vive ut vivas -- live so that you may live

Could someone help me with the translation for 'You'll never Walk Alone' ?
Cheers
Here's some translations from previous posts, per request:
"what doesnt kill me makes me stronger" = quis doesnt iuguolo mihi planto mihi validus
"Wake You Dreams or Fear not, nor be Afraid" = Excito Vos Somnium vel Vereor non , neque nec timeo
"Now, I become Death, the destroyer of worlds." = Iam, Fio Nex , pessum ire of universitas.
"do everything in love" = operor panton in diligo
"know thyself" & "be thyself" = teneo vestri ego & exsisto vestri
"You will never Walk Alone" = Vos mos nunquam Ingredior Unus
Please remember, sometimes there are several different ways to say the same thing in Latin. However, there are some "preferred" or more familiar ways of saying things.
I do hope that the translations above are helpful to the requesters.

could someone please tell me the latin translation for "my son my life"
Just FYI, all the Latin Translations on this page have seemingly been performed by people who have no insight into the actual usage of the latin language, much less any romantic language for that matter. The grammar is backwards, and some of the words make no sense at all.
Please don't just go out and get these words and phrases tattooed on your body because someone on an unmoderated forum told you it was the proper translation.
I came to this site by googling "(+x$)Nex Iuguolo", and I followed this statement from google:
"What doesnt kill me makes me stronger is 'Quis doesnt iuguolo me,makes mihi validus' :) xxxx"
Please realize initially, that "doesnt", and "makes" are not at all from the Latin Language; then please use discretion when using the internet ((eye roll)).

hi guys... i dont speak latin but i have done loads a research on the internet... some of the above quates people have given differant ways to say them... they are all correct it just whether you want knew latin or american latin or italian latin or roman latin etc etc.... decide what style of latin u would want then look it up on google translator thats a good site xx
Is there any way i can find out what font the tattoo meaning "There is more to life than just being alive" is in?
Thanks :)
Just live your life. You don't need a stupid latin tatoo to define yourself.
tom... live and let live, if someone makes the personal choice of getting a tattoo good on them, if you dont want a tattoo, simple, dont get one.
this weekend i will be getting (on the inside of my left bicep) "Quod tibi fieri non vis, alteri ne feceris" which means "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" - we all lose ourselves from time to time, so i find this tattoo quite meaningful as its a constant reminder that no matter what others should be treated with respect. we are all fighting our own battles throughout life.
Some other forms of this rule stretching back to ancient times:
"Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.”Udana-Varga, 5:18 (African)
“Wish not for others what ye wish not for yourselves”Kitab-I-Aqdas (African)
“In five ways should a clansman minister to his friends and familiars, by treating them as he treats himself.”Sigalovada Sutta v.31 (Buddhist)
“Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no resentment against you, either in the family or in the state.”Analects 12:2 (Confucian)
"One word which sums up the basis for all good conduct…loving kindness. Do not do unto others what you would not want done to yourself.”Analects of Confucius 15:23
"We should behave to friends as we would wish friends to behave to us.”Aristotle (Ancient Greek philosophy)
"Do not do to others that which would anger you if others did it to you.”Socrates (Ancient Greek philosophy)
"One should not behave towards others in a way which is disagreeable to oneself. This is the essence of morality. All other activities are due to selfish desire."Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva 113.8 (Hinduism)
“Not one of you truly believes until you wish for others that which you wish for yourself.”The Prophet Mohammed Hadith (Islam)
“A Man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated.”Agamas Sutrakritanga 1.11.33 (Jainism)(These guys were REALLY serious about this rule)
“All things are our relatives; what we do to everything, we do to ourselves. All is really one.”Black Elk (Native American)
“The heart of the person before you is a mirror. See there your own form.”(Shinto)
So yeah, it's a good rule to live by. It must be an effective and meaningful one for it to have been independently concluded in so many places and times, by both religious and non-religious thinkers. I try to live by it myself.

hi does anyone know how to say and write: "if you dont stand for anything youll far for everything is in latin"
Hello All!
It sounds like you are in need of a Latin teacher! I've been considering getting a Latin tattoo myself lately.
I don't know if anyone checks this thing on a regular basis, but for the last three people who posted, I thought I would help you out. If there is anyone else who has posted previously and is still looking for a translation leave a new post and I will help you out as well.
Abi: What I have in my heart I will take to my grave = "Quod habeo in corde meo adimam ad sepulcrum meum".
Please note there are multiple vocabulary words for terms like "heart" and "grave" so if the words presented don't strike your fancy I can provide synonyms.
Linda: dream, fight, survive = "sominum, pugna, vivere" and if you prefer I dream, I fight, I survive = "somnio, pugno, vivo"
Carol: Did you mean "If you (singular) don't stand for anything you (singular) will fall for everything"? If that is the case then the Latin would be: "Si non stas cui accides quibusque"
One thing you need to know about Latin that makes it very different from English is that Latin is a highly inflected language, meaning word order does not matter. If you don't like the look of the way words are arranged you can always switch them up. For example:Puella iacit pupam, pupam habet puella, habet pupam puella, puella pupam habet, etc. all mean the same thing (The girl has a doll).
Quick correction to my last post
dream = somnium
not sominum. Dona mihi veniam! (Forgive me!!! Literally it means "Give forgiveness to me!")
Hello,
Can anyone help me translate 'I have spread my dreams under your feet' in latin please?
Thank you so much!!
Does anyone know a translation for "I ask your forgiveness for my lack of faithfulness in asking your forgiveness"? I suppose there is a chance that this doesn't even translate at all...can anyone help me find out? Thanks.
why dont you guys just get those sentances translated in english???
Hello again lovelies,
Jenny: I have spread my dreams under your feet = "Dilatavi mea somnia sub tuis pedibus" ( What a beautiful expression)
cellard00r: "Rogo tuam veniam ergo mea penuria veniae rogans tuae veniae" (I hope this wasn't for your Latin homework! The literal translation of the Latin is "I ask your forgiveness on account of my lack of faith asking for your forgiveness" )
faith guides me: fides me ducet
everything happens for a reason: omnia causa fiunt
hi could someone please translate this for me into latin:
"Strength conquers adversity"
Thanks
Hi, can anyone translate the following
'nothing will seperate us' into latin for me....
thanks.... its for me my brother and my sister
Hello, hello
Kevster: Strength conquers adversity - "Vis vincit adversum".
Gavin: Nothing will separate us - "Nihil abscidet nos"
On the above tattoo that reads 'To the stars through adversity', it says adversity is 'aspera'. However, in Magistra's last post she has adversity as 'adversum'. Which would be the correct one for adversity? What would be the correct lation translation for 'To the stars through adversity'?
I was just wondering with the latin for "Know Thyself" whether "Temet Nosce" or "Nocse te ipsum" is correct?? and what exactly the difference between the two of them is?
Thanks.
I am looking at getting a tattoo in latin on the back of my neck to say love is the essence of life. I am having trouble finding an image of how i want it. i want it going down the back of my neck not too big, what font would i use. i like the tattoo on the page above which says time waits for no one, and wanted the style like that but with the writing going down? any suggestions?
Does anyone know how to translate, " Move Forward, the past will only darken you"
Hey Magistra ,
Would you be able to translate 'as i am you understand' for me please?
cheers
Dizzy: Much like any other language, Latin is very colorful with many ways of saying the same thing. "Aspera" means a rough going or difficulty whereas "adversum" is more of an opposition or having something actively push against you. Either word could easily mean adversity, it just depends on which word/mean you prefer. The translation of To the Stars Through Adversity I've most commonly seen is the one above of "Ad Astra per Aspera". Again, if you do not like the word for stars (astra), there are multiple alternatives and even names for stars that might have special meaning to you, like the North Star.
Alex: Know Thyself is "Nosce Te Ipsum" . The Greek would be "ΓοΩΘΙ ΣΑΥΤΟο" (it is pronounced ga-no-thay sow-ton). I have no idea who came up with "temet nosce". "Temetum" is a type of wine and "temero" means I dishonor, but "Temet" on its own is a nonsense word. Mini history lesson: Know Thyself was carved over the enterance to the Oracle at Delphi. It meant that to truly understand what the Oracle would tell you, you needed to first undertand who you are and why you were there.
Joanne: Love is the essence of life - "Amor est substantia vitae"
Ryan K: Move forward, the past will only darken you - "Promove, vetustas occaecabis solum". In this case "occaecabis" means "will darken you" in the sense that it will cover, obscure, or veil you. If you meant darken in the sense that the past will defile or dishonor you then the sentence will read: "Promove, vetustas temerabis solum".
Abbey: As I am you understand - "Qualiter sum scis".

Thankyou
Some of these tattoos are great others are not so good, I know the old english/gothic script is very popular at this time for tattoos but you can't get a latin tattoo in old english/gothic script because it wasn't invented until hundreds of years after Rome fell. So if its gonna be latin at least make sure its historically accurate.

FYI for all you looking to get a latin tat... or find a english phrase to put into latin i got news, CANT DO IT.. why? because latin doesn't translate exactly into english or any language it is the ROOT of all language and is extremely basic. my advice is to find a college professer to help but even than.. its never going to be exactly correct. unless you look something like carpe diem.
the most badass quote that i can think of, that should be in latin is
Only God Will Judge
could anyone help
could anyone translate "he only takes the best" in latin?
Hi,was wondering if i could have "those who procrastinate choose last" translated into latin please? Suvo
translating things into latin is tricky, i've taken latin and i cant translate half the things people have asked for. Just go find a book on learning latin and you'll understand more about your saying. be careful with the translations though, get multipal people who know latin to check it, not all translations are nessisarily acuret, and it depends if your doing literal translation or just for meaning. JUST LEARN LATIN! its easier than one may think.

live what you preach! WHY GET A LATIN TATTOO IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE LANGUAGE!! DON'T PRETEND AS IF YOUR AN INTELLECTUAL JUST BY HAVING A LATIN TATTOO... PIECE OF ADVISE!!! JUST BE YOURSELF AND DON'T PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE UR NOT... why not get a fuckin' mickey mouse tattoo if you just want to look cool by having a latin tattoo... that would definitely fit you guys!!!
respect the language...
i discovered this page a few days ago (i was looking for something in latin) and i saw that you guys realy need help, badly.. since i speak latin prety well, i decided to help you out. i wrote down all the things people asked for to be translated (from the very beginning) and i 've started translating. so if you're interested, i can translate things for you and i mean for real, not like some who were writing all kinds of things they got translated on the internet..anyway, i'll do my best to translate it right and in the spirit of latin language. if you are interested, just leave a message and i'll see what i can do
oh, and a little note for those who had something translated by magistra (if some of you still check this out)... you can see that she was learning latin at the time, but many of the things she translated were wrong, to be more accurate not completely correct. it is obvious that she didn't learn more complex grammar when you look at the dependent clauses
solum lodus
I am needing to have some things translated but was wondering if instead of posting them on here you could email me?
keegans_mum@msn.com
I would really appreciate it!
i would like a really nice latin tattoo to go down the side of my hand, and following down to my wrist. i dont want nothing to big but i'd like it to have meaning. in other words short but sweet. can u help me out? cheers . .
ohhh i want it in latin writing aswell obviously lol
this cooment is to Solum Lodus
i have been thinking about having a latin tattoo for quite some time now and i have been reasearching the language for a few months and i think it's beautiful. i would really appreaciate it if you could help me out and come up with a few phrases that would look preety. i only want a small tattoo to go on my wrist but i want something that has got alot of meaning to it. thanks
for kelly:
have you tried looking at the comments above? there's a lot of people who wanted something translated and many of those things are really nice.. if nothing fits you maybe you could leave a comment and describe a little better what you'd like to have for a tatto (what meaning should it have.. that would help a lot), you know, just sort of narrow the choice, cause sweet and pretty can mean many defferent things..
Can somebody settle the correct grammar of this for me? I plan to get a tattoo with "Take it all. No fear." in Latin. Is it true that it would translate to "Carpe Omnis. Nullus Metis"? I've looked in several different places and asked a few people, and I've heard slightly different things. I've heard "Carpe Omnia. Sine Metu", also.
solum ludus, do you have a definitive answer on this one grammatically?
it isn't carpe, but cape (carpe means something different, the best translation is with cape), so "Cape omnia. Sine metu."
it literally means "take everything (all). without fear." this is the best translation in the spirit of latin language
Thank you for your help!
What is the specific difference between "carpe" and "cape"? Is it just that one is "take" and one is "seize"?
carpe means seize and cape means take or capture
you're wellcome
to solum ludus
its kelly again. i been thinking i'd like a tatto saying, 'she who loves all, will be loved' i no its not going to be small but it's qiute catchy. wb x
first of all let me say that i think you chose a really nice thing for a tattoo =) and here is the translation:
"Quae omnia amaverit, amata erit." omnia here stands for all as everything (leave a message if you meant strictly people =everyone)
oh, and i suggest that you change the order of the main and relative clause, so:
"Amata erit quae omnia amaverit."
Can anyone tell me if the correct translation of
"Well, you know you make me want to Shout!"
would be
"puteus, vos planto mihi volo ut Clamo"

Someone who can translate "Reincarnation" into latin?
Did the OP have the translation of "she flies be her own wings" correct above? Because I've tried looking it up, and I that translation they have hasn't showed up yet. Also someone had asked earlier how to say "Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back." That is a cool saying, but no one ever gave a translation for it. So could someone answer those two questions?
1) Is the translation correct that the OP has for "she flies by her own wings?" If it isn't the correct translation, then what is?
2) How do you translate: "Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back."
I was wondering what the Latin word for Destryoer is. does anyone know?
Could someone please advise the latin translation for 'Never Forget' and 'Never Forgive'

Hi, I'm looking to find a latin translation for the phrase "too in love to let it go"
Many thanks :-)
i hope some of you looking up these phrases on translators know that they usually translate too literally [word for word] and aren't exactly grammatically correct.

can someone translate "not all who wander are lost" into latin for me. Thanks!
And what is the font on the guys forarm that says "there is more to life than just being alive"
first of all, i'm sorry that i haven't replied this long.. i've been very busy, i had to study, A LOT... i'm going to answer the requests from two weeks ago till now. if any of you who asked for something three weeks ago (or even more) still want it translated, just post a new comment and i'll get to it asap.
FOR KEN PORTICE: i think the best word would be "confector", but you can also use "perditor" / "deletor"
FOR LAURA: "never forget" = "numquam obliviscere", "never forgive" = "numquam veniam da" which literally means "to give forgiveness" (they don't have a verb with such meaning as TO FORGIVE)
FOR DAN: "too (much) in love to let go" = "plus satis amatorius, ut relinquam" this is the best translation i can think of
FOR JESS: "dark" = "tenebrae" / "obscuritas" / "caligo", "lust" = "aviditas" / "cupido/cupiditas"-these two are more of a love desire or lust
FOR ROLAND CHAVEZ: "only God can judge me" = "solum Deus mihi iudicare potest"
FOR SWINDELL: you honestly don't know just how stupid you are.. did it ever occur to you that those automatic translators translate too literally so none of the translations have sense (unless you are trying to translate ONE word)
FOR KELSEY: "more than my own life" = "magis quam mea propria vita"
FOR JD: "beauty will save the world" = "pulchritudo mundum servabit", but if i understood well what you actually wanted to say, maybe it would be better to use "venustas" instead of "pulchritudo"
FOR DARE: "the three of us will love you forever" = "nostri tres te semper amabimus" if you mean singular "you" and if you meant plural just change "te" into "vos", "our love... like no other" = "amor noster... instar nullus alius", "i will love you forever for this night" = "hanc noctem semper te amabo" p.s. it's not sir, i'm a miss :-), and you're welcome of course.. i am sorry for not being able to translate "happy day of lovers". if you are willing to wait for that translation, i will consult my professor about it
and last, but not least... :-)
FOR DELTA: "not all who wander are lost" = "non omnes qui errent perditi sunt"
Hey 'Solu Ludus'

Hi, I was looking for a translation of .....what does not kill you.....blah, blah....... but I ended up reading all the posts...and what is more interesting and important is how many people feel they need to put this on them......because they survived some thing they thought they could'nt.....LIFE,LOVE,DEATH......and found they are stronger for it, they have come out the other side, and like myself want to remind themselves that it always/mostly turns out OK and we do go on, wiser and stronger for it.....that we heal,like a broken bone, that break is now thcker, stronger and will never break in that spot again.....Makes me feel less alone........also all the other requests for translations were so interesting. Because what we choose to Tattoo on ourselves is hopefully so profound, personal, and meaningful......very insightful, and illuminating!
Thanks

hey guys
does anyone know how to translate "fear life, not death" ?
Hello everyone!
So i was a bit bored yesterday, and decided to do some of the latest X-lation requests.
Now i'm not studdying Latin on more than a hobby stage, so these might not be 100% - So don't blame me for trying, t'is freakin' hard laguage :)
Be aware that i use comma's in the latin translations, now this is just something i do as clarification. It is rarely that you see a comma in a latin phrase, except as seperation of listed words e.g; "Veritas, Fides, Sapientia" meaning "Truth, Faith, Wisdom".
Ok, let's start:
@Daniel
"Do what you have to do"
There's a phrase that goes like this: "Age quod agis."
meaning "Do what you are doing." or "Do well whatever you do."
This phrase is used to remind people to concentrate on the task at hand, rather than scattering their attention. Hope that is what you're looking for.
@Jacque
"Truth, Beauty, Strength" and "beautiful strength"
First one would be "Veritas, Venustas, Vis vires" and the latter; "Bellus vires."
@Joel
"The last to die, the first to live forever"
I've come up with two xlations for this quote;
"Permaneo morior, primoris vivo (a)eternus." - "Last to die, first to live eternal." the a is optional, but true latinish :)"Permaneo morior, primoris ad vitam aeternam." - "Last to die, first to everlasting life."
The latter being my favorite, since 'eternal life' here, referes to the biblic 'afterlife'.
@DChild
"All I am I owe to my mother"
I struggled on this, so if anyone has any idea, inlighten me please :)
"Totus ego sum pro debitum ut meus matris." - "All i am, for debt to my mother."
"By myself but not alone"
"Solus sed non solum." - "Alone but not alone."
@Chris
"Till the hour of our deaths its you and me brother"
Again a hard one =) (O'rly? Ya'rly!)
"Donec nostrum mors mortis, stamus unita, frater." - "until our death, we stand united, brother."
@Jessie
"Live your dreams"
"Ago tui somnium" - "Live thine dreams" Or
"Ago tui somnia" - "Live thine dream"
@Flo
"Never look back""Numquam respicio" - "Never to look back"
"Never think twice"
Came up with two phrases here. The first being litterally translated, and the other to give the same deeper meaning as in english."Numquam puto bis" - "Never think twice""Numquam fui duos sententia" - "Never to have two thoughts" ultimately meaning; "Never doubt"
@Kelly
"Warrior Princess"
Its actually quite funny, cuz i just learned that there's no word for 'princess' in latin, but hey, you gotta learn something new everyday, right? :)
Instead i've changes the phrase a bit, hope you like.
"Bellus Militis" - "Beautiful Soldier".
@Adam
"Did it for Love"
Again, simple english phrase = complex latin phrase =)
Couldn't come up with a litteral translation, so here's some other, close meaning phrases.
"Ergo pro amor" - "I am for love""Ego facio pro amor" - "I do for love""Mea facio pro amor" - "my cause for love"
And at last, but not least:
@Nikol
"Fear life, not death"
This was, fortunately, not that hard. But a very nice phrase.
"Vereor vita, non mors mortis" - "Fear life, not death"
Thats all fokes!
Now please don't just go get one of my translations tatoo'ed right away, since i don't have a degree in latin or anything. Consider them more as guidelines.. Get a second eye on it somewhere - if you're lucky, your tatoo artist knows a thing or two about latin since many tend to get latin inscriptions.
Anyways, Carpe Diem!
Sorry for the bad formatting, spelling and uber long post, btw :P
I am a latin major about to graduate. You can send me a mesage with what you want translated and I will try to translate them.

Hey Everyone,
I was hoping someone could help me out with a quote I would like to get in Latin. Not only do I love the language but it reminds me of my father and I am looking to get a quote that has a little representation of everyone in it. The quote is "She lives the poetry she writes others write the poetry they dare not realize". I know it won't be 100% accurate due to the difference between English and Latin but if someone could help I would appreciate it so much. Thank you for your help!
*Looking to get a tattoo that has a little representation of everyone in my family .. sorry that makes more sense now!

I am a John Steinbeck fanatic and I have his famous phrase (which he used to draw and write after his signature on letters,etc) on my shoulder "Ad astra per alia porci" which is "To the stars on the wings of a pig".
Happy translating.
That one that's labeled "Hate the living, love the dead"... that's not what it says. Looks like "contemno victus/diligo silenti etc" Yes, it actually says "etc.", et cetera on the end. Pretty much nonsense, though the words "I hate" and "I love" do occur in it.
I'm pretty familiar with Latin, and i would strongly advise against using Animus' translations in the comments. All of them are way off. Let me add a few more 'y's. Wayyyy, wayyyyy off. Only use them if you don't really care that much what your tattoo says. Maybe you don't. Who knows?

Hi!
Thanks for answer me, I really appreciate your comment.
I'll wait for your answer when you have time!
Very thanks!
Hello again ppl!
I have some time to kill, so allow me to do some simple translations.
I'll start from the bottom this time.
@Rebecca
"Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Friend" -> "Mater, Uxor, Sister?, Filia, Amicus/Comes"
I don't know the word for 'sister' as a sibling, but as in nun it's 'Sanctimonialis'.
I know that it means "She who is sacred", 'Sancti' being the holy or sacred part. so a rational thought would be that 'Monialis' could mean sister - could anyone help me here? =)
"Love will conquer all" -> "Omnia vincit amor" - "Love conquers all"
That was all i had time for this time.. I'll be back at some point.
hey solum ludus,
can you translate "This too shall pass"?
thanks! really appreicate it!

Hi i was just wondering if anyone could help me out with the correct latin translation for Learn from yesterday, Live for today, Hope for tomorrow.... At the moment i have it as perceptum ex yesterday ago pro hodie spero cras... Thanks in advance :)
You all do realize there are legitimate websites out there that give spectacular translations. Websites that are run by people with degrees in the language.
Just adding my two cents.
Hey, i'm struggling to find a couple of Latin translations and was wondering if anyone could help. Firstly me and my friend have been trying to get "Disability is what you make of it" for months but haven't found it anywhere. I am also looking for "Something inside so strong" Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
well, when you find one that doesn't charge $125/hr &/or replies within two months, please let us know. college professors usually just tell you to learn the language yourself or that they don't believe in tattoos. priests are not too keen on translating either. hopefully for most, the internet is a last resort resource for something that's inked permanently on the only body we'll ever have.
seriously, if you know of a credible and efficient and timely one, let me know.

Solum Ludus,
Care to enlighten me with the meaning of your Screen Name?
Also... is the translation for *Always Towards Better Things* *Semper Ad Meliora* ?
Thanks for your help.
xxx
ok i'm going to answer "lacey ashley lynne" because her post is the last.. so my nick means "just a game", and it's "semper ad melioria" NOTICE THE 2ND "I" IN MELIORIA!!! it means "always towards better".. if you really want the translation with the word "things" (always towards better things) let me know (although i personally think this is better), because then this "melioria" will change, now it has to have this "i" because in this sentence it's in neuter gender, but i don't want to bother you with latin grammar.. you're welcome
and for everyone else who still wish their phrases translated please post it again... my school year is at its end (i have two more days only), i did all of my exams so now i'm free to help you and will be glad to do so
would/could someone please translate "please forgive me"
solum ludus: could you translate 'if you believe anything can happen' into latin please?
thanks :)
Solum Ludus, thank you for the time you put in for any translation.
If you would translate this phrase it would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
"May Angels Walk With Me" or "Angels Walk With Me", or something to that nature in proper latin.
Rachel-
All you have to do is go to Google and type in "English to Latin translator."There are numerous amazing translators on there, trust me, I just finished my fifth year of Latin.
Of course, don't trust the first one you come across. Cross-reference and consult others if you must.
I am looking for translations for "Disability is what you make of it" and "Something inside so strong" If anyone could help I would be very grateful. My email address is pig.mad@hotmail.com
Ashely-
i have, trust me. i even bought a dictionary that i can't read. if you're fifth year latin, then could you please help? i've consulted professors, a priest, doctors & botanists all to no avail...
"Alis Volat Propriis" is the correct spelling of that tattoo...i have it on my hip and they definitely have it spelled wrong........that sucks for them
SOLUM LUDUS... Could you please help with the translation for 'Learn from yesterday, Live for today, Hope for tomorrow'. I would really appreciate it
Rachel- Please Forgive Me = commodo indulgeo mihi
RC- There's not an actual word in Latin for can, so the best I can do isIf you believe anything is able to happen = Si vos puto quisquam possum venio
Mat-May Angels Walk With Me = at angelus ingredior me (I'm not 100% sure about the "may" part)Angels Walk With Me = angelus ingredior me
Fiona-Disability is what you make of it- there is no Latin word for disability.Something within so strong- for some reason I couldn't find "inside" so i substituted within and got = quispiam intus sic validus
Lauren- Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow= Perceptum ex hersternus , ago pro hodie , spero crasI'm no expert, and if i were you, I'd have Solum Ludus look this over, to say whether or not these are right. My grammar might be off a bit, I'm a tad rusty. But i figured I'd try to help.
Ashley- thanks so much :)
wow ashley you can't be serious about having finished your FIFTH, i repeat, FIFTH year of latin.. i don't know how to put it nicely so i'll simply say that you're completely ignorant for the language, both its grammar and vocabulary.. and later you say you're no expert and that you're "a tad rusty" - you can't be THIS rusty after having learned the language for five years, plus you say you've JUST finished your fifth year, you know i'm guessing you're lying.. you can't even imagine what kinds of stupid thing you wrote to those people, if you care to know i'll be more than glad to tell you what you exactly said.. and you can't say that these online translators are amazing - they're completely opposite.. those are machines for god's sake!! that's a really poor help with translating, especially since latin is way more complex than english.. so i hope you had your fun, but i ask you not to translate any more sentences and phrases, especially here, because people tattoo that on their skin and later can't get rid of it, so think about it
FOR RACHEL:
"please forgive me" -> "oro te, ut mihi ignoscas"; literally "i plead you that you forgive me", that's the best i can do since this is very tricky, maybe you'll like this one better: "ignosce" (forgive (me) !)
FOR RC:
"if you believe, anything can happen" -> "si credis, omnia fieri potest"; omnia actually means everything, not anything, but keeping the spirit of the latin language in mind, it's better to use everything (omnia)
FOR MAT:
"may angels walk with me" -> "angeli mecum ambulanto"; precisely what you asked for
FOR FIONA:
"disability is what you make of it" -> "impotentia id est quid ex ea facias"; hhh i know that "impotentia" probably sounds funny, and a lot.. because that is the word from which the medical term impotence is derived, but in that time it meant any disability at all.. still if you'll be sort of embarrassed to tattoo it, just tell me and i'll find you another word :))
"something inside so strong" -> "aliquid intus ita forte"
FOR LAUREN:
"learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow" -> "disce ex heri, vive pro hodie, spera pro cras"
i was wondering if someone could translate "the last enemy to be destroyed is death" yes i knw its from harry potter
FOR STEPHANIE:
"inimicus ultimus destruendus mors est".. it literally means "enemy last (/ultimate) that is to be (/should be) destroyed death is". it probably sounds funny, but that's just due to latin syntax rules, so everything's in perfect order
hhh i wouldn't have realized it was from harry potter i you hadn't said it yourself although i like the books.. i have them all but translated into my language, i read some in english and some in latin.. wack, right ? :))
anyway, i have a couple of suggestions for the translation: if you'd like, you can change "destruendus" with "delendus".. they both mean the same, and they were both equally used (the fact that the verbs "to destroy" and "to delete" came from the verbs from which these words are derived speaks for itself) so it really doesn't matter which one you use. and as for the second suggestion, you can use "nex" instead of "mors" (death), mors was actually a lot more used than nex, but when i'm translating something for myself, especially if it's a proverb or something like that i prefer nex, but it's up to you of course
. i was wondering someone could help me. Which of these phrases are closest to " what doesnt kill me, makes me stronger". I have found 3 different forms:
*Quod non me occidit, me certe fortiorem reddit"
*Quod non me necat, fortior me facit"
*Hoc non pereo habebo forior me"
Thanks anyways...!
FOR JAVI:
actually none of these are correct, so this would be the best:
"quid non me necet, me firmat"
you're welcome
solum ludus - thanks! :D
you're welcome
if you need anything else, just say so :))))
solum thanks!!
but is "quid" insted of "quod" ? so what means "necet" and "firmat" ? I found that Nietzsche wrote *Hoc non pereo habebo forior me", so that is wrong?
I thoght the closest meaning was *Quod non me necat, fortior me facit", i searched the meanings in the dictionary, but i guess i was wrong. Thank you for your time. Now i have doubts about getting that tattoo, cause i found all kinds of answers but not "quid non me necet, me firmat".
thanks ...!
FOR JAVI:
"quod"="which one" in neuter gender, "quid"="what"
to tell you the truth, i don't know what this that Nietzsche wrote is supposed to mean, it really doesn't make much sense, that's why i can't give you a translation for the sentence, so i'll translate word by word: "hoc"="this one" in neuter gender, "non"="not", verb "perire" means "to disappear/die/collapse" so the best word to translate it with would be "to perish" (i even think that it came from this latin verb), "pereo" is 1st ps.sg. present - so "i perish", "habebo"="i will have" (i must warn you that the verb "habere" (to have) is always used as "to possess", in latin it is not an auxiliary verb - i don't know whether you live in an english-speaking country, if you do, i'm just saying so that you wouldn't understand it as future perfect tense), "forior" doesn't mean anything at all, "me"="me" - it's accusative case of the personal pronoun "ego"="i"
"qoud non me necat, fortior me facit" isn't all that wrong except for this "qoud", but there is no need for literal translation of "to make stronger", beacuse in latin there is already a verb with that meaning - "firmare"="to strengthen/make stronger".. "firmat" is 3rd ps.sg. present (in indicative mood) - "it strengthens" (in latin there is no need for using pronouns with verbs (just like in my language) because conjugation of a verb is different for every person - in english only 3rs ps.sg. (and only in present) is different, e.g. i/you/we/they work, but he/she/it works), and as for this "necet"... it comes from the verb "necare"="to kill", necet is 3rd ps.sg. present but in subjunctive mood (in indicative mood it would be necat).. since this is a relative clause, the verb in the subordinate clause (in this case: what doesn't kill me) has to be in subjunctive mood, so "necet", not "necat".. this is going to probably sound silly, but if there was a time machine and you somehow get to ancient rome, people would understand what you want to say even if you said this sentence with "necat" instead of "necet", but they would guess you are a stranger and that latin is not your mother tongue. this sort of mistakes were typical for little children who were too little to understand latin syntax rules.. if you'd like to know more about this, it's called "consecutio temporum" (literally "time corresponding") just so that you make sure that i really did give the correct and best possible translation, although i assure you that there is no need for that, i fully stand behind everything i write cause i'm aware that people come here for tattoo ideas, and a tattoo is something you can hardly get rid of.. i mean i know a lot about latin, but of course i can't know all, so whenever i'm translating something if i'm not 100% sure, i always say so and ask the person whether he wants me to consult with my professor.. here there is no need for it, cause i am 100% sure, and i even, if i'm not wrong, already consulted my professor about this one a while ago, cause people often want this one
and you're welcome

hello im in a spot of bother and it seems you are the only man who can help me,im getting a tattoo in 12 hours and need a phrase translated into latin...'through pain comes strength' i would be very greatful if you could help,thank you
haha rachel, that's very nice :))).. you're very much welcome, and if you should ever need anything, just post it here (or e-mail me)
FOR DECKY:
"per dolorem fortitudo venit"
now, this is exactly what you wanted, however i do have a couple suggestions depending on what you really want to say (this what i gave you is very simple) - latin is a very rich language so it enables many things..
first of all instead of venit you can put advenit - these verbs both mean "to come", but "advenire" (infinitive) means sort of to come after being expected and wanted, it can be comprehended as to come to one's rescue
and as for the word fortitudo (strength) it's more of a physical strength (like muscles and that).. now, if you'd like you can use "ops" - it's power/strength as something sort of surreal, or better said supernatural. it was even used as a personal name (female), so you can tattoo it with a capital "o" (Ops) - it was also written this way in literary works, especially in poems and plays (if in plays, then it was a deity or a supernatural force that for example solved problems like fights/quarrels/struggles etc.)... there was also a deity by that name, she was a fertility godess actually, but only in one of the latin tribes (i'm not 100% sure, but i think it was sabine tribe, i think that's how they're called in english - in latin it's sabini; i know a lot about latin mythology, but general latin mythology, this was, as i already said a regional deity).. i'm saying this so you wouldn't think i made it up or something like that - in general latin mythology (the overall accepted one) it was this force i've already described..
so you're welcome of course, hope your tattoo comes out nice :)))
oh and i almost forgot.. i'm not a man, but a girl :))
thanks you so much solum ludus it was awesome
solum !!! how !! thanks for your answer!! i really mean it!!...
yes ..i dont speak english..i'm from argentina!...
wow ..i understand your answer...so im pretty sure your telling me the truth...but well i dont know nothing bout latin...and i saw a tattoo in the web with"Hoc non pereo habebo fortior me"... so thats really confused me ...! so if i want to have that phrase "what doesnt kill me, makes me stronger" translation: "QUID NON ME NECET, ME FIRMAT"
sorry i'm a little slow to understand...well i dont understand english very much and less latin..
Thank you !!! reallly!!!
stephanie you're welcome
and javi, you're also welcome.. you speak spanish so i know you understand it, i know a little bit of spanish so i know it also has subjunctive mood (or in spanish "modo subjuntivo") since it originated from latin.. i hope we cleared things up :)))
Siii!! gracias!! entendi perfecto todo lo que me explicaste... el español es un lío estudiarlo..dicen...!! pero el ingles es un poco mas facil...bueno lo que queria decirte es que habia visto en internet que la mayoría de las traducciones de la frase "lo que no me mata, me hace mas fuerte" eran esas que te escribi, y pense que la mejor era " quod non me necat, fortior me facit", pero debo decirte que era solo suposición...realmente muchas gracias por tu respuesta y me parece bárbaro lo que haces orientando a la gente acerca del latin. Yo por mi parte muchas gracias..!! y me voy a tatuar la frase que vos me diste "QUID NON ME NECET, ME FIRMAT"..
gracias solum por tu tiempo, en serio..muchas gracias!! ojala puedas aprender el españo rápido!!
suerte!!
javi, gracias por tu deseo y este maravilloso agradecimiento :))
entendi todo lo que diciste, pero me disculpo si escribi algun cosa mal, me espero tambien que lo aprendo rapido.. jeje
te quiero mucho suerte a tu vida y si vas a necesitar algun cosa mas, soy aqui
SOLUM!! i have another question!! sorry!!...why the begining of angelina jolie's tattoo stars "QUOD" ?
"QUOD me netrit me destruit" meaning, "WHAT nourishes me also destroys me."
i found this in the dictionray : "QUID"
Meaning: "Quid" (+ genitive) how much? how many? (question) what (thing)? why so?
Cause that way ...could be "QUOD non me necet, me firmat"?? just asking..
thanks...!!
solum!! tenes un 10 en español!! ...jaja
lo unico es que en vez de "" soy aquí"".. sería ""estoy aquí""..
gracias!!..abrazo enorme!!! =))
about this "quod" you can either understand it as a mistake or translate the phrase like this: "THE ONE WHICH nourishes me destroys me" (without "also", cause there is no in the latin sentence, so there can't be one in the translation)
but literally "quod" only means which (in neuter gender)
maybe you'll understand better in spanish: "quid" -> "que"; "quod" -> "quien"
jajaja.. esta bien, te creo :)))
y un abrazo a ti
solum i am i desperate need of your help. getting a tatto next week and have found so many diffrent tranlations. how would u say 'one life' as in the context there is only one life and also how would you say 'live life' thanks so very much
"one life" -> "vita una", but maybe you'd rather use "unica" instead of "una", unica meaning "unique"
"live life" -> "vitam vive", but vive here is in imperative, so it's kind of an order, maybe it would be better to use subjunctive mood (vivas) cause then it's more of an encouragement, so "vitam vivas"
gracias!!! solum!!! me voy a dormir!!...y a preparar el tatuaje...!!jeje
abrazo!!! cuidate...gracias! muchas gracias!=))
Does No God. No Master. No Fear translate to Nullus Deus. Nullus Dominus. Nullus Timor.
I have checked quite a few online translators, but I don't know if i can completely trust them. I would much rather have a person translate it. If you don't mind of course.
Thank you very much for the translation. If poss could you find another word for disability please. Dont think my daughter would be best pleased to find out when she is older that my tattoo for her includes the word impotance, lol. Many thanx.
FOR B.RUSSELL:
"no god. no master. no fear." -> since this is pretty simple you got the right translation "nullus deus. nullus dominus. nullus timor."... "nullus" actually means "none", but in this case you can comprehend it as "there is no..". i also have a suggestion for you - in latin there are a few words for fear: "timor", "metus", "vereor", "terror", so you can use any of these. however, "terror" is somewhat stronger in meaning than the other ones (it's a great fear; when used in ancient rome, it often included violence too - that's why this word has spread in many languages as what we now know terror is), i think that that is not what you really want, but all of the others would be just fine, use which ever you like the most
FOR FIONA:
instead of "impotentia" you can use "incapacitas", but i must warn you that this word wasn't used in ancient rome, but in medieval times (latin was still very much spread in europe despite the fact that the roman empire had fallen), the word came to use from vulgar latin (vulgar meaning folk, so the form of latin used by common people -> the one i study is classical latin used by people of higher social status - like politicians, poets, nobility... - these two forms of latin had many differences in vocabulary, but in grammar too).. so if you want it all to be in classical latin you can only use "impeditio" which is more "hidrance", but can be comprehended as "disability"
and one very important thing: the word "impotentia" is in feminine gender, but "incapacitas" and "impeditio" are in neuter gender, so if you decide to use one of these, you must change "ea" into "eo" ("... quid ex eo facias")
and you're welcome of course
solum ludus, how do you write
solum ludus, how do you write
solum ludus, how do you write
for solum ludus, wats "love is stronger than death" in latin? pleasee n thank you:)
FOR YUNUEN:
"amor fortior morte (est)" - literal translation would be something like this "love stronger by death (is)".. there are two ways of comparing two things in latin: one would be with word "than" (like what you wrote in english); the other is without "than", and then you have to put the other word being compared (in this case death) into ablative case (that's how i translated it to you) - i'm just saying cause i know it sounds awkward now that i've translated it to you - both of these ways were equally used, but if you want me to translate it to you the other way, i will
since this expression sounds somewhat like a proverb, here's what you can do to make it sound more like that in latin: for word "death" instead of "mors" (in nominative case; in ablative case it's morte like in my translation) you can use "nex" which was less used than "mors", but that's what makes it a bit special, especially in situations like this.. if you decide for word "nex", you have to put it in ablative case -> "nece", so "amor fortior nece (est)".. and now the reason i put "est" (is) in brackets: as i already said, this sounds a bit like a proverb, and ancient latin proverbs very often excluded the verb "to be", especially if it was in 3rd ps.sg. like in this case
you're welcome
to solum ludus
hello again,im awfully sorry about calling you a man,i presumed you were a man not a woman,
i got my tattoo today and the writing above it looks fantastic.
im very greatful for your help.
thanks very much x
oh, c'mon.. that's ok. i tell you, everyone thinks i'm a man, and they get really surprised when i tell them opposite
i'm glad that you're satisfied with it :)) and you're welcome
Thank you so much, you are my hero (instead of heroine because it makes you sound like a drug)
haha nice :))
you're welcome
Hi,
I am hoping to get a tattoo with a phrase underneath it which I can relate to having my first child. Can you please translate...
'This is your hand, here are my hands, this is the world'
Thank you.
FOR E.MORGAN: "hoc manus tua, ecce manus meae, hoc mundus" just to warn you, i left out the verb "to be", hope you're not mad, but this is obviously important to you, and this way it sounds like an ancient latin proverb and more illustrious and sublime.. of course, if you want to, i'll translate it literally, but then it'll sort of lose its charm and will even sound a bit weird
hope you trust me, and you're welcome
Thank you so very much Solum...it sounds and looks lovely.
What does it mean literally, just so I know?
hmm literally it's: "this hand yours, here hands mine, this world"
i know it sounds really strange cause this is something you can't do in english, but i assure you that in latin it's in perfect order
solum ludus, im getting a tattoo of "love is stronger than death" in latin, what would you suggest as far as the writing goes so its 'original' to the latin language?
I have seen many people asking what font the "There is more to life than just being alive" tattoo was in, I am happy to say I finally found it. Here is the link so you can download it for free http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=Mar
solum ludus, if you could help me i would greatly appreciate it. me and my tight group of friends are all getting tattoos together on our right forearms, the tattoos will all be latin but each one of us is getting a word or phrase that means something to us. they are as follows:
me- "only god can judge me"
alben- "love that most which could be lost tomarrow"
joe- "i think therefore i am"
jeremiah- "death by my hand"
brad- "death before dishonor"
brice- "truth, virtue, justice"
jen- "vengence"
so if you could help us out we would be most obliged, thanks.
oops, forgot one:
corrie- "friends above any other"
thanks solum ludus
please can you tell me what '' my mother my angel'' in latin pleeaassseeee xxxxx
FOR YUNUEN:
well if you want it to be written like ancient latin inscriptions, it should look like on these pictures:
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/
http://pro.corbis.com/images/CB029138.jpg?size=572{161FCC6E-D388-4591-93AD-58C570686FC5}
http://www.terragalleria.com/images/italy/ital7348
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99
but if you don't like it, you can write it in almost any "fancy" font you want, cause here in europe latin was in regular use till the end of medieval age; b.russell mentioned this site www.dafont.com, i always go there to download some new fonts, so you can check that out to pick up something, you can even contact me to help you chose
FOR CNTRYCWBY:
i can help you of course.. i can translate it all, however you'll need to enlighten me about the expressions for alben, jeremiah and corrie cause english is not my mother tongue, and i just want to make sure i understood what they want to say exactly so that i can translate it the best possible way.. the most problematic one is alben's expression
FOR XXX:
"my mother, my angel" -> "mater mea, angelus meus"
solum ludus, for my phrase "amor fortior morte (est)" should i include the 'est', or was it not used? I just want my tattoo to be as authentic as possible ;) thank you in advance
Hi solum, Help please! Can you translate "For those I love, I will sacrifice" Thanx!!!
FOR YUNUEN:
neither one is wrong, but if i were you i would exclude "est"
FOR ANOUSKA29:
"pro iis/eis quibus amaverim, sacrificabo" - this "iis/eis" means one and the same, use which ever you like more
this is literally what you wanted, but it sounds just a bit weird in latin, so i offer you another solution:
"for my beloved ones i will sacrifice" -> "pro amatis meis sacrificabo"
you can, of course, use which ever you like
certainly,
alben's means: you should love more the things in your life that could be lost the easiest
jeremiah's means: he is responsible for death
corrie's means: friends com first before everyone else
hope this helps, thanks for your time
solum.. its me again!... for my phrase " Quid non me necet, me firmat"....¿tengo que poner alguna palabra en mayuscula? ¿ está bien puesta la coma en la frase? ¿puede ir todo en minuscula?
if you dont understand i'll try to write it in english.
thanks..!! =))
solum ludus,
It is obvious that you are well versed in the Latin Launguage, I am looking at having someing tattooed regarding my son and daughter and their names. I would like somthing expressing my total devotion and love for them. Their Names are Mackenzie and Gillian. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
A favorite of mine:
Cogito, ergo iuguolo
"I think, therefor I kill"
Though Iuguolo (as well as the others) has various applications such as "to butcher" or "to cut the throat of"
Solum Ludus,
I am looking for the translation of "survival of the fittest". I saw someone else ask but couldn't find the actual response and would appreciate assistance from you when you have the opportunity. Thanks! xman1076@yahoo.com
FOR CNTRYCWBY:
yes, it helped a lot :))
"only god can judge me" -> "solum Deus me iudicare potest"
"love that most which could be lost tomorrow" -> "id maxime ama quid cras perdi potest"
"i think therefore i am" -> "cogito, ergo sum" the comma is optional, and i must say i'm wodering you didn't find it yourself, it's a famous saying of a 17th ct. philosopher, frenchman rene descartes, it's most often cited in latin rather than any other language
"death by my hand" -> "mors/nex a manu mea" mors and nex mean the same (death), he can use which ever he likes more, i already said it here - nex was used less often, that's why i consider it more special in these kind of expressions, when translating something for myself i usually use nex cause i have a feeling it's more illustrious, mors is really a common word...
"death before dishonor" -> "mors/nex ante dedecum"; mors/nex - the same thing as the one above
"truth, virtue, justice" -> "veritas, virtus, iustitia"
"vengeance" -> "vindicatio/vindicta" those are synonyms, doesn't matter which one is used
"friends above any other" -> "amici super cetera"
FOR JAVI:
puedes escribir todo en minuscula (solamente si lo vas escribir como una oracion (con punto en el fin) pone "quid" en mayuscula)
la coma debia ir, pero no es un gran error si no lo pones, especialmente si vas escribir todo en minuscula
me disculpo si escribi algun cosa mal :)))
TO GIMAKIDE:
hmm.. i really don't know what to tell you. maybe you should check out some of the earlier posts to see if you like some of those, if not maybe you could tell me a bit more of what you have in mind, then i could help you with a phrase
FOR XMAN:
"survival of the fittest" -> "superviventia capacissimorum"" capacissimorum actually means "of the most capable ones", that's the best i could offer you in latin
solum ...perfecto tu castellano...mejor que el mío.!
Bueno yo pensaba como una oracion, con el Quid con mayuscula. Así pensaba tatuarlo:
Quid non Quid non
me necet, me necet
me firmat . me firmat
Asi pensaba tatuarlo, pero tal como esta, de arriba hacia abajo. Me parece que si le pongo el "punto",tambien le tendría que poner la "coma". Para que quede mejor to see. Pero si lo pongo without coma, and without punto al fin, estaría mal?
Solum your great!...thanks for what you do for us...es tan dificil de encontrar que alguien ayude a la gente de esta manera, siempre generosa con todo el mundo....I apreciate!! really..
Big hug...! =))
solum could you please help me? i'm looking to get a tattoo of the meeting of my name which is "belonging to the sea" or "of the sea" in latin...i was even thinking "i belong to the sea"..if you could translate these i would greatly appreciate it:)
POR JAVI:
"solum ...perfecto tu castellano...mejor que el mío.!" jaja mentiroso.. no, me burlo por supuesto :)))
es un idea muy interesante.. si lo vas tatuar a esa manera pone y la coma y el punto (sin eso pienso que seria raro)
gracias por tus palabras maravillosas :)))
un gran abrazo
FOR MARISSA:
"ad mare pertineo" -> i belong to the sea
you're welcome
i'm sorry to inform you that i'm going to visit my aunt in vienna, so i might not have time to help you while being there, although i'll try to

My brother and I want to get a joint tattoo to remind ourselves of our brotherhood and our bond so thought getting a latin phrase we both could have would be a cool idea.

'Eternal Brotherhood'
'Brothers in Life and Death'
'Remember Your Brother'
If you could help me out that'd be absolutely fantastic! Many thanks in advance!
Oh and added to my previous post, I'm wanting to get this tattooed down the inside of my right forearm so the phrase should ideally be pretty short....I've been looking online for phrases but thus far have struggled. I found one which was <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:1; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-format:other; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:0 0 0 0 0 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt; line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> 'memento vivere' which i believe means remember life or remember to live and that would look so cool so was just wondering if any of the phrases I suggested would look like this or if not, is there anything you could suggest.
if you wanted to contact me by email its br0wner@hotmail.co.uk.Sorry for all the blurb but it will be my first tattoo and I want to make sure I get it done right as I know latin translation can be very tricky so again, thank you very much for you help!
Whoops, just wanted to apologise for that mess, have no idea what just happened!
Hi Solum Ludus, I was looking at all your great translations on this page and i was wondering if you can help me out with a couple of translations. "To love without being loved is suicidal to the soul" (or the closet to this) "Live each day to the fullest" "Without my family and friends I am nothing" Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
For those that are looking into a good font for their tattoos, i found one from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (i know dorky). It is called "elven common speak" looks similar to the font used in "there is more to life than being alive" pictured above. Enjoy.
Now i just hope i can get my three phrases translated....
Hi, can someone translate "No Dream Is Too Big" ?
hi Solum Ludus,
Can you please translate "This too shall pass" in latin for me? thanks!! really appreciate all the help you are giving to all of us =)

Solum Ludus, it's really nice of you to help all of us one by one!
I am getting a tattoo on my wrist, and I would like to be able to look at it and find peace/relieve in myself. I know for one thing that I am still yet to know my own self, I initally thought of doing Nosce Te Ipsum..
But I know a lot of people has done it so I'm thinking of another Latin phrase. I get dissappointed very easily and recently I am very unmotivated (bcuz of life issues), also with that I get a very Iow self-esteem bcuz I think a lot about what other people think of me. I want a beautiful phrase that can remind me of the +ve side of it. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe something like 'Everything happens for a reason'.. or 'Learn to love myself', something short but strong!
Email me at audris.khong@hotmail.com
Thank you so so much!

thanks
solum ludus,can you translate this :
" Better reign in hell, then slave in heaven "
Thanks!
Live and let die... Translation please :-)
Solum Ludus,
I have to commend you for your random acts of kindness:) I can only imagine how greatful these people are to have your translations.I myself have a few quotes I need translated.
"When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky." and "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell." Thankyou so very much. I have looked into many translation services and still have contradicting results.
Thankyou!

I am getting Carpe Diem on my left forearm soon meaning Seize the day. Does anyone know what My day will come would be in latin
hi, i think this site is amazing. i went through all the requests looking for something i liked, but nothing seemed to totally fit what i was looking for.
solum ludus(or anyone else who would be willing to help me), i know your expertise has been called on a lot judging by the rest of the requests, but i was wondering if you could translate these possible tattoo phrases into latin for me:
"Without love, we perish."
"We must free our minds to be truly free in this world."
"No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
"I know what it feels like to give in to something you don't understand."
"Only ater disaster can we be resurrected."
"Without pain, without sacrifice, we have nothing."
i know there are a lot, but i'm trying to see which one really catches me. you can reach me at dudethatstighttt@aim.com if you deem me worthy of assistance.
thank you so so so so sooo much in advance, i want my first tattoo to be special.

My friend has "Dum Spiro Spero" on his chest. It has similar sparrows to the ones in the picture that shows the "Ad Astra Per Aspera" tattoo. The sparrows are under his collar bones and under the sparrow on his right hand side it says "Spiro" and under the left hand side it says "Spero". The "Dum" part is in the middle. So, I guess it reads "Spiro Dum Spero", but if you know the saying then you can understand it. I'll take a pic of it and put a link up so you all can see it. Oh, yeah. I am getting "Ad astra per aspera" on my chest underneath my collar bones. I'm excited.

hey could someone help me with translating 'Party Hard' into latin please? i've looked and there isn't a latin word for party, but if anyone knows anything similiar could you please reply? thanks
heyyy can somoene translate "you only live once" in latin for me :)
@ash Try - Mori erectus malo quam supplex vivere
Fits very nicely with what you're looking for.
@Damniann "Celebra ferociter!" is pretty damn close to "party hard!", but as you say, "party" isn't there :) I'd probably get that double checked, but it seems fine to me ;)
@mary "Semel v?vis" does the trick nicely here, i think.
@mary, that should be vivis* ignore the question mark lol
@ Fiel "Fortes soli superstites sunt" could be translated as "only the strong survive"...if you want.
@Kyle The latin for power is "Potentia" ;)
@ Lucas P "Ut semper victurus somnies, vivas ut moriturus hodie." is one way to translate "Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today"
@Amanda "I am always with you" = "Sum semper cum te" ;)

Thanks
hi could someone please help me out and translate
"one life" and also "no regrets" in latin thanks alot. my email is bfc04@hotmail.com
'audere est facere' - 'to dare is to do'
i feel the need to clarify with people that latin was in use for over 4000 yrs and has gone over SEVERAL hundreds changes in language like english has each generation brings something different and change the meanings of words and cases and verbal phrases change to the point that it could not be understood by people still speaking latin,try and read an old english manuscript you can't, So before you tat any latin on your body know all the possible translation i.e carpe diem "sieze the day" can also be understood as "rape the day".....all that being said i have studied latin for about 3 yrs and feel very good about the following translations,in classical latin:
one life= unus vita
no regrets= non paenitentiae (noun phrase like i live with no regrets)
by that sin fell the angels= Angelus(Angela if you want female)sterniebat illo peccato (understanding the abalative form illo peccato has several translations by the sin, for the sin with the sin etc...)
hope that helps everyone

someone translate this to english for me...
suena que tu vida es para siempre, vive si furera a morir hoy..
i was told it mean't dream as if youll live forever; live as if youll die today.. is this correct PREF. SOMEONE FROM LATIN DESCENT!
circa 1991, being both a latin and spanish student, I can tell you this is definitely spanish, which I hope you already knew that though.
it means Dream that your life is for always, live as if you are going to die today.
this is a brute literal translation so it will most likely be contested with, but colloquially it would mean in essence the same thing as "dream as if youll live forever; live as if youll die today"

i read all above , i think that's a clever idea with this forum and i will appreciate who ever can help me with some translation
" I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
AND
" ..Dare To Dream, Fight For Faith And Live For Love. "
OR
" all i need is LOVE"
thank u very much!!
@K-Bay Marine
That's a tricky one, and i would double check this, but how's "Totum mei sacrificem ut omnia mihi protegam"?
@Suzyq13
How's this? "Inv?n? paradoxum: Si am?ret ad laedendum, non esset dol?rem sed ultr? amorem." Double check it, but it looks gd :)
and for "dare to dream" etc, i'd go with:
"Aud? somni?re, Cert? fid? et V?ve am?re!" (punctuate as you see fit, of course lol)
@pw
"I am my father's son" = Patri meo filius sum
Sorry, sorry. It seems it won't let me type the macrons in lol My above post should read:
@Suzyq13
How's this? "Inveni paradoxum: Si amaret ad laedendum, non esset dolorem sed ultra amorem." Double check it, but it looks gd :)
and for "dare to dream" etc, i'd go with:
"Aude somniare, Certa fide et Vive amore!" (punctuate as you see fit, of course lol)
******************************************
