 |
|
For those of you who have studied Latin...
Looking to translate:
"Loyalty Until Death"
Into Latin...
Keep getting different answers from different translation web-sites...
Is this correct:
"fidelitas insquequo nex"
Thanks...

Translating it back from Latin into English, it is close, but "Nex" more appropriately means "violent death."
"fidelitas insquequo Letum" would be "Fidelity Until Death"
Since "insquequo" does not exactly roll off the tongue, "Dum" would work as well:
"Fidelitas Dum Letum" = "Fidelity Until Death"
Now - as for Loyalty/Fidelity...
There is not a straight latin/english translation of the word Loyalty, but "Fidelitas" is the closest. You could also use "pietas,"but the backwards translation would more closely be "Piety Until Death."
Myself, I would go with "Fidelitas Dum Letum." |

Great, many thanks...
They had quit offering Latin when I was in H.S. , it was Spanish / German / French...
at the time I was glad, but in retrospect I wish it had been available and I had taken it....
Anyway, thanks again!

fidelitas is a noun, fidelis an adjective
nex (,necis) is more like "killing", "murder".
in my opinion the correct translation is "fidelitas usque ad mortem".
"insquequo" doesn't exist in latin, and "dum" is a bit different.

I see this thread just now.
Take heed of the word of the CultOfVomit...

| Clitoris Motoris is the only "latin" phrase we are taught in Finland. In case someone doesn't know, it refers to these young men driving with their tuned cars around McDonald's in order to get girls attention. No, I don't have a car. |

| I think the best translation of Death in the sense of dying (ie. not being killed etc.) is: Mors |
