Is anyone here really good with Latin?
Is there anyone who would be willing to translate a few phrases for me in return for a pos rep?

tell me!

i'll try if you want!

you have 420 posts, that almost makes me want to help you.

but the promise of positive rep points as payment really kills the desire.

i'm no rep ho, yo.

why don't you just google latin translators?

i tried google but none of them are accurate.

All of you try and see if you come up with the same thing!!!
This is what I would like:
Come on, try a little. Nothing is forever. There has to be something better than in the middle.

It CAN be done.. but who can do it?

i think i'm well in latin, but i'm not very well in english but i could try to translate your phrases if you want

this is what i came up to... sorry if it isn't accurate/right as you wanted, it's just my first attempt!

bono animo sis, parum attempta. nihil aeternum est. necesse est aliquid melior quam in medium esse.

(i had quite a few problems with the last sentence... hope it's right!)

you fucker, you went ahead and gave me a pos rep for that post anyway didn't you?

i'm glad i gave shitty advice.

its a dead language. sorry.

Latin is still spoken at the holy see, being the official language of the roman catholic church. The language still evolves, and new words are created, such as Vis Atomica (nuclear power), Lucem Emittens Diodus (LED, Light Emitting Diode), taxillus (Microchip); However, nobody speaks Latin as a first language anymore.

Can anyone confirm this?
If the last sentence doesn't work when it's worded like that, is there a way that it could be worded that's easier to translate and still mean the same thing ?

god, i just searched google for english to latin translators for an hour and came up with nothing good. if anyone is good with latin, i need this phrase tanslated for my tattoo.

"Etched forever in my heart and my life"

i got the idea for the tattoo because my sig. other told me ill forever be etched in his life.

thanks in advance!

I am having the same problems with finding translators.

I would still like more opinions on that phrase from above and I would also like
"Always question" which I assume is something like semper interrogo but I don't know about the conjugation.

It would be "semper interroga" because 'interrogare' is the infinitive; the rule is to take the '-re' off to form a singular imperative.

I think bikinikills's translation of the Wallflowers' lyric (right? lol ) was good. It's hard to get the exact thing in Latin...but you get a lot of leeway.

The last sentence ("necesse est aliquid melior quam in medium esse") is basically "it's necessary for something better than to be in the middle." It sounds kind of rough, but that's how a lot of Latin to English translations end up.

"Too much is not enough" would be (I think): "nimis non satis est."

yes, i came up with that same thing!

Somewhere up in the mountains of Romania, there are a handful of dialects that can pass for living Latin.

Anyway, I had been taught in school that the Cockney accent was the last vestigal trace of Latin pronunciation from when the Romans inhabited Londinium. I don't know if that's true or not, but it makes for a nice story anyway.
