What is the English to Latin translation of these two words?

INEFFABLE and ENDURE

someone pleeeeese help!What is the English to Latin translation of these two words?
ineffabilis

sustinereWhat is the English to Latin translation of these two words?
Both those words have Latin origins, but each has several shades of meaning all based on those Latin roots. When "endure" means to last or survive, it's "durare" or "permanere." You can see how both those words developed into English. When "endure" means to bear or suffer or stand or put up with, the Latin is "ferre,' "perferre," ("bear" and "intensely bear"), "tolerare," or a couple of others.



"Ineffable" comes from a deponent Latin verb, "effor," meaning speak out. Literally, "ineffable" means unspeakable, but it has a variety of senses. If you really mean unspeakable in the sense of too awful to put in words, the Latin is "infandus"--not to be said. If you mean simply indescribable or beyond words, it's "quod verbis exprimi non potest"--which can't be expressed in words.



Keep in mind that any of these words or phrases will vary slightly depending on what they modify or refer to and how they're used in a sentence or in their own clause.What is the English to Latin translation of these two words?
