What is the latin translation of "the seized"?

Using the verb "carpere", as in: If I have seized (or plucked, for argument's sake) a group of people, those people are "the seized." I don't think there is an exact translation, but what would the closest to accurate be?What is the latin translation of "the seized"?
Carpti = the seized.



Use the masculine plural of the past participle. This is fairly common in Latin. Adjectives (which includes participles) are frequently used as substantives.
The participle "carpti," as you mention, means more like "plucked" (as flowers). What you actually want is "capti" ("seized"/"captured") or "rapti" ("taken [by force]) or "victi" (conquered").

Doc, READ THE QUESTION!! The asker understands the difference, knows about the pluck/seize issue, but still specifically asked for the answerer to use the verb CARPERE.

I would like to know what "Your soul is unbreakable" translates to in latin. I will be forever grateful for any help that you can offer me!Can someone please help me with an English to Latin translation?
Animus tuus est infragilis.



Vester (your) refers to more than one person. Such as when you are addressing a group of people. Vestri is the plural form used for "your souls". The verb (est) traditionally comes last in Classical Latin, but putting "soul" at the beginning and "unbreakable" at the end emphasizes these two words.



Anima (feminine) means breath, wind, air; animus (masculine) means the rational soul.

Latin is a difficult language. I do not really know it, but hope this helps some. What you really need is someone who knows Church Latin. Try asking at a website of a monastery, such as St. Johns, Collegeville. They have a university there.
Vestri animus est infragilis
Straight translation of "Your soul is unbreakable is"-



"Vestri animus est infragilis."
Anima tua infragilis est.



N.B. one normally places the verb at the end in Latin! Anima is a feminine word.

Latin Translation for Tattoo?

I need to translate "Never forget where you came from" into Latin. I'm planning on getting a tattoo of it on my ribs this summer and I want to make sure I have the right translation. Please only respond if you are fluent or close to fluent in Latin. I have used an online translator to get "Nunquam alieno qua vos venit ex". Is this correct?Latin Translation for Tattoo?
No, it's not even vaguely close. "Ne obliviscaris unde veneris."



Edit: You don't use "numquam" in negative commands.
Nekad aizmirst, kur jums bija no

not sure^^Latin Translation for Tattoo?
Ok, the sentence is basically right; however, instead of "alieno, as, avi atum, are" I'd use the verb "obliviscor, eris, oblitus sum, oblivisci", and as far as I know "ex" isn' t necessary, as "qua" itself means "from where"; you can still leave "ex", it doesn' t really matter. I don' t know what Maddie is talking about, but that isn' t latin. Actually, I think it is latvian.Latin Translation for Tattoo?
Your answer has some right words but the grammar is totally messed up.



I would say, "numquam obliviscere quo veneris"



It's pretty foolish to get a tattoo in a language you don't know yourself.

  • I need a Latin translation of the phrase "Love cannot be sold or bought."?

    Would someone please be able to translate this for me into Latin? Preferably a student or teacher of the language, as I don't trust machine translations at all.I need a Latin translation of the phrase "Love cannot be sold or bought."?
    Amorem neve vendere neve emere potest.I need a Latin translation of the phrase "Love cannot be sold or bought."?
    amor nec vendi nec emi potest



    or



    amor aut vendi aut emi nequit



    -----



    "amor": nominative form of "amor" = "love"; the nominative form makes it the subject of the sentence.



    "vendi" and "emi": passive forms of "vendere" = "to sell", and "emere" = "to buy". Passive form is used because the subject, love, is *being* bought (or sold).



    "potest": 3rd person singular present tense of "posse" = "to be able; can".



    "nec...nec": this combination translates to "neither...nor", such that a literal rendition translates to: "love can neither be sold nor be bought.



    "nequit": 3rd person singular present of "nequire" = "to be unable; cannot". Note that the second suggestion simply *inverts* the semantics (but not the sentiment) of the first; see following note.



    "aut...aut": this translates to "either...or". A literal translation yields, "love cannot either be sold or be bought".

    Are online latin-english translation services really worth it?

    I've tried a few online translation services to translate a document I have in Latin I need for work. But I haven't found any that make sense!



    Would you recommend hiring somebody to translate this or are there other ways this can be done?Are online latin-english translation services really worth it?
    the problem with translation websites is that they lose alot of meaning in the translation, leave out whole words, subtitute words where you don't need them, it's a big mess. hire someone to do it for you, definately. Especially if it's something important for work



    you don't want to be walking into the office after it's translated only to find out the translation says something to the effect that your boss' wife has a huge bootie.



    definately invest the $ for a professional living, breathing translator.



    good luck :o)Are online latin-english translation services really worth it?

    Not just The Google translation but an actual translation from the languageWhat is the latin Translation for the quote " Love the life you live, Live the life you love." ?
    @John - Vivere is indeed intransitive, but there is a rule that allows verbs act take nouns with the same root as a direct object. E.g., vitam vivere, ius iurare, pugnam pugnare. I am told that this is called "figura etymologica".



    Taking this principle into account, I suggest "ama quam vivis vitam, vive quam amas", pronounced as in this recording: http://www.zshare.net/download/920862060鈥?/a> . As you will notice, the final M in vitam and quam is quite weak.What is the latin Translation for the quote " Love the life you live, Live the life you love." ?
    "Ama vitam victam, vive in vita amata" (Ah-mah wee-tahm week-tahm, wee-way in wee-ta ahm-ah-tah)

    It's hard to literally translate ("live" is intransitive), so I wrote what would be the most logical translation. It might be wrong, and I won't deny that it isn't, but anyone who speaks Latin should understand it. The "you live" and "you love" threw me off. Some one might have a better translation, but there are different ways to translate it (and likely, more correct).

    External capri radialis

    External digitorum



    And by "Latin" I do not mean spanish.I need the original latin translation for the following muscles.?
    1. -Quadratus is an adjective for "squared" or "squareset"

    -Lumborum is the genitive plural of lumbus, meaning "of the loins"



    So, a rough translation is "squared [thing] of the loins"



    2. -Biceps is an adjective for "two headed," "with two summits," "having two parts," or "two-fold."

    -Brachii is the genitive singular of brachium, meaning "arm," "lower arm," or "forearm" in reference to the human body; "claw," "branch," or "shoot" in reference to nature; or "earthwork connecting forts"



    So, a rough translation is "two headed arm"



    3. -Brachialis is either from the adjective for "connected with arms" or the genitive form of the noun brachiale, meaning "bracelet" or "armlet"



    4. -Same as #2, except "three headed"



    5. -Flexor comes from the verb flectere, meaning "bend," "curve," or "bow"; "turn" or "curl"; or "persuade," "prevail on," or "soften"

    -I thnk you mean "carpi," which comes from the verb meaning seize, gather, or consumer or erode

    -radialis means ray or rod



    6. Same as #5, except ulnaris means "pertaining to the forearm"



    7. Same as #5, except external means outer



    8. digitorum means "of the fingers/toes"

    English to Latin translation: "Grateful for every moment" ?

    I was wondering if anyone with a solid Latin knowledge could help me out with this one? I want to translate "grateful for every moment" (as in "I am grateful/thankful for every moment") into proper Latin. I've already found that online translation sites aren't the way to go, as I have gotten at least 4 different translations. I appreciate the help!English to Latin translation: "Grateful for every moment" ?
    The above translation is almost perfect. "Ago gratias" is the most common idiomatic expression for giving thanks, but the construction takes a dative object. Although in English we say "FOR every moment," in Latin the endings of the nouns/adjectives contain the part of speech so the preposition is at best unnecessary and at worst incorrect Latin.



    And so, a more correct way to express this in Classical Latin would be:



    Omni momento gratias ago.English to Latin translation: "Grateful for every moment" ?
    Pro omni momento gratias ago.

    Then, re sentence 3, thanks to the colleague who reminded me of the "double accusative" construction. Otherwise, I would have thought that "suos amicos" should be "suis amicis," which still seems a reasonable construction (you teach the concept to the person), but I've learned that after "docere" and a few other verbs, both nouns are accusative.What is the Latin translation of these English sentences?

    Online translators say its "pedes per haud desiderium" but I'm not sure if thats grammatically correct in Latin. Does anyone know?What is the correct English to Latin translation for "walking with no regrets"?
    "ambulans sine paenitentia" means "walking with no regrets (change of mind/attitude)".



    "ambulantes" would be the plural".



    I am assuming you want the nominative.



    "Without" in Latin is "sine"; however, it requires the ablative case. If you choose to use "desiderium" for "regrets", it has to be in the ablative case ... (disiderio").
    It is close to correct



    It means "walking without any desires or longings"



    It is close because you probably would not use that expressionWhat is the correct English to Latin translation for "walking with no regrets"?

    Litterally: Born out of the lower world, making [my] way to the sky.



    The reason we say the lower world and the sky is because there is no word for heaven and hell in Latin, so when christianity came around they used the same thing as they did for their Roman mythology.

    The original sentence is:

    My translation into latin is:

    "Fortuna bona nautorum est nihil sine sapientia et sunt poenas dant."



    Is this right?Is this latin to english translation correct?
    Almost - the word sunt should not be there, and penalty should be singular. To pay a penalty is dare poenam; the verb is already included, so you do not need sunt.



    ...et poenam dant.
    Just take out "sunt." Latin has no progressive tenses, and "dant" in that construction can mean "are paying" as well as simply "pay."Is this latin to english translation correct?
