English to Latin translation

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Just wondered if anyone could please help and provide a translation for the following;

 

'You can dream, So dream out loud'

 

Many thanks

"Somniate in voce alta," if you are speaking to more than one person. Otherwise "Somnia in voce alta."

 

Latin has an economy of words. Especially for proverbs and adages.

Is there a difference between the Latin words for 'sleep' and 'dream'?

"Sleep" and "dream" can be nouns or verbs.

 

As verbs:

To sleep is "dormire."

To dream is "somniare"

 

As nouns:

the noun sleep is "somnus."

the noun dream is "somnium".

I have a request. I would greatly appreciate a translation of this: "God speaks to those who listen."

 

I used this link to come up with "Deus loquitur audientibus", though I have no idea if it is correct.

Anyway, I found this thread while searching for an existing thread for translations. I'm wanting translations for the noun forms of "Strength" and "Honor", yes, like in Gladiator. LOL The link I posted gave me:

 

Strength - robur (ROBVR)

Honor - honorem (HONOREM)

 

Ancient Latin was all caps, right? Reason I ask is that I'm trying to come up with a tattoo idea. LOL

 

Thanks.
