English-Latin Translations, Part II

Recommended Posts

Now, I was just thinking about it the other day, and would a better translation be

 

Ad Victoriam, et praeter, because "ad" requires an accusative?

 

Also, perhaps ultra would be a better word.

Maybe, "ad victoriam, et ultra"

Or, "Ad victoriam ultraque" or something like that. Could anyone help, please?

Ad victoriam is right, but is not correct. Praeter usually means "except" and beyond comes from that meaning - not very Rome like. "Ad victoriam et ultra" (or ultraque) are both grammatically correct.

Wow, human translation!

 

If you don't mind, how do you say: "To each his own." in latin? The online translator thing said "Ut sulum ipsemet ultroneus" but those things are never right. :huh:

 

Just saying beforehand that an answer is very much appreciated... thanks!

No need, Cicero said that.

 

Suum cuique.

 

B) That's it?!? Hehe. Cicero said it... I thought I heard that phrase from somewhere! Thanks.

What does the Latin word "Fidens" translate as in English? I'm thinking of getting this inked onto myself. Someone told me a few years ago that it means "victory", but the online translators disagree.

Right;

Nominative: victoria

Genitive: victoriae

Dative: victoriae

Accusative: victoriam

Ablative: victoriā

 

I know that's probably more than you wanted, but I get a little carried away sometimes... :stretcher:
