Yes, there's Google Translate, but all know that's only reliable for getting the general meaning across. I'd like this to be a little more precise.

Google suggests "Ordo Tenebris Mundi" or "Ordo Tenebras Mundi". However, as near as I can tell, "tenebris" and "tenebras" are both nouns and the adjectival form is "tenebrosus", yielding Ordo Tenebrosus ( Read more... )

How would two medieval men address to each other and speak of each other if they communicated in Latin? One of them is older, but both are of the same rank, not too high. Is there a common form of address, like "master" or "sir", only in Latin?
Is the term "magister" only used to address a very learned man?

Modern day, America. This is a first meeting between Natasha Romanoff (a former Russian spy who is inexplicably fluent in Latin) and Stiles Stilinski (who is taking Latin in high school). She is helping him with his Latin, they have been texting each other in Latin for a while, and they are meeting each other in person for the first time, after his ( Read more... )

I want to riff on Descartes' Cognito Ergo Sum. Is Cognito Cognito Ergo Cognito Sum, anywhere near a correct construction? I'm trying to say "I think that I think, therefor I think that I am".

Hi all!  First time poster here.

I'm working on a super hero webcomic, and I need a motto for a SHIELD knockoff called AEGIS (Advance Enforcement, General Intervention Service).  I've searched the Web for Latin translation pages and I have a vague idea of what I want.  The phrase is "Defend Freedom", and the Latin seems to be either "libertas tuebor ( Read more... )

I've got a few Latin phrases that I was hoping someone would be able to check for me. I've been studying declensions and cases and everything for the last week but I'm not 100% sure I've translated these right. Given that my lead character was born a Roman, it'd be embarrassing if he messed up his mother-tongue!
