"postatem obscuri lateris nescistis" WTF??
Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.
Which Weird Latin Phrase Are You? brought to you by
Quizilla Actually the phrase "Postatem obscuri lateris nescistis" is partly wrong in Latin.
In fact:
1-“postatem” does not exist, while there is “potestatem”, meaning ‘power' (singular, accusative case of the noun ‘potestas').
2-“obscuri lateris” exists and could mean “of the dark side”.
3-“nescistis” exists and literally means:”you did not know”(2nd. person plural of the verb “Nescio” -past tense).
In this context however I think that the verb could be “nescitis”, i.e. “you do not know” (2nd. person plural of the present indicative of the verb “Nescio”).
To conclude, the correct Latin phrase sounds as follows:
“Potestatem obscuri lateris nescitis”
that means:
“You do not know the power of the dark side”.
or:
"You do not know the power of your dark side”.
