This will help a lot.
Google translate tends to mess translations from time to time.
I've had a bit of latin but it's always better to have it here rather than stick nose in dictionary.
By the way adding latin to the story was a great idea.
385881
what do you expect?
latin is a dead language only used by the church and the Catholic order
It sounds like a beautiful language...but I have to wonder,I see that his friends represent the Bearer's aswell,but what about the Elements of Chaos?
I also really adore these names....
Just starting to read this story, and saw this. Just read over some of the translations, but I just thought I'd point out something. Many words in the Latin language had double meanings, similar to many English words. For example: Umbra. It means either shadow, darkness, or silence, depending on the context it's used in. The more you know.
658476 It was for that reason that I made this post. This is to make sure that what I mean is translated over correctly.
I know this is asking a lot of you but could you either alphabetize it or order it in order as seen? Of course you don't have to just asking.
712206 It should be in order as seen, but I fear I may have miss a few. ( I started this well after the story started.) If you find any could you point out the chapter, I'd appreciate it,
Brony on!
712404 I shall keep that in mind. I might have seen a few maybe though I can't remember what they were.
712414 Gracias!
712418 De nada.
I found one chapter four
it's right about the time they tell him he might lose his soul. I lost my soul once. I didn't get it back that's the end of the story.
712467 Virgin Marks. I'll look up that chapter to see if there are any more. Thanks.
712475 Happy to help. Ohh I helped somepony "YO PINKIE IS IT PARTY WORTHY?" yup it is.
found one it's a name his supposed room mate.
Never mind it's just in the top. I guess names are not ordered they are grouped together.
found one.
719206 Its there, its just a part of a saying. Its says salute the dead (the saying being, Dervito pulvis et saltant mortuus)
719977 Dang I have a lazy eye.
So sometimes I miss things though in chapter 41 the Latin conversation Miles and Luna have is not in there. I think.
720802 I'll check it (I don't think it is) Thanks
Brony on!
720816 K tell me if it isn't because I want to know. I have a HUGE curiosity problem and things never leave my head when I am curious.
720839 Alright it's up, thanks for pointing them out
720928 Happy to help.
Found another.
chapter 46
Found another
733202 What chapter is that?
734519 Er um I don't remember my computer glitched out before I could finish but somehow posted.
Try somewhere between 90 and 100 I think it was 93 though.
736151 Got it, thanks
Chapter 140 and 148 have a lot. Sorry I missed a ton my internet is
so I had to download and read then.
I've taken a quick glance at this and... I see a lot of problems. The most obvious problem I'm seeing is you're not accounting for English's tendency of giving certain words noun and verb forms.
For example:
"Dolum Ostendere", which you translated as "trick show". It actually means "to show a trick". The word, "show", can be a verb or a noun in English. You can "show things" and you can "perform a show". "Trick show" would translate as "spectaculum doli" or "spectaculum dolorum" if you were to continue using the noun, "dolus". The phrases respectively translate as "A show of deception" and "a show of deceptions", so you can take your pick.
998910 The names can't be changed sadly. what is there has to stay. Thanks though.
998913
For future reference, I suggest you pick up a copy of Wheelock's Latin. The first couple of chapters will teach you the basics of the language, which are all you really need for writing stories, which have the occasional Latin phrase.
Couple that with Wiktionary and you'd have a usable command of the language at your fingertips.
Hell, with a couple of weeks of moderate study and a good dictionary you'd be able to read most of the ecclesiastic scripts with ease. Latin's only intimidating because the English language has some quirky effects on culture and many of the surviving classic scripts are the writings of double tongued politicians and douchebag poets.
998918 Thanks for the advice!
You're welcome.
I'm usually not fussy about grammatical mistakes; you'll almost never see me bitch at someone for a typo or malformed English sentence unless the error is incomprehensible. Bad Latin, on the other hand, tends to set me off because it demonstrates how poorly English is taught and understood by the general populace.
The problem isn't people don't know Latin. The problem is most people only know practical English, which is filled with strange shortcuts, loopholes, rampant metaphors, and slang. People tend to speak as their brains automatically translate thoughts into words; they do not consciously compose. To me using a foreign language in a work shows an admirable attempt of conscious composition, but the knowledge of how to properly do it is not common because of how English is presented.
I don't think practical English will be the downfall of civilization; my grievances aren't melodramatic. I simply dislike the modern interpretation of the language because it lacks artistry and acts as a barrier against learning foreign languages.
I apologize for my rant. As a supporter of the New Lunar Republic I've been swallowing bile as I witness phrases, like "vivat nocte", which cause me to cringe.
VIVAT NOX!
998948 Yup! English is the B language! It only follows its own rules 80% of the time.
998952
In the common speeches most languages only follow their rules "80%" of the time. The problem is people don't tend to have the option of following the rules 100% of the time because the rules aren't taught.
I have never had an English class, which discussed noun declension, and by the blank stares, which I typically receive when I talk to most people about it, most other people haven't either, at least not in a way that meant anything.
Aspects of noun declension are discussed, subjects, objects, indirect objects, prepositional phrases, etc, but the underlying theory of how these interact is neglected. In my experience a semester of high school Latin covers more grammar theory in a more organized and comprehensible way than four years of high school English.
I recognize my evidence of why I think the way I do about this subject is circumstantial, I could be entirely wrong. I won't dispute that, although I will say the circumstances, which I often see, frustrate me.
Found something needing translation. "TUUM ANIMA SCIENT MORTEM".
Ch. 21
"Ad bonum temporibus"
--"to good times"
1242105 Added, thank you very much.
Ch. 36
"COR MEUM"
--"my heart"
1242241 Erm... thanks again....
1242243
There's going to be a lot of these xD
1242308 Really? Damn, I thought I at least got most of them. Oh well, thanks for helping!
Ch. 46
"Te sunt non Luna"
--"You are not Luna"
***While this is technically correct, this is translated directly. The more proper form is "Luna non estis". "sunt" pertains to objects while "estis" refers to individuals
Ch. 46
"ego sum libenter tuum retro"
--"I am glad your back"
***I had problems with "your back", [you are back], [you returned], [you have return], [you have returned]. I don't know Latin, just using multiple translators to reverse engineer the phrase to approach the original statement. The general consensus across four separate translators I got [I am glad you are back] to come out as "Gaudeo es retrorsum". A more direct translation of [I am glad you are back] results in "ego sum laetus vos es tergum"
1242429 Very through my good sir. Very.
Ch. 68
"Requiem bene, amicus meus"
--"Rest well, my friend"
Ch. 70
"Sordida Dives"
--"Filthy Rich"
1243035 At this rate I'm starting to feel as if I only translated a few of the phrases.... thanks for the help.
Ch. 71
"Hyacintho Unum"
--"one blue"
***Latin grammar. When translated directly, "Blue One"
