Dominus Rex Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi, I was just wondering, how would you translate To victory, and beyond? I have it in my signature, but I am not sure if it is correct. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 It's actually fine, but I don't like the word praeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominus Rex Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Then what should I use instead of "praeter"? Edited June 7, 2006 by Dominus Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominus Rex Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 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?

Q Valerius Scerio Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 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.

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 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. Just saying beforehand that an answer is very much appreciated... thanks!

Princeps Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Fidens means confident and bold. But it is also the present active participle for the word fido which means to to or have confidence in, so in participial translation, trusting or while trusting.

Dominus Rex Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 And, Victory is "victoria," in the nominative case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) 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: Edited December 24, 2006 by Quintus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
