To Ginevra's helpful suggestions, I'll just add one more, to fill your request, Vincere, for a Roman name that suggests "joker, trickery". And that would be the cognomen: "Stellio". Literally, it means "a newt", but figuratively, it means "a crafty fellow". -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguel Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Anyone knows what is "the one who was born with hatred" in Latin? I don't know any Latin word means "to be born" And is 'odio' the ablative of 'odium'? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Anyone knows what is "the one who was born with hatred" in Latin?I don't know any Latin word means "to be born" And is 'odio' the ablative of 'odium'? Thanks!! While I don't know of any specific Roman name meaning "the one who was born with hatred", I can suggest a likely creation, using the suffix "-genus". An example would be the name of L. Cornelius Scipio Asiagenus, with his agnomen meaning "born in Asia". So, presumably, your cognomen/agonomen meaning "born with hatred" might be: Odiogenus (feminine form: Odiogena). A name with such a meaning of dishonor, though, doesn't sound a likely cognomen or agnomen that a Roman might adopt for himself, even given the seemingly pejorative nature of many of the existing Roman cognomina. And, yes, "odio" is the ablative of "odium". -- Nephele Edited June 19, 2007 by Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 But is there any word means 'to be born'? I couldn't find any... Perhaps natus or genitus could work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Perhaps natus or genitus could work But what is the infinitive? This is not exactly a strong point but I will try... nasci (to be born) nascitur (he is born) natus est (he was born) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiman305 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 can any please tell me the latin words for live free , die well thanks in advance I'm not well-versed in English->Latin translation, but I'll have a go: vive libere obique recte I assumed the sense of free was "freely," and that by "well" you meant "in a correct manner," rather than "in a pleasant way." Hope that's what you were going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazlet Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 How do I say "Hello, I'm the doctor!" in Latin? My best effort has been "Salve. Medicus sum." But I'm not sure that it might imply 'I'm a doctor' rather than the doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dalby Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 How do I say "Hello, I'm the doctor!" in Latin? My best effort has been "Salve. Medicus sum." But I'm not sure that it might imply 'I'm a doctor' rather than the doctor. You probably can't get closer than that without adding some words. Which words? Before we can answer that, you have to think, what do I mean by saying I'm "the" doctor? The only one in the room? The only one in the town? The one you were all expecting? The one you were told about yesterday? To translate from a language that uses definite and indefinite articles, to one that doesn't, you have to trace the thought back a little way.

I don't know in what context Tazlet here might be referring to "the doctor", but his question brought to my mind the old British sci-fi series titled Dr Who, in which the main character always referred to himself simply as "The Doctor" (presumably of the academic sort -- not medical sort). With my interest in names, I'm naturally curious as to how a name/title with the definite article might translate into Latin. Could you enlighten me on that? -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
