Errr Ummmm hehe ya know I have always been a straight A student and never had to study, and yet every single language class I have ever taken (french, spanish and german) I have failed at miserably I seem ot be lacking the language gene.

So...uhh what does Amo te. (Osculum) (Embrasum) translate out to?

how does it go? carborundum, non disputandem? ahhh I can't reemember...it has been such a long long time since anyone has tossed latin my way [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think the other guys right...

when you say Sum Una Leonam it translates into "I am one Lioness" Which is not what I think you want to say right? err yeah [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sum Leonam or Leona Sum. I think that is it... what is Verum Est?

Yep, you all are right, I loked it up at lunch. esse is an intransitive verb and takes the nominative case as its object, Laeana sum would be correct. Forgive the doggy Latin, it's been a long whiule.

*stares at page full of notes* this Latin dictionary is useless! It tells me potesse=posse but doesn't have an entry for posse!

I get the impression that I don't know all the necessary grammar for this translation. Rikard, could you tell me if this is right (or Galadria):
Lauda: imperative singular of laudare, to praise
in: in [img]tongue.gif[/img] preposition with ablative or accusative (ablative in this case I guess)
illo: ablative singular masculinum/neutrum from ille, illa, illud, meaning *jener* in German, I suppose something like the former in English.
quod: my dictionary tells me this is a subjunction. I have no idea what that is. EDIT: could be a form of qui, quae, quod too but in that case this sentence is screwed badly.
nec: closest thing I have is nec: or not, also not, but not (rough translation)
eripi: infinitive present passive of eripere/eripire (stupid dictionary) or imperative?
potest: from potesse, 3rd person singular (present tense), to be able to
nec: see above
dari: infinitive present passive from dare, to give
quod: see above
propium: closest I have here is propius, a, um: characteristic. Would then be nominative/accusative singular neutrum or accusative singular masculinum.
hominis: at last a word I know! Genitive singular of homo, meaning human.
est: from esse (to be) 3rd person singular

HELP!!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/help.gif[/img]
Is this right? I've yet to get it into a comprehensible sentence, but I have no idea what a subjunction is! don't have Latin long enough yet I guess.
