Anyone Know Latin?

PsYcHo · 16-01-2008, 09:01 PM

Does anyone know latin decently enough?
If you do can you translate this for me so I can make sure I've not got it all completely wrong..

'Ago in somnium planto puto'

Just want to make sure I've got the right words..

Thanks in advance

canis est in horto

the dog is in the garden.

or something.

latin lessons were interesting.
but the stories would [worryingly] mean an *adult* label was required

"Ago in somnium planto puto" = "yo yo baby doll wuz good"

Actually my latin translator says "To spend time upon dream to set in place to clear"

I did and that's where I got the words I want translated from.
I know what it says, or what I believe it says I just need someone who knows latin to make sure I've got it right.

To spend time dreaming is to think clearly..

Maybe? Something along those lines.

Its something like

Live upon a dream of make believe

Its very rough translation but I'm fairly sure its accurate

Acephalous · 17-01-2008, 01:47 PM

Online translators do not take into account tenses, verbs or grammar.
I can do legal latin; expressio unius est exclusion alterius and all that mumbo jumbo, but unless it has anything to do with the legal system - then i cant help - sorry.

That's roughly what I make it out to be. It's for a tattoo and I don't want to get those words done if they don't mean exactly what I want.
I hate those translators *pulls angry face*

Thanks everyone for replying, you've been helpful :)

why not get something in a language you understand then?
