[ ISSUE SOLVED ] I need someone who knows Latin
 

Ok, so here is the deal. I am getting my first tattoo tomorow or saturday...its gonna be my badge with a black band going over it and I want to have "In memory of my fallen brothers" in latin surrounding the badge. So I need to know if anyone knows latin or knows someone who knows latin that could tell me the proper grammer and spelling of the words to use. I have tried the online translation sites, but they are too unreliable and they change words around and stuff. Let me know if any one can help out.

Re: I need someone who knows Latin

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

woops...You said latin ...lol oh well

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

ok i dont think im gonna be of any help..but i can confirm a couple of words..

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

Yea In is in, memoria is memory and meus is my. Now of, can be de, dei, di, super, and a bunch of others. frater is brother, but brothers and sisters is fratres, and frateri is brothers also i think. But frater also means fraternitity. OI, and cado is like dead or fallen, but so is pereo, iccoudo and a couple others. I think I'm gonna go with cado though. I just need to know if de is the correct "of" i need and if fratres is a good translation for brothers and sissters in the sense I'm using it. Soooo confusing.

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

well i think you might be right since "de" is of in spanish and spanish is derived from latin...so i think that might be a good guess...

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

Well I can't translate, but it funny you ask cause this last week I had been searching for latin translations for a tattoo I want. There are some latin forums that you can find, but the best I came up with was Yahoo Answers. In your title put like "Translation - Latin 2 English" and then desribe the rest in the body. People answer them pretty quickly but just wait for a few answers and double check them with google searches as best as you can. We're talkin perm ink. Good luck. Oh yeah, you gotta log in with a yahoo account.

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

Thanks, I'll give that a go too.

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

Ok, so thanks to the Yahoo answers idea, I got a reply from someone who speaks latin and teaches it. They said I should get "In memoriam fratrum meorum casorum". So thanks for the idea homie!

Re: I need someone who knows Latin
 

glad you found it bro! now i'll mark as solved for ya! good luck with the tatt!
