Can anyone speak Latin?

[Triffe]

I'm looking to translate the phrase "War is our business" into latin.


Belli ecce(is?) nostrum negotiationis (negoti more correct maybe?).

I couldn't really find a word for is in latin, thre might not be one that is neutral. Also as you can see this is word by word translation.

I got this with dictionaries and grammer aids but I'd like to see how close I am, and would also like to make sure this is correct.

Thanks if you can help, thanks if you can't too.

Alfaroverall does afaik.

more like staring at a clock waiting for my work day to end, so I can go in search of another tasty deer.

Bellum nostri negotium est.

It's been a while though so no guarantees ;)

If memory serves correct though shouldn't it be written(assuming what you wrote is correct)
BELLVM NOSTRI NEGOTIVM EST?

[Metal Wolf]

Maybe use something no so cliche?

Only if you type in caps ;) you're right that there was a time in which they only used this for clarity, but there is more latin than ancient Roman. (and yes, capital u is V)

Ah ok haha, I only learned Ancient Roman style then I suppose, makes since since I learned it in Italy.

I don't think there's anyone that can actually speak Latin fluently, it's too complicated.

I've always found it pretentious for a clan to use a Latin phrase in place of understandable English, as though doing so somehow makes them appear more professional than they would otherwise be.

"War is our business" is a slogan which assigns meaning to your clan. Translated into Latin, it's unintelligible by most individuals who will see it.

Aside from that, the slogan is incredibly clichéd in either language.

Ahh I do find that pretentious as well, the saying isn't intended to be understood, It just serves as the sigil for one section of the guild it is meant for. Underneath would be the the english version.

Using latin dosen't make your appear more professional, it just looks cool :). Also, I'm considering several ancient languages to use, I jsut can't translate latin very well.

Latin clan names are the epitome of fail

I didn't make the saying :)

[Saturday Saint]

Latin clan names are the epitome of fail

Atrum Pyra = godly clan name, no?

[Ozzy Wrong]

Wrong, wrong, completely wrong.
Ego amo ut secui.
That's all you need.

[Jinpachi]

I understand why you want it in Latin. If you translate it to Latin it will suddenly become meaningful, cool etc.

[Carbonlegend]

You shouldnt use latin if you cant understand it or speak it yourself. Seems silly to be your only doing it to "look cool". Call yourselves the Presbyterian New Wave and be happy.

A lot of English has Latin (and yes, Greek + French + various Germanic dialects) at its root. Take the legal phrase, exculpatory clause. culpa = sorry / ex = not

I think my current favorite Latin phrase is: Repensum est canicula.

[C00KIEM0NSTER]

Best phrase is. Te adeo interficio cochleare.

been like 3 years since i last took latin, but if i remember right that should translate into, "May you be killed by a spoon." Would be a much more badass name for your guild :crossesarms:

One time Niles was talking about some latin pun that translates to "Always wear underwear." I think you should use that, and just tell people it means something badass.

I don't remember the latin words though.

[Natdaprat]

Think of an original clan name or tag line for once, please.

[Ignignokt]

Personally, I think Latin just looks cool. If no one understands it, they won't know it's cliche and will just see the cool looking name. Why is everyone so opposed to this?

It was nice when it first started, but now, it pisses me off.

There are more complicated languages spoken by people today, but with no native speakers around to help you establish fluency of speaking and listening, true fluency is pretty much impossible. But fluency of reading is entirely possible, and many people do have it.

semper ubi sub ubi. It's "always where under where" which is obviously nonsense in both Latin and English.

I just probably just haven't come across it as much as you guys. I can imagine how it would get old fast.
