Latin request (Vanity)

[Cincinnatus]

Romanes Eunt Domus

[inquest]

Isn't moriuntur the passive tense of the verb "to die"?

Some Latin intransitive verbs don't have an active form, so the passive is the standard form for them.

[Melas]

Thank you and everyone else who jumped on board to help. It was greatly appriciated. Now, can you tell me how to pronounce Omnes moriuntur?

[Revolting cat!]

"Everybody dies at the end!"

[Great Caesars Ghost]

Tutti mortuorus?

[Petrosius]

morior, mori is a deponant verb: passive forms for active voice.

If you want to say "everyone will die," it would be:

Omnes morientur!

[ErnBatavia]

Et tu, Brutus?

Southern response: "I ain't et nuthin yet"...

[WhiteGuy]

I need a Latin Translation for the phrase, "Everyone Dies".

Why is Latin so frickin' complicated. How did people actually learn all the tenses and senses. How do priests and bishes?

[Petrosius]

It is really not that complicated once you see the pattern that runs through the various forms. The modern romance languages have similar systems of conjugations through inflection.

Now, can you tell me how to pronounce Omnes moriuntur?

Try here.

Old English was a lot like that, too. So were a lot of languages.

Petrosius,

I would translate "everyone dies" in the singular "Omnis", since the word everyone is a singular noun, even though it has a plural connotation. "Omnes moriuntur" means "all die" which has a slight difference in connotation in the Latin at least.

So, I would say "Omnis moriatur".
Melas, That's pronouced "awhm-neece moh-ree-ah-toor"

[Dajjal]

bumpus ad summum

[RightWhale]

Does mean they are all dead, as in when they got to the base in Starship Troopers?

[Petrosius]

If you wish to highlight that each individual dies I think that I would go with:

Unusquisque moritur!

"Moriatur" is the subjuctive and would mean "let everyone die."

[Cicero]

I would agree with #8, Omnes moriuntur.

Or you could draw from Genesis 3:3, Morte morieris, which John Donne translates "Thou shalt surely die."

There's also Psalm 88/89:49, "Quis est homo qui vivet et non videbit mortem," Who is the man who shall live, and not see death?

[fortunecookie]

The Catholics will know.

LOL, most of us, I guess. The root words are on, I don't know about the endings. You probably know more than me.

[inquest]

I would translate "everyone dies" in the singular "Omnis"

Except it wouldn't translate that way. Omnis means "all", not "every". So what you'd end up saying by writing it that way is, "All dies" (as in, all of a person, or all of some other particular living entity).
