Latin request (Vanity)
Melas ^ | today | Melas

Posted on 12/01/2005 2:06:39 PM PST by Melas

Please forgive the rare vanity, but I need to tap into the vast database of freeper knowledge. I need a Latin Translation for the phrase, "Everyone Dies".

I've had poor luck with internet translators, and since it's for ink, it has to be right the first time. Thanks.

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.

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

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

Omnes morientur!

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

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.

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"

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

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."

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?

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.

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).
