What is the difference between these Latin words for "Father"?

I used a free online translator to look up the latin word for "father." It came back with six words--abbas, sator, abbatis, pater, patris, and gigno.





I know that pater is basically father and patris is more like "of the father" but beyond that I'm stumped.





Can anyone explain the basic difference between these words? Also, was there any Latin word that was an informal version of "father?" Perhaps a word that meant closer to our English "dad" or "daddy?"|||Of those, only pater - none of the others was ever in general use to mean father in the literal sense. "Abbas" is an Aramaic term that was used in Christian religious contexts. . "gigno" is the verb "to father" like in "he fathered the child." "Sator" is basically "sower" (i.e. inseminater), not exactly a term of endearment. "Papa" is the only one I'm aware of, and I don't know if it was in use classically or not. (It did for sure exist in the time of the late Empire though).|||about the difference i don麓t know





i call my dad "PAPI" it麓s like daddy.

How do you say this sentence in Latin? *no online translators*?

Please tell me your source. I know it's hard to translate "soulmate" but if you can't translate it literally (which is not preferable) please tell me what you translated it as. Thanks!





"My soulmate treats me like a princess"|||Dilectus meus me filia regis utitur.





Dilectus is from the verb diligo. It may mean beloved (and is so translated in the Vulgate), but it is a milder form of affection (amo is stronger) and carries more of a connotation of having special regard for.|||I didn't even know they still TAUGHT Latin. Are you studying to be a priest? There IS no exact translation for "soulmate", by the way, just like there is no such thing as "grey" in Latin (it's "light black"), as YOU no doubt found when you tried to use an olline translator. Ask your instructor.|||Have you heard of GOOGLE TRANSLATER?????? DUHHH

How would you say "since feeling is first" in Latin?

"Since feeling is first" is my favorite poem by e.e. cummings - I would like to get the title tattooed in Latin, but online translators are rarely reliable. Would any Latin students be able to provide me with a grammatical translation?|||Quoniam sensus primus est.|||There is a person in this forum who majored in Latin, try to find her. I wish I could help more, but I'm only a first year Latin student and I wouldn't want to tell you something and have it be wrong.





A very good online translator is http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/worde鈥?/a>





It will give you every possible form of the English word and the Latin equivalent. However, the case and tenses may not match, so again, check with a professional if you can find one.|||I TAKE LATIN 1 AND IM IN EIGHTH GRADE! GO ME

Could someone fluent in Latin help me with a mystery paragraph?

I found a paragraph of text in some old family documents and I can't quite make sense of it? I want to find a proper translation, not one done over an internet translator site as i could just do that myself. Could I PV someone who is fluent enough in Latin to perhaps make sense of it?|||Sure|||I tell me.....

Steve|||Dozeo is absolutely right!|||Monstrum sum (I am a monster)

Maledictus sum (I am cursed)

Humanus sum (I am human)



Humanus eram (I was human)

"but before a was these" does not make any sense

"I know that I hung, on the wind-swept tree, for nine whole nights, pierced by the spear..."|||This sentence is great for demonstrating the "rule" in Latin that you should express first Time, then Manner, and finally Place.





"I know that I for nine nights hung, by the spear transfixed, in-the-beaten-tree by the wind":





"scio me novem noctes suspendisse, telo transfixus pulso in arbore vento."|||S茅 que me cuelgan, en el viento-barrido 谩rbol, durante nueve noches enteras, traspasado por la lanza

What does "templo" mean in Latin?

I just need to know what "templo" means for an assignment and I don't have my text book. I can't find a good Latin Translator anywhere!|||Templo is either the singular dative or the singular ablative of "templum," which means temple.





It could be translated a myriad of different ways depending on context. I'll give you two possible meanings:





To the temple


At the temple

What do these latin words mean in english?

I got this small assignment from my physics teacher,


I need to translate the words:


Nunc Coepi


Destinatus terminatio


From latin to english.


I cant find the translation anywhere. i tried using a translator but it didn't make any sense.





if you don't feel like doing this or think i should can you at least give me a good translation site?|||The first two words mean "Now I began" or"Now I have begun." The other two don't fit together and don't fit with the first two, either. "Destinatus" is a past participle meaning what it looks like: "destined." "Terminatio" is a noun that also means what it looks like in English: "termination," i. e. "end" or maybe "outcome" or "goal." Both are in the nominative case--form that must be used for subjects. However, "destinatus" is masculine, and"terminatio" is feminine. If the first of those words were "destinata," the two together could be a phrase meaning "destined end" or "destined goal"; or, since in Latin sentences forms of "to be" can be understood, it could mean "the end is destined."





Now, are all four of those words meant to go together? If they are, they need more revision. If "coepi" were changed to "coepit," you would have a sentence meaning "Now the destined end has begun." Or if "destinata terminatio" were changed to "destinatam terminationem," the sentence would mean "Now I have begun the destined end." You might find better synonyms for "destined end" in either case.|||Nunc: Now, Today, At Present


Coepi: Begin, Commence, Initiate, Set foot on





Destinatus: Stubborn, Obstinate, Determined, Resolved, Resolute, Firm, Destined or With one's mind made up


Terminatio: Making the Boundaries of a Territory, termination, determination, setting of boundaries|||"Now I begin the end of my journey." I think.

Native latin speaker? can you translate these quotes from english to latin?

I have tried the online english to latin translator but not sure if it is correct or just half correct. If you can help me translate these quotes I would very much appreciate your help! Thankyou in advance. 1. - "The beauty does not live out there, the beauty's in my eyes." 2. - "I find hope in the darkest of days and focus in the bright." 3.- "I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains."|||There are now no native speakers of Latin.

Hi, can someone help me with translating some words into Latin please?

I'm writing a short story and wonder how to translate "map of death" or "death map" (I know, how cliche) into Latin.





Please no Babelfish/online internet translator answers please. I am aware of the many different noun cases regarding Latin words so I would like an accurate and grammatically correct answer.|||Tabula geographica mortis








Tabula geographica---%26gt; map





mortis---%26gt; of death

What is the latin translation of "respect yourself"?

I'd like to get a tattoo that conveys something along the lines of "respect yourself", "love yourself", or "value yourself". I can translate it into Latin using online translators, but I'm having difficulty with the "yourself" part. Can anyone help me out? I'd like to get it right before inscribing it onto my body forever haha|||There ae sevdral Latin verbs that mean "respect," but some of them look like other English words and can be confusing. However, "Reverere te" will work bery nicely. It's pronounced "reverRAYre tay." (Just keep in mind that in Latin, the e is always pronounced as either "ay" or "eh," never as "uh.")

How do you translate the Russian Cyrillic alphabet into the Latin alphabet?

Babelfish can translate from Russian to English, but not from Cyrillic alphabet to Latin alphabet. How do you do this, and is there some sort of translator-site which does this?|||Yes, you can use http://www.translit.cc/ or http://www.translit.ru/ to perform transliterations to and from Cyrillic.





I highly recommend, however, that you spend an hour some time learning the basic Cyrillic alphabet and the associated sounds and pronunciation rules, because there is no solid standard for transliteration, and people usually tend to just write out the sounds as they are used to hearing them, rather than as they are supposed to be read.|||Not really. The switching of alphabets is accurately termed transliteration, and there is no really standardised system for it between Cyrillic and English. However, Wikipedia and other sites have a basic idea of the transliteration, and from there you should be able to figure it out. Or find a translator that uses Russian Cyrillic script to English Latin script. I think Google Translate does.|||This link can help too:


http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/russia鈥?/a>|||You can use "To Latin" mode here:

What is the translation from english to latin: dogs of war?

I am looking for the most recognized forms for this popular phrase. (It will represent two dogs). I can get the online translator redentition but I am looking for an answer from those experienced with Latin. Also, would canis pugnaxis be correct?|||"Canes belli", though it's not a phrase that occurs in Latin.





"Canis pugnaxis" is wrong.|||Bellus, with Belli being the dative 'of war', I think, would be more appropriate for war. However, Latin class was a LONG time ago...

What is the latin translation of "You can run your whole life, but not go anywhere."?

I can't find a on-line translator for english to latin and i would like to know how to say this phrase in latin, or at least a similar phrase that maintains the same context.|||Dum vives currere potes sine pervenire nusquam.|||you can run but you can not hide|||El treadmill a la viva. LOL!!!!!|||This translates from English to Latin buut will not work a midday when it is too busy to register new requests. Try it in the morning.


http://www.translation-guide.com/free_on鈥?/a>|||potes currere tota vita, sed ubicumque non is.|||totum vitam currire potestis, sed numqam iretis.


That is just a rough translation, not sure about the last word, but it is pretty close.|||Go with the Turkey, that's really good Latin. (Even good enough for an epitaph! ;-))

English to Latin translation from movie "Troy" NEED PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR?

"There are no pacts between lions and men."





Google Translator is wrong by the way.





Does anyone know where I could go for a professional translator? I want this tattooed on me so I don't want it to be wrong lol.|||OK, take it easy. If you don't want Greek, you don't want Greek. Magister's Latin translation is absolutely right.|||Are you sure you don't want it in Greek, as Achilles was Greek?


Maybe I am just insulting your intelligence, sorry if I am, but you would hate to get the translation right and the language wrong.


I just don't understand the Latin connection, other than Aeneas being from Troy.





BTW, http://archives.nd.edu/latgramm.htm is a great translation site, but you need some knowledge of Latin to use it.|||It would be "Nulla pacta inter homines et leones" (you have not to use the verb "to be" in latin).





However, maybe Tommy's right, Achilles was greek, and not Roman. If you don't know how to read greek letters, just tell me and I'll show you the pronunciation!!

Can you translate this small Latin passage?(NO ONLINE TRANSLATOR)?

Pueros et puellas docere amamus. Discipuli magistram amant. Docere discipulos est gratum (pleasing). Litterae* nos (us) de historia Romanorum docebunt. In ludo multi (many) discipuli sunt. discipuli linguam Latinam* discere* maturant|||We love to teach the boys and girls. The pupils love their teacher. It's pleasant to teach the pupils. Letters will teach us about the history of the Romans. Many pupils are at play. The pupils are hastening to learn the Latin language|||Hello.





Chuck above got it alright! I just want to point out not to worry, that it is impossible to use an online translator as Latin is too heavily inflected as well as having different syntax. No translator can adjust for this and even simpler languages come out dreadful.





Cheers,
