Question
Can you translate "truth lover" or "lover of truth" to latin for me? Also can you translate "God's Chosen" as well? Thank you for your assistance.

Answer
Hello,

Here are the translations you asked me:

-“Veritatis amans” ("truth lover" or "lover of truth”) where VERITATIS(genitive of VERITAS) means ”of truth” and AMANS (nominative) means “lover”.

-“Dei electus” ("God's Chosen"), if related to one male person
-“Dei electi (God's Chosen"), if related to two or many male persons.
-“Dei electa” (God's Chosen"), if related to one female person.
-“Dei electae” (God's Chosen"), if related to two or many female persons.

Note that DEI (genitive of DEUS ) is ‘God’s’, while ELECTUS/ ELECTA/ ELECTI /ELECTAE (past participle of ELIGO) mean ‘chosen’.

Best regards,
Maria
