Question
Hi I was wondering how you would say "The key to our friendship" and "Here's to our friendship" and "This will keep us together"

Really appreciate it thanks

Answer
Hello,

here are the translations you asked me:

-“Nostrae amicitiae causa” (The key to our friendship)

-“Ecce  nostrae  amicitiae causa” ("Here's the key to our friendship)

-“Hoc nos coniunget” ("This will keep us together")

Best,
Maria
____________________________________________________

-The key = CAUSA (nominative)
-to our = NOSTRAE (genitive of NOSTER, our)
-friendship = AMICITIAE (genitive of AMICITIA)

-Here's = ECCE
-the key = CAUSA
-to our friendship = NOSTRAE AMICITIAE

-This  = HOC (neuter of HIC)
-will keep …. together = CONIUNGET (future of CONIUNGO)
-us = NOS (accusative)
