Question
Please can you help? What is "let our expertise guide you" in Latin?

Answer
Hello,

The phrase "Let our expertise guide you” translates as follows:

-“Vos nostra  doceat  experientia!”, if  this exhortation is addressing to two  or more persons, i.e. a 2nd.person plural.

-“Te nostra  doceat  experientia!”, if  this exhortation is addressing to only one person, i.e. a 2nd.person singular.


Best regards,
Maria
________________________________________________
Note that:

-Let… guide = DOCEAT (hortatory subjunctive of DOCEO)

-our = NOSTRA (nominative feminine of the possessive NOSTER, agreed with EXPERIENTIA)

-expertise= EXPERIENTIA ( nominative)

-you = VOS (pronoun in the accusative, 2nd.person plural) or TE (pronoun in the accusative, 2nd.person singular).

As you can see, Latin word order can be different from English.
