Question
How would you translate to latin Angels are watching over me?
Hello,
the Latin sentences “Angeli me custodiunt” or “Angeli pro me vigilant“ are the correct translation of “Angels are watching over me”.
Best regards,
Maria
___________________________________________________________________
Note that:
-Angels = ANGELI (nominative plural of ANGELUS, 2nd.declension)
-are watching = VIGILANT (from VIGILO) / CUSTODIUNT (from CUSTODIO)
-over me = ME, if the verb is CUSTODIUNT / PRO ME, if the verb is VIGILANT
Latin word order can be different from English.
