Question
Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me how to say "one among seven" or "one out of seven" in Latin? Thank you!
Hello,
Either “One among seven" or "One out of seven" translate as follows into Latin:
-“Unus ex septem “, if “one” refers to a male person.
-“Una ex septem”, if “one” refers to a female person.
Have a nice day,
Maria
