Question
Can you tell me what the Latin translation is for the following? "What is meant to be will always find a way"

Answer
Hello,

Here’s the translation of “What is meant to be will always find a way”:

-“Quod accidere fatum est, semper accidet “

Best regards,
Maria
____________________________________
Note that:

-What = QUOD (relative pronoun in the nominative neuter)

-is meant = FATUM EST  (literally, “is fate “/is fated)

-to be = ACCIDERE (infinitive of ACCIDERE, to happen/ to be)

-will.. find a way = ACCIDET (future of ACCIDO)

-always = SEMPER

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