Ancient Languages - Latin translation


Expert: Maria - 4/6/2009

Question
Hi Maria,
My name is Imogene and i was wondering if you could please help me translate a sentence from english into Latin?
It is for a tattoo, and i really would like to get it right.
The sentence is: "More than you will ever know"
I have tried to translate it myself online and with books, though when translated literally back into english, the words are not just simile's as i know they can be, but actually losing alot of their meaning and taking on another.
I would really appreciate your help if you have time.
Thank you,
Imogene.

Answer
Hello,

As you say, this is for a tattoo. But unfortunately you did not pay attention to  what  I wrote  in my ‘Instructions to Questioner’ which appear on your "Ask a question page" where you can read:
"No homework questions please nor TATTOOS....."
So, I’m sorry, but I do not want to help you with this question  just because  I don't like tattoos and then, as  a volunteer  expert of a 100% FREE  site, I obviously can choose to decline translating any phrase / word  for this purpose.
Anyway, you can go to Vivat Latina at www.traditio.com/latin.htm where you can find a  translation service at minimal fees.

Good luck!
Maria
