I am getting married later this year and would like to put an engraving on the wedding band for my fiancee. I would like to put "Love Is Forever" on her wedding band but would like your advice on the definitive spelling and grammar as it would break my heart to find that I have put the wrong wording/spelling. Please could you help?
Kind Regards,
Ross
Answer Hello,
as I suppose you want “Love is Forever” to be translated into Latin, not into Ancient Greek, here’s the Latin translation:
-“Aeternus est Amor”
Best wishes to you and your fiancée,
Maria
_______________________________
Note that:
-Love = AMOR (nominative masculine)
-is = EST (from the verb SUM, I am)
-forever= AETERNUS. Latin uses the adjective instead of the adverb.
As for Latin word order, it is different from English, because syntactical relationships are indicated by the inflexional endings, not by the order of the words.
