Question
I am working on a art work for an art contest in my school and I have drawn my two best friends and I, and I want to put "friends for ever" in latin on top of our faces. So how would I say that in Latin?????

Answer
Hello,

“Friends for ever” translates as follows:

-“Amicae in aeternum”, if “friends” refers to female friends only.

-“Amici in Aeternum”, if “friends” refers to male friends as well as to male and female friends together.

Have a nice day,
Maria

-Friends = AMICAE (nominative plural of the feminine noun AMICA, 1st.declension) or AMICI (nominative plural of the masculine noun AMICUS, 2nd.declension)

-for ever = IN AETERNUM
