Question
Would you please tell me how to say, "God protect me" in Latin?  

Answer
Hello,

"God protect me" translates as follows:

-"Deus, protege me quaeso!".


Note that:

-God= DEUS (vocative case, 2nd.declension)

-Protect = PROTEGE (2nd.person singular, imperative of PROTEGO, I protect)

-me = ME (direct object, personal pronoun in the accusative case)

As for the word QUAESO,  I’ve added this interjection as an expression of entreaty just meaning ‘I beseech you', ‘I pray', ‘please’.


Have a nice day,
Maria
