Question
Maria, how would the following translate into 14th century Latin: "Never shall we die" ?

Answer
Hello,

In classical or 14th century medieval Latin  the correct translation of "Never shall we die" is the following:

-“Numquam moriemur”

Note that NUMQUAM corresponds to “never” and MORIEMUR (1st.person plural, future of MORIOR, I die) means “shall we die”.

Best regards,
Maria
