Question
Hi!
Can you please translate me in latin: Always help each other?

Thank you very much!

Answer
Hello,

“Vos invicem adiuvate semper! “ is the correct translation of “Always help each other” as a command / exhortation.

See below for grammatical analysis.

Best regards,
Maria
________________________________________________
Note that:

-Always = SEMPER

-help = ADIUVATE (2nd.person plural, imperative of ADIUVO, I help)

-each other = VOS (direct object in the accusative of the 2nd.person plural pronoun)  INVICEM (adverb)

As you can see, Latin word order is different from English, just because in Latin syntactical relationships are indicated by the endings, not by the order of the words.
