Question
Good morning!

My name is Suzelia and I am from Holland, Amsterdam.
I found this website on the internet and I would like to ask
you if you can give me the latin translation of sister love &
love for my sister. Nobody can help me and I really want to know!
I hope you can help me, I need it for a title of a book I am
making for my sisters birthday Thursday. Al I need now is the title.
Thank you very much!

Suzelia

Answer
Hello,

“Sister love” translates as “Sororis amor” or “Amor sororius”, while  “Love for my sister” translates as “Amor erga meam sororem”.

Best wishes to your sister and you,
Maria

-love =AMOR (nominative case, 3rd.declension)

-love = AMOR (nominative case, 3rd.declension)

-for = ERGA (preposition which takes the accusative case)

-my = MEAM (feminine, accusative case of the possessive adjective MEUS agreed with SOROREM)

-sister= SOROREM (accusative of the feminine noun SOROR, 3rd.declension)
