Question
can you please translate "God only knows"
I reseacrhed and came up with "Deus solum nosce" its probably incorrect help please
Hello Chris,
Some days ago ( 7/21/06) you have already ask me this question and I’ve sent you my answer the same day (7/21/06). Did not you receive it? Anyway, I’ll repeat the answer I sent you and hope you receive it this time.
The correct translation of the phrase "God only knows" is : “Deus solum noscit”.
In fact DEUS is ‘God’; SOLUM is ‘only’; NOSCIT (present indicative, 3rd.pers.sing.of NOSCO, I know) is ‘knows’.
Best regards,
Maria
