Question
Hi, my name is Steven and I was in need of a phrase translation. I have been searching for an online translation program, but I had no such luck. I stumbled onto your site and was hoping you would help me. I need the phrase "More Than Words" translated to Latin for me please. I need to get it inscribed onto a piece of jewelry for my Wife's upcoming birthday before I deploy to Afghanistan. Please Help Me!!! It would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Answer
Hi Steven,

Glad to help you.

So, here’s the Latin translation of the phrase “More Than Words”:

-“Plus quam verba”, if you want to point out that feelings are worth “more than words”.

-“Plus quam verbis”, if you want to point out that you are showing your love through "more than words".

Please note that:
-PLUS = more
-QUAM = than
-VERBIS (in the ablative) / VERBA (in the nominative) = words.

I think in fact you refer to the song which has the same title "More Than Words".

All the best to you and your wife,
Maria
