Question
Hi just wonderingn how to say and write because I am me, in both latin and greek

Answer
Hello,

Here’s the translation you asked me:

LATIN:
“Because I am me “ =
“Quia  ego sum ”
or
“Quia ego ipse (in the masculine) / ipsa (in the feminine) sum”.

ANCIENT GREEK:

“Hoti ego eimi”

Please note that:

-Because = QUIA in Latin / HOTI in ancient Greek

-I …me = EGO  either  in Latin or in Greek; also, EGO IPSE/ EGO IPSA in Latin.

-Am= SUM in Latin / EIMI in Greek

I must point out that the system does not allow the use of the Greek characters  and then I transliterated the Greek letters into corresponding letters of Latin alphabet.

Best,
Maria
