Question Hello Maria!
From Brisbane, Australia
I've read most of your answers over the last few weeks and am seriously impressed by your knowlege of the subject, and sincerely thankful for your time. Although, I'm fairly certain that you probaly enjoy helping people like me because you genuinely love the language?
Anyway, I would like to know two translations from English to Latin please.
The first is for the Guns n Roses Song Title "Sweet Child of Mine".
And the second is for "Always and Forever"
I truly do appreciate your time Maria...
Thanking you in advance,
Kristian
Answer Hello Kristian,
I thank you very much for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoy reading my answers.
As for the translations you asked me, here they are:
-“Meae deliciae” [“Sweet Child of Mine"]
-“In aeternum semper “ [“Always and Forever”]
See below for learning more.
Best regards,
Maria
____________________________________________
Note that :
-Of mine = MEAE (nominative feminine plural of the possessive MEUS agreed with DELICIAE which is a feminine plural noun).
I have to point out that, although grammatically plural, the word DELICIAE, usually translated as "delight","pleasure","sweetheart", is singular in meaning and is the only one possible translation of “Sweet Child” in this context.
-Always = SEMPER (adverb)
-and = this conjunction is omitted as it is understood in Latin
