Expert: Maria - 4/17/2008

Question
Hello!

I'm creating a photo album for my niece and was hoping you could translate
a few words/phrases for me.  Thank you so much for your help!

--Through the Rain, Dare to Dream

-- Knowledge, Strength, Beauty, Laughter, and Hope

Thank you again!

Answer
Hello!

Glad to help you.

So, here are the translations you asked me:

1-“Etsi per Imbrem, Somniare Aude”
(Through the Rain, Dare to Dream)

2-“Scientia, Fortitudo, Pulchritudo, Risus, et Spes”
( Knowledge, Strength, Beauty, Laughter, and Hope )

See below for learn more.

All the best,
Maria
_________________________________________________
Note that:

-Through = ETSI PER (preposition which takes the accusative case)

-the Rain = IMBREM (accusative of IMBER, 3rd.declension)

-Dare = AUDE (imperative, 2nd.person singular of AUDEO, I dare)

-to Dream = SOMNIARE (infinitive of SOMNIO).

As you can se, Latin word order can be different from English.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

-Knowledge = SCIENTIA ((nominative, 1st.declension)

-Strength = FORTITUDO ((nominative, 3rd.declension)

-Beauty = PULCHRITUDO (nominative, 3rd.declension)

-Laughter = RISUS (nominative, 4th.declension)

-and = ET

-Hope = SPES (nominative, 5th.declension)
