I know that "Quo vadis?" renders as ""Where are you going?".


Would "Quo vadimus?" render as "Where are we (all) going?"

I'm not sure about the "all" in parentheses.
I guess that would depend on context.
But otherwise, yes.

Hi. I am sculpting a statue of Chavez in the "Romanesque" style (mocking him, obviously) as Christ almighty. I need to add a phrase in latin, such us:

GOD SAVE US FROM CHAVEZ

Can someone help translate it?

If you have any other suggestions, they will be welcome too..

Fruit and Meat Still Life
Fructus et Caro Vita Immota.
["Vita Immota" means "Still Life", but literally. I don't think it would have the same connotation in Latin.]

untitled fruit and meat series
series fructorum et carnum sine titulus

meat and two veg in latin
caro et duo holeres in lingua Latina

apples - mala

melon - melo

watermelon (if poss) - Citrullus Lanatus (genus/species)

grapes - acinus

material - materies

blue - caeruleus

green - viridis

red - ruber

black - ater

It means, "Never trust an automated Latin translator."




Just kidding, of course.

Vox -- voice, cry, or call
iam -- by now, already, or now
subrideo -- I smile
laxus -- wide, loose, or spacious. In the context of time, it can mean
later or postponed.

Literally, it would be
Vive in momento
but I think
Vive in praesentia
is closer to what you mean

At this point, it's a matter of personal choice.

"Fle" and "lachrima" both mean "cry", so you can pick the one you want.
Just as you could pick between "cry" and "weep" in English.
I did a little searching and it seems "subride" is the better choice
for "smile", while "ride" is the better choice for "laugh". "Nunc"
and "postea" mean "now" and "later" respectively, as you've probably
figured out. Whether you place them before or after the verb is also a
matter of style, but they usually come before the verb.

Thank you, George. Please, may I clarify?

The idea is to be "present" in this rich moment here and now, rather than missing it by thinking to what's ahead or to what's already past.

"Vive in praesentia" best communicates that concept?

thanks again,

Yes I do.
Many people use the Latin phrase "Carpe diem" to express that idea as well.
