Know Latin? Need translation.

Vos eras mei.

Formally. Would you prefer the vulgar form?

vos ero mei

ero is first person singular, future tense--I will be.

eras is second person signular, future tense--you will be.

Translators don't really get into the meat of the Latin language.

Mea iucundita.

Well gang, as long as we're doing translations-

Can anyone give me an English to Latin of "This sword is a big pain"?
How about "This sword is a big pain in the butt"?

Seriously.

*scowls*

Surely you're not serious.

Gladius poena magna glutteum est.

I *am* serious.
And stop calling me "surely."

Thank you.

(although it's been a few decades and you didn't specify the type of sword)
ipse gladius dolor in clune est (If the sword is actually in his butt)
hic gladius dolor in clune est (If he is commenting about a sword within reach that is not in his butt)

I read that once when someone was doing typeface greeking. So that's what that means.

Vos is plural. Why would you use the singular eras with the plural vos?

Eras is imperfect tense, not future. Eras means you were being, not you will be.

If you want to say, you will be mine, to a single person, you would use eris, or to more than one person, eristis.

I just need a simple translation, if any of you know Latin,

"You will be mine."

Tis all, and thank you.

Eris mihi would be a nice way of saying it, if addressed to a single person.

This literally translates to "you (plural) I (singular) will be mine.

It literally doesn't make sense. Do not trust an online translator.

As long as you're offering Latin translations,

I have a couple of phrases for my novel I've always would have liked to know the Latin for, if you wouldn't mind:

To Bring Out the Dead

Calling a specter made possible with electricity

Efferre infera is one possibility.

The best I can do at the moment for this one is cum electricae impigritate fieri potest idolon vocare.

With electric energy it is made possible to call a spectre.

Latin is very nuanced. You are asking us to translate sentence fragments. Don't blame us when the translations turn out to be a bit off. We need complete sentences and some context.

Sorry, "to Bring Out the Dead" is the title of a very old (and ficticious) book.


"Calling a specter made possible with electricity" is a caption under an illustration in the above book.

te possidebo (I think that looks right)
I will own you

I'm guessing at your English of "You will be mine" that the witch is saying in context that "you" will become a possession of the witch, not to be confused with being possessed by the witch in some religious or demonic sense
