Anyone here good at Latin?

Kindness · Jun 26, 2011

I tried to use Google, but my translation translates back to gibberish... I'm taking that as a bad sign! :S

Is anyone competent enough in Latin to tell me how to say: A thorn by any other name would still cut as deep?

Try this...

A thorn per ullus alius nomen would etiam incidere ut profundus?

Err . . . no.

I'd try posting a new thread in the International forum; there's a super Latin thread there with lots of good folk.

Or asking alleycat, the mod, to move this thread there.

I shall use my magic wand (if the batteries aren't dead) and move it to International.

The Latin thread is here - you might consider posting directly on it and asking the great folks there for help. Good luck!

etiam vocatur alio nomine, spina profunde pungat.

even called by another name a thorn would deeply prick

Thanks everyone! And thanks Rufus

No worries.

Maybe you should even use the subjunctive vocetur instead of the indicative vocatur.

It becomes even if called.
