Oh how I've missed you Wicky!

 

It would be wise to get that in every language...so you can go univeral....

 

Degustibus est non disputandum

Or, loosely, there's no accounting for some people's taste

 

hey Jen. My latin is pretty ratty, but I'm pretty sure fides is the noun version of trust, as in "trust is difficult to have" where "trust" is the subject and "is" is the verb. You need the verb form which would be fido, confido or crede.

I don't know vestra, but I do know ego, which means "myself". Is vestra modifying "myself" to "yourself"?? I'm not sure yet, I'll keep looking. Otherwise I found you can say "yourself" as tu ipse or tute, I quite like the former.

so you could say

"semper fido vestra ego"

or using the other "yourself"

"semper fido tu ipse"

also I found a cool way to say always, or forever,

"in aeturnum confido tu ipse"

maybe someone can chime in and help out with the structure, I'm not sure I'm arranging these correctly, or if they would truly convey the meaning you are looking for.

 

here's a better idea of structure, if I'm correct the verb should come at the end....

semper tu ipse fido

or

in aeturnum tu ipse confido

I'm still not sure about the structure, but I think this is closer. I'm not sure how to start something with "always" in latin

 

or

trust = verb
yourself = subject (you), this is actually reflexive I think, because it refers back to the subject (you) which is implied I think. (as in "you trust yourself") and I think "always" must be an adverb, at least that's how I'm treating it.

so it could actually be: subject, adverb, verb, like:

tu ipse semper confido

I think I might be hitting a wall in my understanding, and my english "book" knowledge is rusty too, so I could be way off.... but it's a fun exercise.....

 

if that is correct the literal translation is, "yourself, always trust" which is rather poetic.....

 

"yourself always trust"

 

could I post just one more time in this thread???

 

tu ipse in aeturnum confido
