Help Translating a Phrase
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 8:44 am
Hi,
there's a certain phrase i'd like to translate into latin, but my skills turned out not be so good, i've only managed to figured out a few scattered words, which might even be wrong, here's how the phrase goes:
"my ideals are my spear, my convictions are my shield"
i cant think of a plural for "idealis", but turned 'convictions' into "convictiones". for 'shield' i used 'scutum', though for 'spear' i'm not sure which word to use.
what i got to was:
"idealis(pl) mei sunt mea lancea, convictiones scutum"
which is probably awful.
thanks already!
