Re: A few small translations
Hi and welcome to the forum. There are many ways to say things in Latin, so I will just offer some examples that I think sound good.
I would go with aequanimitas which breaks down into two words, aequus animus, "a level spirit". We also get the word "equanimity" in English from this word.dingovigo wrote: 1st off...just something that means 'inner balance'
Chaos supero'I conquer the chaos'
Ordo et Vis'Balance and Power'
Hmm, not quite sure what you mean. Deus is a masculine noun of the second declension and it is in the nominative singular here; perfidus is an adjective and matches deus in inflection. It translates to "unfaithful god". It is correct... so long as you don't put it in a sentence with other Latin words without knowing what you're doingalso i was wondering what the correct grammar for the words 'deus perfidus' would be.
