Question about something, and request of minor translation

Post by Arcanium »

First of all, is Ave Sathanas the same thing as saying Hail Satan?
second of all, how would i say "Alicia, I worship you. You are my godess forevemore." in latin?

If by "hail" you mean "hello".

Alicia, te adoro. Mihi eris dea in perpetuum.

Are women over there actually impressed by latin? Here you may as well not try, I just mock latin students with them, the irony of it is fun! A girl impressed by latin love messages...can't get my head around that...

Satan is "Satanas", and it is declined like Aeneas, so the vocative is "Satana".

"Hail, Satan" then is "Ave Satana" (the stress is on "sat-") :twisted:
