Phrase help

[minidunny]

Hi Guys, Im looking for a translation from an english phrase to latin.

The phrase is 'Keep right on to the end'

Someone had suggested 'Recte age ad finem'

What do you think?

Thanks

Hi MD,
the translation you have means something like: "do the right/correct thing to the end'.

I think, and I may be wrong, what you are after is: "dextra age in finem", which means something like "keep on the right side to the end".

HI minidunny. Welcome, Salve parvolalatrina. Gratus tuus adventus.
I think "Ad finem obdura" = "Keep right on to the end"
obdurare = to persist, endure, stick it out

"Sed obstinamente perfer, obdura!" says Catullus
so you can say "Perfer!" on its own. It means "Endure to the end"!!!!

[adrianus]

If you're talking street directions Si quis viam quaesit, dicis..., you say, I believe, "Tene viam ad finem (ipsam)" "Keep on this course/road to the (very) end" or "Press straight ahead..." = "In directum niti..." or "I in directum..."

Overlooked this: "Obdura!" will do for "Keep right on to the end", also, without "ad finem" (unless you like the emphasis and want to include "ad finem"), just like "Perfer!"
