Quick translation :)

Post by Брэндон »

Salvete!

I just needed a quick translation for "My love shall forever be yours."

Would this work? Amor meus semper tui eris.


Thanks,

That literally means "my love will always be for you". I think it is good translation.

Yeah I think that eris should be erit...

And wouldn't "tui" be "of you". Maybe tibi (to/for you) might be more appropriate?
