how would you translate

??

thank you

is it

moved by (this) majestic place?

how would you translate
maiestate loci commoti

moved by (this) majestic place?

maiestate is ablative but it’s a noun
locus is second declension, so which case would it be?

You were close. Try again.

Magistra

“moved by the dignity of the place” ?

thanx guys…

i came up with

moved by the majesty of the place

but then i used the oxford latin course book3 translation for maiestate which happens to be majesty… odd… doesnt sound right…

anyways there is another slight problem…

impera ei ut eos curet disciplinamque militarem doceat

i got something along the lines of


Order him to care for them in order to teach them military discipline

salue lau_kai

Your translation is good. You should, however, just be aware that ut … curet is a clause with a finite verb and not an infinitive (the infinitive is of course the nicer of the two in an English translation).

Also, look at disciplinamque. The -que means “and” in Latin, not “in order to” and connects two words in the sentence. See?
