Science Abuse Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Awesome, I applaud that. Your sig pic contains two different languages, and the Latin translates; Liber* or dead. I'm just sayin'. *Liber just means "free", and in a latin sentence rarely means anything on it's own; it needs an ending, a suffix, to make it fit in the sentence. The way you have it listed, it's a proper noun. Lucky you, it's a god of booze and fucking. Mortuus just means "dead", and needs to refer to some one or something... like Liber. If you take out "vel", your sentence says "Liber is dead" (probably cirrhosis or syphilis). You have many good options for "death". For your purpose, I'd go with Nex, since it refers to violent death as in; Nex pro inhonesto / death(in battle) before dishonor. Latin doesn't work like English, you can't take the same approach when building a sentence.

If you take out "vel", your sentence says "Liber is dead" (probably cirrhosis or syphilis). I'm aware. The first would be Greek, the second obviously Latin. Luckily, I do not care too much about proper sentence structure of Latin. I chose liber simply because I prefer that to the other words meaning free of liberated. Vel as you know means "or" and mortuus you have pointed out, means "dead". Ignoring proper structure (intentionally done as there are few people around who study Latin) "liber vel mortuus" essentially means "free or dead".

To me, it will always say that you would rather be dead than not drunk'n'fucking like ol' Liber.... watch out for that syphilis You could stick with Greek: Ελευθερια η θανατος Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could stick with Greek: Ελευθερια η θανατος I wanted Greek but I am not familiar enough with the language. I probably will switch it to that, thank you. I'm not going to lie, I did not think I would encounter someone who had studied Latin. I don't know though, it might be good with the literal Latin translation, lol.

Science Abuse Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I wanted Greek but I am not familiar enough with the language. I'm almost entirely lost on greek.... fortunately, Greece's national motto IS "Freedom or death", it's written all over their patriotic stuff.... right next to "FUCK TURKEY!" usually.

Draco-REX Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Someone buy that man a beer. We need more parents like that. Not ones that let their kids do everything, and not ones that just blindly deny them things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
