Latin phrase translation for tattoo?
Is there anyone with a Latin linguistics major or history in Latin linguistics that can verify these translations I’ve found online? Thinking of getting a tattoo on my chest of a Latin phrase…
post tenebras lux – after darkness, light
benigno numine – by the favor of the heavens
alis grave nil – nothing is heavy for those with wings
audentes fortuna iuvat – fortune favors the bold
also, are latin phrases usually just done by women? I’ve seen a lot of responses on similair posts by women
Well, I’m a man, and I’ve seen a lot of posters on Latin questions that are ostensibly men, so I’d say no, although there are a lot of women who reply to these posts.
In answer to your question:
1) post=preposition meaning after, takes an accusative object; tenebras= means darkness in the plural, in the accusative plural; lux=nominative singular, meaning light, so this one is correct.
2) benigno= adjective meaning kind/favorable, ablative singular masculine/neuter; numine=noun meaning divine will/god, ablative singular neuter, using the ablative of means, literally=by the kind/favorable divine will, so this one is correct also.
3) nil=nothing; grave=nominative singular neuter adjective meaning heavy; alis= dative plural of noun meaning wings, so with an implied est and using the dative of interest, literally= nothing is heavy for wings, so I’d say with a little synecdoche this one is also correct.
4)audentes=accusative plural of noun/participle meaning daring/bold; fortuna=nominative singular of noun meaning fortune; iuvat=singular third person present of noun meaning aid/assist, so this one is also correct.
So, yep these are all correct, and now you might be able to convince people that you know latin when you’re explaining your tattoo
Cheers.
