I'm getting tired of my sig-line (some days it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps in the morning ) being in Klingon.. I wanna translate it to Latin, but I'm having a heck of a time translating it.. anybody out there have a good guess?

Uhhh... "days" is probably "dias"...

Isn't that just the Spanish? remember in Italian it's 'giorno' and in French it's 'jour' which given how divergent Italian and French are suggests they may be closer to the original Latin than the Spanish 'dias'.

Well, "Carpe diem" means "Sieze the day" (as anyone who went through high school Literature should know), so not in this case, no.

I'll bet there's market space for a sig-designer clique. Secret handshakes and all. Music ringtones can go shit.

Well, I did say "probably". But, I guess probably not.

"Dies" is the Latin word for day.

"Aliqui dies non sunt pretium mandendi per lora scortea mane."
That's the best I can come up with. Bear in mind that I've never taken a Latin class in my life, so that sentence is the result of looking through a Latin-English dictionary and a lot of guesswork. I'm pretty much certain it's wrong.

Almost correct, except for the verb.
Here's something more concise (closer to the Klingon original):
"Interdum non valet mane mandere lora scortea."

But it can't compare to the Klingon original, right?

Thanks guys, I lost track of this thread. My latin consists of memorized phrases. [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] "Aliqui dies non sunt pretium mandendi per lora scortea mane."
um.. which verb? Is a literal back-to-english translation out of the question?
