| | Hi Alex!
I'm a bit confused, dear. Please, explain your translation of the first sentence to me. Why did you put "ad aeternum"? (It means "on to eternity" )
And what does "familia" refer to? (Familia=stellae?) |
| | 13 Július 2011 20:14 |
| |
I meant to say "in perpetuum", but I actually tried to avoid the repetition IN perpetuum IN coelis meis. Silly idea, uh?
Yes, "familia" is referred to "stellae" because in the remarks field the requester says that his family is made up of 5 stars (i.e. 5 members).

| | MUITO obrigado alex!!!!!!!!!
uma pergunta, qual o significado de "coelis meis splendebunt"? |
| | 13 Július 2011 22:23 |
| | Oi hugoferrera,
O significado literal de "in coelis meis splendebunt" é "nos céus meus brilharão". O sujeto subentendido é "elas" (as estrelas).
Todavia, antes de utilizar a minha tradução, sugiro que você espere a especialista (Aneta B.) validá-la.
Atenciosamente |
| | 13 Július 2011 22:25 |
| | Entendi!
Mais uma vez obrigado alex!
isso foi uma ironia? hahaha |
| | 14 Július 2011 13:33 |
| | Oh, I see, Alex. But if you want to avoid the repetiotion you can just reject one "in":
-->...in perpetuum coelis meis (caelo meo) splendebunt/lucebunt.
or
--> ...in caelis meis (in caelo meo)perpetuo/semper splendebunt/lucebunt.
Do you like any of the options?
|

| | Wow! You understand Portuguese too? (I see you caught the meaning!)
Which is the best spelling? C aelum or c oelum?
I've always chosen "coelum" because of the Latin name of a notorious jail in Rome, called "Regina Coeli".
"coelis" vs. "coelo" ...what about the number? Am I allowed to use ablativus singularis here?
Finally, does "semper" mean in Latin both "always" and "forever"? I know there's not much difference but actually there is.
So many doubts! Sorry |

| | Hi Alex!
Both: c oelum and c aelum is correct, dear.
If it refers to "the sky", You can use either the singular or plural. However, if it refers to "the heaven", you can also put both the numerals, but just for Christian texts it is better to use the plural (tradition).
I believe "semper" = sempre
Sometimes it can mean also "forever". It depends on a context.

Oi hugoferrera,

| | Hi Alex,
I'm glad I could help a bit.

Dear hugoferrera,
I believe Alex's translation is ok now. For certain it is grammatically correct.
But since I don't know the language of an original I need to ask for an English bridge to be sure that the translation conveys the meaning of the Portuguese text. I know, that seems to be a long process to get the translation on Cucumis. But we try to make the best translation possible for you.

Hi Lilly,
Can I have a bridge please? Thank you!

Hi Efee,
Could you, please, finish the evaluation, cause I am leaving for two weeks? Thank you in advance!
