Original tekst - Francuski - C'est la merguez qui fait manger la baguette.

"Farcimen panem edere ( ou "vorare" ) facit"
(la saucisse fait manger le pain)

Mais bon... mon latin est loin derrière!

Hi dear experts in Latin! how would you say : "it's sausage that makes one eat the bread"

Thanks!

"it's sausage that makes one eat the bread"

"Farcimen id est quod personam panem edere facit"

or:

"Farcimen res est quae personam panem edere facit"

Merci, thanks, dziękuję !

So far so good and I'm liking it.

In a perfect world I would try to mix both translation because the exact sense I would like to obtain is (and I know it looks barbaric in English) : "It's the sausage that makes/gets the bread eaten"
That way, we get rid off that 'personam' in Aneta translation... but I don't know if there is a passive voice in Latin (well, I guess there is but I don't know what it is...).
I also prefer 'vorare' to 'edere' for the image that goes with it, a more eager way of eating (even if it's not as correct).

Would something like :

"Farcimen est qui panem vorare facit" works ?

Or is it too 'Latin de cuisine' ?

Vous etes bienvenue! You’re Welcome! Nie ma za co!
I’m sorry, Jeffw, but your proposition is out of Latin grammar a bit.
“Farcimen” is gender neutral so can’t take “qui” which is masculine, but "quod". Morover, your proposition (since without" this "personam" ) means: "it's sausage that makes the bread eating" haha!

My third proposition (in the passive voice and with a more meaningful verb “vorare” (=devour) ):
"Farcimen (id) est quod panem voratum facit".

Ok. I will make the translation official now and start a poll for it.
My warm greetings! Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
