Hello Lene and Ernst!

Can I ask you a bridge, please?

"quod reperies thesauris"?

Lein, what do you mean by the words?
Why "quod" (shouldn't be "et" or sth similar?)?, why "thesauris" (shouldn't be accusative?)?

You may very well be right on both accounts
I tried to say 'search deep and you will find treasures'.

I think 'et' may be a better literal translation. I thought 'quod' might mean something more like 'so that' but I think I am making this unnecessarily complicated so please replace with 'et' if that works!

And 'thesauris' should most definitely be accusative! Silly me - how about 'thesauros'?

Why "thesauros" (plur.) and not "thesaurum" (sing.)? Is "skatten" a plural noun?

Moreover if you wanted to say "search deep" (I thought you was to say "search the deapth", because "profundum" can be a noun or an adjective, but never an adverb) you should type "in profundo". But I don't think it changes a meaning a lot, so you can leave it.

"quod" has many meanings:
conj.: the fact that, the point that; as to the fact that, whereas; because, on the ground that; why, on which account; with temporal clauses, since; as far as, to the extent that; introducing a fresh sentence, and, but, now, esp. foll. by si.

But I believe it doesn't suit for the sentence.

Hi dear. It's a quite strange sentence:

Search deeply and you'll find the treasure

The requester wants this sentence to be written on a stone wall.
Hope this can help you.

Oops, I did think this was plural (treasures). A mistake I seem to keep making with Danish

Thank you Lene!

Now it seems to be good, dear Lein. I started the poll to be sure.

Hello dear!

Can I ask you a help. I'm not sure of "profundum" in this sentence. Do you think it can be left like it is? The English bridge was given by Lene above.

Uhm, maybe "in profundo", as you have suggested, is better.
Sorry for the delay.

I'm fine with any changes (I can't edit at the moment as the poll is on). Thanks both

hi all=)

thx a lot for helping me all. i just wanted to give a clue on what im looking for. its sort of a treasure hunt. it is a clue that will be written in a stone henge- its suposed to lead to a treasure that is buried in a well. so search deep (in the well) and you will find the treasure. hope it makes more sence what my meaning is now=))9

Don't worry, tbn999. We do our best here as always.

Hi Efee!
quaere --> quaerere
Maybe "quearere penitus" would convey the source better?

Ok "penitus".
But why "quaerere"? Infinite? Or imperative 2nd person passive?
I think "quaere" (imperative 2nd person active) is correct.

Ooops! I mixed "quero" with verba deponentia! Yes, it was correct like Lein typed. Thank you, dear!
