Tercüme - İngilizce-Latince - Family motto

Wait "superbia" it s a bad word ,it s a vice,a negative aspect.
I put "animus" for pride not "superbia".
I think the man requested the translation wouldn t be happy if his family is said " arrogant "

Not necessary, negative word. You must have heard about the "Latin superbia" which was not in all the meanings "arrogance", but also "honor". I will think although about a better word. I must say animus is not appropriate here, the meaning is spiritus and does not have a strong relation with pride. So maybe we both could find somenthing better.

Dignitas I guess is the best.

No superbia is used more often as negative word , animus has a wide meaning and is used like moral value as pride often in latin books

I am very sorry, but I don;t agree. Animus has the meaning of"spirit, soul, courage" , even "life", but no way pride. If you give me the author from the books you talk about, I will be glad to look after it.

I submitted dignitas. I shall look for the opnion of other members to clarify the problem.

Superbia (overweening pride) was regarded as the "king of all vices" in medieval Europe, not just a sin, but leader of Sins.

Here's my suggestion: digna superbia.

Suberbia Romanorum was regarded as the pride of the Romans in ancient times. The point was that I couldn't keep animus.

Charisgre in libris antiquis hoc "pride " latino sermone definitur quoque verbo " vis".Loquendo de tumulo familiae mihi quoque verbum "vis" rectum videtur.

"Vis" este "force" et "violence". Quid non "dignitas"? Xini, exspectamus votum tuum.

Why not "dignitas"? The answer is simple, Charisgre.

Dignity is goodness and nobleness of character, but pride is regarded as an emotion (or feeling), sense of self-worth, reasonable self-respect or proper high opinion of oneself (i. e. aestimatio sibi digna).

ok for dignitas.

so it will remain dignitas as I posted. Thank you pirulito and Xini!
