Hi Aneta,

Just a doubt: shouldn't "him" and "he" be written in caps? I think they refer to God.

Hi Lilly! Are you sure it refers to God? How do you know it?

Hummm...O don't know for sure, but this kind of sentence (at least in Portuguese) usually refers to God.

In Latin it can refer to a man too.

For example it could be said by a woman to her beloved one.

Wait a minute...this user requested the same line backwards.
This is considered as a double request.

Anyway, according to another request of hers that "him" and "he" refers to her dead father, not to God (stated in the remarks).

Not exactly double, dear. The first one is from English to Latin and this one is on the other way around...

Yes, I know, but when a user requests the same line backwards we understand s/he just wants to check if the first translation was correct. It's a way of showing a lack of confidence in the first translator's skills. See what I mean?

Oh yes, I see. I believe you know what to do in such a case, dear Lilly.

Well...I think you should evaluate this translation and we remove this one (technical rejection - no rating).
What do you think?

But Lilly the requests aren't exactly the same.

Semper fui illo = I have always been for him

I have always been with him = Ego semper cum eo fui (or like alexfatt translated)

No, the sentence doesn´t referes about God, referes about my father!

Por favor Iria, evite repetir pedidos, OK?
