Valer a pena means:
To be worthwhile (worth the trouble)
Where is you picture Charisgre?
hugs

Valeu is the past form of it.

Latin version means:
"There was a payment/prise for a work/effort"

Is this possible translation?

Hm. The second possibility of translating from Latin:

"There was sth profitable"...

We can't translate it: "It was ...", because here is a lack of a subject in your version (only predicate), Tanita. You should change it.

The original renders into English as:
"It was worth it!"

I don't see any problem with this request

Well, Liian; Thais gave this bridge: ==Valer a pena means:
To be worthwhile (worth the trouble) but suppose I did't understand it right.

Yes, Lene,
"Valer a pena" (infinitive form), but the verb is conjugated into past tense, therefore the translation, as I said before, would be: "It was worth it"

Tanita27, if you add the subject to it, I will accept it.

Hehe, it was just accepted... But there is a lack of subject in it. But ok, the subject can be dafault in this case I think...

"(Id) operae pretium fuit"
