to go down
You can do what you set your mind to
You should never say never

to paint the town ( red)
you should live as long as you live
if you´ve said A you have to say B
to move heaven and earth
to have money like dirt
to wait an eternity | Remarks about the translation | freely translated- these are sayings
to go down could also be to fall apart
life is not a dance upon roses means life is not easy
if you´ve said A you have to say B means one thing leads to another. to have money like dirt means to be rich

14 July 2010 10:43 | | | Hi Ernst! Can I ask you about the source?
The lines translated into English as: to go down, to paint the town ... Are they infinitives or rather "purpose clauses"?
 CC: Bamsa | | |
14 July 2010 13:29 | | | Hi Aneta 
The first line "to go down" is translated from "at gå i hundene" which can be translated as "go to the dogs" link
"at male byen rød" -> infinitive  (to party in a wild manner)
Infinitive both | | |
14 July 2010 13:33 | | | Uhm... should I change something, dear collega?
| | |
14 July 2010 15:43 | | | Well, I still don't know, because infinitives in English sometime are used as so-called "purpuse clauses" and I thought this was such a case here.
For examle:
"To know new language you have to learn it".
to know new language = purpose clause
In Latin it would start from "ut": Ut scias linguam novam eam discere debes (or: tibi ea discenda est)
Do you know what I mean, dear? | | |
14 July 2010 15:46 | | | Of course. But didn't Bamsa say that they are infinitive clauses?
| | |
14 July 2010 15:56 | | | But, infinitives have many different functions. For me the first sentence "to go down " is stricte connected with the second one "You can do what you set your mind to"
In yours:"Corruere Facere potes quod in animum induxisti"they aren't connected at all.
I would rather translate it:
"Ut corrueas
facere potes quod in animum induxisti".
But I can be wrong. 
Ernst, could you tell me what exactly function have the infinitives? CC: Bamsa | | |
14 July 2010 21:16 | | | Hi Aneta
"at måle byen rød"
"to paint the town red"
meaning
"going to party"
infinitive clause
(no reason -> not purpose clause)
"at gå i hundene"
the same, not purpose clause | | |
15 July 2010 18:06 | | | Ok, dear Ernst. Thank you so much.
I'm sorry Efee. I just had to be sure. This is why I asked Ernst.
Some questions to you:
"Minime tibi dicendum sit numquam".
and
"Tibi vivendum sit donec vivis".
Why did you use coniunctivi here? Shouldn't be "est" instead of "sit"?
And since the folowing sentence doesn't contain a verb "should" (like the ones above) but "have to", I would suggest:
"Si A dixisti, tibi dicendum est B".
--> Si A dixisti, tibi dicere B necesse est.
just to diistinguish between the sentences above and this one.
The rest is just great!

15 July 2010 18:11 | | | You're right about the conjunctives, they should be indicatives.
And I like your "necesse est" sentence, too.
| | |
15 July 2010 18:13 | | | Done, sweety!
