Title	Man skal ikke tro, man skal vide. Men vil man...
Text Submitted by Poetica	Source language: Danski Man skal ikke tro, man skal vide. Men vil man have vished for det man tror?

Title	Ne animo finxeris
Translation Latinski Translated by Efylove	Target language: Latinski Ne coniecturam ceperis, certus es. Sed opusne est aliquem compertum habere quod alius opinatur?
Remarks about the translation	Bridge by Anita_Luciano: "Do not suppose, be certain. But does one need to be certain of what one supposes?" She also helped me with the second sentence, which could be read in this way: "But does one wish to understand what one believes?"

You should express the folowing clause in ACI too, because you started it by "opusne est", so "quod alius animo fingit" -->...

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	Oh, I've just edited a post above... "pro certo habere"... ACI- Accusativus Cum Infinitivo (don't you really use the short in Italy?)

	Efylove Number of messages: 1015	No, we don't use the short here! But "quod"/"what" is a relative clause, why should I put an ACI?

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	Wow! I didn't know that you don't use ACI short... Anyway can I use it in our discussions sometimes? Efee, I was wrong. I thought "opusne est" is connected also with the second part, but it isn't, so no ACI anymore!!!
