Goncin, do you think it is sounds better "domitas" (domito, domitare) instead of mansuescis which is related more with the animals? I'm waiting for your opinion, because you can look in the dictionary and tell me if you think it has the same meaning as the source

In fact, charisgre, you have always better solutions than mine. "Mansuescis" was the best I could find, but domitas seems to be indeed more appropriate.

I'll change it (I like Le Petit Prince very much - it was even one of my former avatars here in Cucumis).

Thank you (again and again and again)...

I agree with charisge "mansuescere" rather refers to animals, so "domitare" is better verb indeed. But there is also such a verb like "mansuefacere" and this one is good as well, if it is not the best option for the sentence.

Anyway I suggest to change "quid" into "quod". "Quid" is a "pronomen interrogativum", a pronoun used in order to ask a question, meanwhile we need a "pronomen relativum" here, so it definitely should have been "quod".

That's my opinion, Lilly, what you have asked for.
