Bonjour

Je n'ai pas trouvé la traduction
La devise à traduire en latin est:

" Contrôle ta passion ! "

Merci

Je pense que ce doit être quelque chose comme "studium tuum modera!", mais je ne suis pas expert en latin. J'ai néanmoins vérifié avec un dictionnaire, et j'ai tenu compte des déclinaisons à employer (accusatif pour "ta passion) ainsi que du mode verbal (impératif) ainsi que de la syntaxe latine (COD avant le verbe).

Je vais cependant fournir une traduction-relais en anglais à nos experts en latin, de façon à ce qu'ils confirment (ou infirment) ma traduction.

Hi dear experts in Latin, this text in French means "Master your passion!", is the translation I posted (above in bold itallic) right?

Thanks a lot!

Hello Francky!

Almost right, dear, almost.

Imperative from "moderari" is "moderare" (not "modera", because it is so-called "verbum deponens"
The rest is fine, but I'm wondering what "passion" expresses here.
"studium" means: passion (like hobby, mainly "love to learning", fondness, enthusiasm...
It has got rather a positive meaning.
Since I have to control the passion, in my opinion the feeling has got rather a negative meaning. So I myself would use here a word "cupiditas" or even "libido"

Hi Aneta! Thanks, I really was in doubt when I saw it was a "deponens", as I didn't remember how it read at imperative!

Well, the request is a motto that tells if you love some sport,("passion" has a positive connotation here) you should learn and practice it until you master it.

Wow! The context was really needed here.

I don't know if "moderari" is a proper verb here.
Maybe:
"Percipe studium tuum"?

I'm still not sure what do you mean by "master" here. We can master the language or some knowledge, but passion?

As you sent me in PM, I think "exerce" would be the right meaning here, so I think "Exerce studium tuum" would be fine.
