Source language: Latin

haec si tecum patria loquatur nonne impetrare debeat?

Title
If the homeland talked to you...
Translation
English

Translated by Aneta B.
Target language: English

If the homeland talked to you, shouldn't it get them?
Remarks about the translation
get/receive/gain

them/these things (lat. heac)

it/she/he get..

-->t's not clear what the pronouns refer to, so many translations are possible.


Note added later, thanks to Maki_Sindja:
This is a sentence taken from Cicero's work "In Catilinam"; a translation, taking the context into account, would be:

If the country should speak thus with you, would she not deserve to gain her request?

Hi micajeja,

Perhaps a bit more context would help.
