Titel
You don´t know me
Text
Übermittelt von Galaduor
Herkunftssprache: Englisch Übersetzt von Cisa

You don´t know me, so I´ll introduce myself.
My passion is history and ancient languages.
I am the same age as you.
My favourite quotation is: As long as there is a spark, there is hope.

My Latin vocabulary is quite restricted so I offer you a riddle:

Here is the riddle:
When someone names me, I no longer exist. Who am I?

You probably won´t receive my letter. But I keep a ray of hope.

Titel
Non me cognoscis, ita inducam me ipsum/ ipsam
Übersetzung
Latein

Übersetzt von charisgre
Zielsprache: Latein

Non me cognoscis, ita inducam me ipsam.
Cupidus historiae veterumque linguarum sum.
Id aetatis ut tuae sum.
Prelata mentio mea est:
Donec erit scintilla, erit spes.

Vocabula mea in Latina Lingua non multa sunt atque tibi offero unum scirpum.
Hic est scirpus:
Cum quidam dicit nomen meum, ego diutius non sum. Quis sum?

Tu forsitan non accipias litteras meas. At teneo radium spei.
Bemerkungen zur Übersetzung
Ipsum –masculine, ipsam –feminine for “myself”
I’ve preferred in translation to use “donec” for “as long as…” because it expresses more clearly the temporary connection
You can use “ego diutius non sum” and also ‘ego diutius non esto/ exsisto’ with the same meaning.

"litteras meas" -> "literam meam". The French original has it singular.

in Latin the word littera,-ae means letter e.g. U, A, E, G, etc - singular. The plural form litterae,-arum mean letter, id est a written message addressed to a person.

Thanks for clarifying, charisgre. It seems that you know Latin a lot... That's very good.

Be welcome to Cucumis!


Porfyhr, keep an eye on her - she is good!

"Cum quidam dicit nomen meum, ego diutius non sum. Quis sum?"

Silentium!
Classic one
I wonder if the answer should be reflected in the question, i.e. "diutium sum - quid sum"

And well translated if you'd ask me.

Diutius is an adverb in the original, so I presumed you can't make a corelation between them. Plus I think the person who wrote it is a male, so "quis" is the proper pronoun, "quid" is for neutral. He said: "Who am I?" not "What am I?"

Charisgre,
you have voted against your own Latin translation.
Is it of any particular reason or just by mistake!
