| | Hello, my dear Latin translator! 
You know, I would change the verb here. It is not quite wrong, but I believe that more suitable would be here: adolescitur
What do you think about it? |

| | Aneta, maybe my bridge wasn't that accurate, I'm sorry. This verb "élever" is here to be understood talking about one's spiritual dimension, but I couldn't find a verb in my old dictionary that would match the meaning, I had a look to verb "to rise", "to raise", none of these two verbs showed enough indications for me to chose it, so that I used "growing up", as it is about maturity, becoming a grown-up (including the spiritual dimension). So maybe goncin's use of verb "extollo" would match the meaning here. But I'm neither an English native speaker, nor a specialist in Latin...  |

| | Thank you, Francky, for taking care of this translation!! 
"extollere" means "to lift sth/sb up", "to buid", but also "to praise", "to encourage" etc
My proposition was "adulescere" what means:
not only "to grow up", but also "to mature", "to rise", "to become bigger/more powerful", "to get power"...
Anyway, I still claim "my verb" suits here better...  |

| | But, of course, I can be wrong..
Francky, could you tell me which of the verbs, in your opinion, is better, just considering my explanations above? |

| | Goncin, could you take a stand on the issue. Look at my post above, please. |

| | I think "adolescitur" fits. Editing... |
