I have already asked for the translation of the part which comes after this. But to understand the whole meaning I'd like to check if my reading of this one is right. Sorry!

Hi Aneta B

I'm afraid the second sentence is somewhat clumsy, I don't really understand what you are trying to say.

-->"though lawlessness and degradation start from a small damage"

But I translated literally here. This is why I used the experssion "have beginnings". I can understand it doesn't exist in English? But maybe you could suggest sth similar, dear?

Hi Aneta,

If we put: "How destructive all riots seem to be, though lawlessness and degradation have their beginnings in small injuries."

Let me know

Hi Aneta B

I've set a poll.

It's ever such a long time since I did any Latin (over 30 years ago) but I saw "iniuria" in the source text and thought "ooh, that makes me think of the word "injury" that's how I managed to find the right phrase

Yes, English words very often come from Latin (not only English as you know). But the modern languages change the source meanings of Latin words in fact. Funny, but "we" didin't translate "iniuria" by "injury", but "detrimentum"! You suggested "in small injuries" for "ex levi detrimento",( btw it is singular in Latin). It is instead of my "damage" now, but actually the main meanings of the word "detrimento" are just: reduction, loss, damage, defeat... But, in context, your "injuries" fits too I guess. I accepted your version mainly because you had improved my poor English syntax (Thank you!). I didn't even notice you had changed one word too...

However, "iniuria" means here: infringement of law, anarchy (sic!), lawllessness...
