Trekster's Latin Circle

[BFM_Fénix]

No, it can't be something like Angry Brutes.

Fulmen -> fulmina -> fulmine -> fulminate
Brutum -> brutal -> brutale -> brutal

I agree with Anubis about the possible translation to modern Latin languages, but not the use. I thing brutus is used for the person (a brute) while brutum is a form of adjective (a brutal). Also, I consider brutal as in incapable (a definition I'm completely sure is valid in Spanish). Therefore:

Brutum Fulmen -> An attack/threat that is not likely to happen -> An empty threat.

[Trekstr]

I am now at a loss...it seems that nothing i throw can harm Fenix... for he is SUPA-SMART

 I will try again

tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito

Here it is. Good Luck and have fun all

[BFM_Kiwi]

tu = you
ne = not/negative
cede = English means to give up, but I think this is the latin verb to go, as in pre-cede (go before)
malis = evil/bad?
sed = but
contra = against
audientior = something to do with hearing?

Don't go to the dark side, but listen to the force!   

perhaps not

[BFM_Fénix]

GAH!!! Trekster!!! There is one word that is confusing me... It simply doesn't ring a bell...

tu = you
ne = not/negative
cede = English means to give up, but I think this is the latin verb to go, as in pre-cede (go before)
malis = evil/bad?
sed = but
contra = against
audientior = something to do with hearing?

Ok, I believe Kiwi is right with most of the words and thank you for translating sed, without it there would be 2 words causing trouble...

cede -> The first meaning is correct (to give up/in). IDK about Latin, but in Spanish ceder means to transfer/surrender. Considering the word didn't lose its original meaning, precede would be more like "before transfer" = "before change" = "beforehand" (in a matter of speaking) = "go before" (as in common use of language).

ito -> It was a little hard but I found it similar to ido, which derives from the verb ir in Spanish. Considering there is a pronoun in this sentence, then the switch of the verb would make sense. "ito" is simply "go".

Now the real fun begins... Considering all the words I know (even though my English is mediocre, my Spanish is quite vast) I failed in finding a similar word that satisfied me... So I will be making an educated guess this time...

Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito -> Tu no cedas ante el mal, sino ve/lucha en contra de él audazmente -> You don't give in to evil, but go against it with bravery

So that's it... Considering that educated guess and the fact that these type of sentences have been following an optimistic-pessimistic nature, I say audentior is bold/brave/venturous/risky; resulting in the translation above.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Oh I was thinking audio or audience, but there is also audacious, which means bold.  No fair, knowing Spanish!

[Trekstr]

I haz confused Feni But I fail to fool NJ Fenix again

facile omnes quom valemus recta consilia aegrotis damus

Here's the next one. Have fun and Good luck

[jim360]

facile is likely to mean "easy".
omnes is surely "all".
I'm thinking that consilia would be related to modern "counsel" - advice.

As to the rest? No idea. Though quom is going to be when, where, what, who, why, how, one of those sorts of word.

[BFM_Kiwi]

I was going to post just about exactly what three60 did.

facile = easy
omnes = all
quom - yeah one of those words
recta - might be right/rule
damus - is that a verb?  to give?
vale = farewell, not sure about valemus
consilia - advice, similar to italian consigliere = advisor
aegis = protection, not sure about aegrotis, is it related

even assuming most of that is close, not idea what it all means.

[jim360]

I'm reliably informed by a Classicist that "quom" is an archaic form for "he who is".

So that would suggest that the translation is something like:

"Easy for he who is [somethingorother] to advise (or to give advice to) the [somethingelse, probably the opposite]."

[Trekstr]

According to my sources, "when we are healthy, we all have advice for those who are sick" it was hard for me to translate too

But anyways,

"tabula rasa" is the next phrase

Have fun and good luck all

[BFM_Kiwi]

I know that one!  Empty slate or blank page.

Tabula = tablet
rasa = ?? erased?

One of the few things I remember from latin, along with veni, vidi, vici,  o tempora o mores and the one about gaul being divided into three parts

[Anubis]

I think for a french expression "faire table rase". Very near to this latin sentence.

[Trekstr]

Tabula rasa is indeed a clean slate. I know this one from history class, surprisingly.

assiduus usus uni rei deditus et ingenium et artem saepe vincit

Here's the next one. Try to think about education while reading...

Good Luck and have fun all

[jim360]

Ah, a long one this time.

vincit might be something to do with victory, winning, overcoming - "invincible" = "unbeatable".

assiduus = Try hard, work hard, struggle - English "assiduous" means "working diligently".

ingenium presumably to do with "ingenious" - clever.

et is "and".

usus is "used", in the sense of "made use of", I think. It's either the nominative masculine singular of "utor" if it's a verb, or if it's a noun then I'd imagine it's meant as "skill", "practice" or "exercise". But hard to say.

"saepe" - echoes (yes, I know this is obscure, but hey!) the Italian "spesso", the French "souvent" and the Basque "sarritan". So it might be "often".

As to the rest I can't really translate it. *Emails Classics scholar*.  

"[Through] Work[ing] [hard/ constantly] practice [Through constant practice], ___ ____ ______ and [cleverness] and ______ often is overcome." ??

Oh yeah, "uni" is going to be something to do with a singular - "one", "only", or something.

[BFM_Kiwi]

You know Basque?
