Wedding Ring Latin Inscription

Post by ]v[etaphoid
Hello learned friends,
Any chance anyone could confirm the correct Latin translation for the
phrase, "All my love, all my life"?
It's for a good cause - a wedding ring inscription - so there's a chance to
earn a few bonus karmic points.
Cheers,
]v[eta

A literal rendering would be "Totus amor meus, tota vita mea", but this
may not necessarily be the best way of doing it.

I note, by way of interest, that in the song lyric - http://bit.ly/9Us1W9
- this phrase is the object of the verb "I'll give", so a contextual
translation would require the accusative case.

Please wait to see what further suggestions may be forthcoming.

If you want to use Johannes' version, add "Tibi" to the beginning.
Otherwise take his advice to change everything to accusative case:

Totum amorem meum totam vitam meam

You can probably leave out "meum" and "meam" if ring real estate is a
consideration.

Many apposite quotes with even more resonance can be found in the
Vulgate _Song of Songs_ here:

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/Vulgate/Song_of_Solomon.html

but none will mean exactly what you want. Be careful with word genders
if you want both rings to read the same. The author of the Song of
Solomon isn't careful about genders for some very mysterious reasons.

phrase, "All my love, all my life"?

1 There is no "THE correct translation",
translating is a subjective science.

2 Litterally seen the sentence is not correct in English,
so before translating it you better tell what you think it means.
Translating slang into another language without this step usually results
in a nonsensical translation.results

Is this a wish?
"May you be my only love forever?"

Or a promice?
"You will be the sole destination of all my loving forever?

Or is "my love" a vocative?

3 how can we confirm what you do not give?

4 Is it nice to inscribe in a wedding ring
what you do not understand natively?

I don't doubt you could do a similarly glorious demolition job on many of
the other syntactically questionable wedding ring inscriptions listed on
this page:
http://www.allthingsfrugal.com/c_inscriptions.htm

The length of some of them (e.g., "The World Moves For Love, It Kneels
Down In Awe Before It") seems to presuppose a prodigiously enlarged digit!

As to "Gotcha!" as a wedding ring inscription, well gosh, who'da thunk it?

Maybe, just maybe, this is also the correct etymology,
and the "I got you" is just "Hineininterpretierung".

Why a Latin inscription? If you both understand English, use that!

The phrase you want translated is ambiguous in English. Such ambiguities
are difficult or impossible to replicate between different languages. If
you want something in Latin that expresses what you want, first decide
exactly what it is you want to say in English.

Alternatively, go with a well-known 'tag', such as "amor vincit omnia"
(usually translated as "Love conquers All")

Before getting anything engraved in a foreign language, get at least two
independent trustworthy interpretations of what it really means!

Do you think maybe Aardvark meant Xenophon, the Athenian who went with

"Anabasis" is written in good Attic Greek; very suitable for schoolboys.

Oh yes, I was sure of that from the start.

Anabasis' eaternal "statmoi" and "parasangs" bring back longtime
frustration and joy at the same time:

"From this place Cyrus marched through Babylonia three statmoi, twelve
parasangs."

"From this point they marched two statmoi, eight parasangs, and crossed
two canals, ..."

"From the river Tigris they advanced four statmoi, twenty parasangs, to
the river Physcus, which is a hundred feet broad and spanned by a
bridge."

"Thus Cyrus, with the troops which I have named, set out from Sardis,
and marched on and on through Lydia three statmoi, making two-and-twenty
parasangs, to the river Maeander. That river is two hundred feet broad,
and was spanned by a bridge consisting of seven boats. Crossing it, he
marched through Phrygia a single statmos, of eight parasangs, to
Colossae, an inhabited city, prosperous and 6 large. Here he remained
seven days, and was joined by Menon the Thessalian, who arrived with one
thousand hoplites and five hundred peltasts, Dolopes, Aenianes, and
Olynthians. From this place he marched three statmoi, twenty parasangs
in all, to Celaenae, a populous city of Phrygia, large and prosperous."

==========================

btw:

Of Xenophoon, "the strange voice", it is said he had a speach impediment
and not that Greek was not his native tongue.

Ah, ah. Yes, you've captured something of Xenophon there.
I always think of him as the "soldier type" par excellence. And I love
something about his self-presumption. He took over from where Thucydides
left off in writing the history of the Peloponnesian War, but he was no
Thucydides.
And he wrote memoirs of Socrates, but never mentioned Plato; who also
never mentioned him once in all the books he wrote about Socrates.

Even the titel "Anabasis" by this man with the speach-impediment

"Away from the sea"

"The ascend into the mountains"

Anabasis from ana-bainoo.

"Thalassa thalassa"!

"Thalatta, thalatta"! [-tt- in Xenophoon's attic dialect] is not from the
"Anabasis" but from the "Katabasis".

A trip from Athinai to the harbour Piraios was calles an katabasis too.

Baino also brought "Behma" the stepping-stone needed to address a group of
people, as used in the Athenian democracy, which drifted into the

Latin never quite translates "literally" into English, British,
Autralian, or any other variations of the Honkey-Motherland-Speak.

Perhaps into Spanish or Italian or one of the Romance languages...

I'd go with exactly what you mean to say in English, that way
there is no ambiguity or acedemic argument several years from
now when a signigicant-other comes home and says "What the fuck
do mean by 'your entire family wants to secks me for all eternity?'"

Get it? You could Google for some Latin candidates which may hit
the nail on the head... something like "Semper Copulatus Morte"
but, Latin form tends to be quite ambiguous without a context,
both in time and audience.

Best of lust with your fortuitus fornications.
