Here's the deal: I have Latin homework that I just remembered about. It's 2:22am, and I'm tired. I have to translate seven sentences from Latin to English. I can literally translate the sentences, but I absolutely suck at making it all sound normal. Can anyone help me with these?

Im your man, make it quick please

Im your man, make it quick please

Okay, here's all seven.

1. Vos nobis de voluptatibus adulescentiae tum scriptsistis.

2. Rationes alterius filiae heri non fuerunt eaedem.

3. Nemo in hanc viam ex utra porta fugerat.

4. Illi autem ad nos cum medica eius nuper venerunt.

5. Illi adulescentes ad nos propter amicitiam saepe veniebant.

6. Eundem timorem in isto consule sensimus.

7. Post paucas hortas Caesar Asiam cepit.

Yeah, like I said, I can get literal translations, but I can't make them into good English.

this is going to take a while, I havent taken Latin for 2 years, can you start the first 3, and I'll help you?

Thank you, by the way.

Ixnae the Igpae Atinlae. :)

I can give you the word-by-word literal translations, I just can't figure out Latin grammar enough to make it sound correct.

1. You for/to us from pleasure young men then will have written.

2. Reason the other daughters yesterday not (blank-don't know fuerent) the same women.

3. No one into this woman road out of either entrances flee/avoid.

4. To that woman however to we with doctor its recently come.

wow, I thought I knew the language better, you said you ca translate right?

Yeah, I can translate, but Latin grammar is still giving me headaches.

The young men have written this for our pleasure

(can you finish translating the rest?)

5. Those men young men to we because of friendship often came.

Okay, here's all seven.

1. Vos nobis de voluptatibus adulescentiae tum scriptsistis.

2. Rationes alterius filiae heri non fuerunt eaedem.
2. The reason is that the daughters went to the same women yesterday (I really hope this is right)
3. Nemo in hanc viam ex utra porta fugerat.
3. No one but this woman went into this door to flee
4. Illi autem ad nos cum medica eius nuper venerunt.
4. The doctor has recently come to that woman
5. Illi adulescentes ad nos propter amicitiam saepe veniebant.

6. Eundem timorem in isto consule sensimus.

7. Post paucas hortas Caesar Asiam cepit.

Yeah, like I said, I can get literal translations, but I can't make them into good English.
whew, 3 to go...
I really hope this works for you

Those men young men came to us because of friendship

6. (The same) Him fear into to that look out for feeling/sense.

6. (The same) Him fear into to that look out for feeling/sense.
6. Eundem timorem in isto consule sensimus

He is afraid to look out for his feelings
that sounds right...

I got 7., "After a few hours Asia fell to Caesar." or something.

good work, it looks right
I hope I did well, I havent taken Latin for 3 years, and I only took 3 years of it...

It's better than the non-answers I was getting. Odds are I won't even get called on, and he's pretty liberal with these translations as long as they aren't completely wrong.

well that's good
glad I could be a help, i'll talk to you later
