From English to Latin:
They Came, They Saw, They Conquered

Thanks in advance.

Vini. Vidi. Vici

So in Latin there's no difference between "They" and "I"? Those Romans lived in some damn confusing times.

Thats "I saw, I came, I conquered."

And I think "vini" is spelled "veni", but im not sure

My Latin is a bit rusty, but I -think- it's "Venitis, Viditis, Vicitis."

alea iacta est

From what I know ego is the most commonly used word for "I".

I'm pretty sure that Vini. Vidi. Vici is the correct form.

Though I still know little about Latin [I've only learned the very basics.]

None of the forms look right.

Just to instruct people, it will be in the, perfect, 3rd person, plural.

Isn't that "ya'll came, ya'll saw, ya'll conquered"? (Or: You came, you saw, you conquered. Just trying to say it's plural.)

I've seen that on a packet of cigarettes somewhere... What a slogan for tobacco :rolleyes:

venerunt, viderunt, vicerunt

Usually the ending for Normal 3rd person perfect would be like this :
"Venerunt, Viderunt, Vicerunt"

I haven't taken Latin in 2 years so I had to refer to my old high school latin notebook for this declension... "venerunt, viderunt, vicerunt" should be right.

venerunt, viderunt, vicerunt
That's it!

My Latin program translated it perfectly. And I have a verb quiz on Monday. ;)

Venerunt Viderunt Vicerunt, would be the correct one.

psst, thats you all...

Wait a second. Isn't that Pluperfect? Meaning it's, "They have come, they have seen, they have conquered"?
Pluperfect's is "erint"

Edit : N/m thats future perfect

Wait a second. Isn't that Pluperfect? Meaning it's, "They have come, they have seen, they have conquered"?
"They have come, they have seen, they have conquered" is perfect. "They had come, they had seen, they had conquered" would be pluperfect, and would translate as venerant, viderant, vicerant.

Wait a second. Isn't that Pluperfect? Meaning it's, "They have come, they have seen, they have conquered"?
nope, erunt is perfect, erant, is pluperfect...

Pluperfect's is "erint"
Future perfect is erint.

Pluperfect's is "erint"
"Erint" is Future Perfect..

refer to above comments.
i know... typo, i fixed that...

synopsis time!

Now I have a completely incomprehensible joke for my sig!

Will someone translate for me? I want this translated:
You see that my eyes reflect the blood of lost souls, and the stains on my skin is indeed the blood of warriors. I live to die, as those who die to live. I realize not my purpose, but thats not enough to stop me.
I just thought that up, I like it. It's cool. Thats my new catch phrase!

Yes, I see it now. Mea culpa.

"Erunt" ending is correct. And I will NOT make that mistake on Monday. ;)

Wow, I wish i knew Latin.
