The exact Latin form depends on context, so if you want it to fit into a particular sentence (English or Latin) the context is necessary. I've had five years of Latin so there was a point at which I was quite good at it, so I'm actually trustworthy. (edit)Evidently my English spelling, however, leaves something to be desired. S0LITUDE Posted at 6:51 pm on Dec. 16, 2008 mort. Like in mortal. Or postmortum MaryLin Posted at 12:05 pm on Dec. 16, 2008 Ars mori = the art of death I learned that phrase once. Chava Posted at 8:01 am on Dec. 16, 2008 Morte morte. Scui Posted at 10:37 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 *whips out Latin dictionary* mors obitus (natural death) nex, interitus (violent death) Mortuus means dead. Stand Up Posted at 8:33 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 It's hard to make a translation because it depends on the context. mortuus = means deceased and is used for death. per example de mortius nil nisi bonum Morituri te salutumus Dulce et Decorum est pro patria mori Causa mortis Clara Bell Posted at 8:24 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 Quote: from Tavis at 11:16 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is Mort / Morte or along those lines. Online translator says it's . . . nex, mortalitas, mors mortis, letum, plecto aliquem capite, excessum, decessus I'd go with mortalitas. Mort is French for death. I believe it is mortalitas. That sounds more Latin-ish than mort or morte. If only I'd payed attention a wee bit more. :] Fancy Fantasia Posted at 8:22 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 Quote: from WickedWiccan at 8:21 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 Muerte is Spanish for death.
