necro is the prefix meaning death, such as in necropolis, and polis is city, etc.

I trust you.

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.


-- Posted by Samael at 8:16 pm on Dec. 15, 2008

wait, mortem, it's mortem.

Muerte is Spanish for death. Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese all come from Latin. Mortis is Latin for death. Google is awesome.

I believe it is mortalitas. That sounds more Latin-ish than mort or morte.
If only I'd payed attention a wee bit more. :]

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


-- Posted by Scui at 10:37 pm on Dec. 15, 2008

*whips out Latin dictionary*

mors
obitus (natural death)
nex, interitus (violent death)

Mortuus means dead.


-- Posted by Chava at 8:01 am on Dec. 16, 2008

Morte morte.


-- Posted by MaryLin at 12:05 pm on Dec. 16, 2008

Ars mori = the art of death

I learned that phrase once.


-- Posted by S0LITUDE at 6:51 pm on Dec. 16, 2008

mort. Like in mortal. Or postmortum


-- Posted by telomere13 at 6:52 pm on Dec. 16, 2008

Mors, mortis are the nominative and genitive cases. 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.
