How do you say ' We gotta do this again' in latin. I mean classical Latin, e.g. 'Vene vidi vici', 'I came I saw, I conquered' Well, my latin is not so good, so I thought someone might have the words.

I consulted with a historical Latin linguist, and this is what he came up with:

"Eway ottagay oday isthay againyay".





:D

Thanks Fancyf, the links are interesting, but not quite what I'm looking for.
AG- yeh, I took four years of classical Latin (many years ago), and have forgotten almost all of it. Too bad I didn't save the books.

It seems the syntax maybe the hangup here. Perhaps the phrase would be better stated as 'This thing (or action) must we do (or perform) again' ? Or possibly 'This must be done again by us'? Or even 'Done again by us this must be' - kinda sounds like Yoda from Star Wars that way, don't it?:p Lastly how about 'This by us again must be done'.

Even a Spanish translation would be of help I suspect.

Spanish= "Debemos hacer esto de nuevo"
"Debemos hacerlo otra vez"

Latin not sure but i think "Vis repetita"
:confused: :t

How do you say ' We gotta do this again' in latin.

I'm curious, have you just finished agame of chess with Copernicus or something ;)

Pedro2305- That sounds like it means 'newly' not 'again'. Am I wrong about that? What I am looking for is something along the lines of- Gee, that was fun, 'we gotta do this again!'

Comp_nut -I am not a member, and as I understand, the church is getting away from the traditional Latin services.

Steevo - No, and this is no big deal or anything. It was just a stray thought that floated thru the vast grey spaces of my mind. It may die of loneliness. Oh, and Copernicus lost the last game - didn't know the Hofenbrau Algoritms:D
