Answer 6

Are you sure it is nostr' ? @Valirium

Answer 7

idk what that is lol

Answer 8

Could be "nostra" maybe?

Answer 9

k that makes sense
nostra - (nom/acc) plural

1 our possessions, our things
2 our writings
3 our soldiers
4 our land

Answer 10

alma - (nom/abl) feminine singular

can also be (nom/acc) neuter plural

Answer 11

So adjective, connect to noun

1 nourishing, kind, propitious
2 of a nurse, breast, providing nurture, fostering

Answer 12

mater - nom, feminine

1 mother, foster mother
2 lady, matron
3 origin, source, motherland, mother city

Answer 13

"Daily Latin with Shadow" should be a thing. xD

Answer 14

Probably something like

To our father, Pluto (or 'God of the Underworld), our mother nourishes

Answer 15

nvm that's an adjective, would be

To our father, Pluto (or 'God of the Underworld), our mother nourishing

Answer 16

Now each of these words have different meanings so the actual translation can be different. What's most important is that I matched up the words. So nominative nouns must stick with other noms (other nouns and adjectives that are nom).

Answer 17

Was hoping mater would be plural, as that would make sense quite literally. Since a mother giving birth is technically nourishing the god of the underworld.

Answer 18

but I guess this works too, just like an individual case. Anyway, was fun to translate lol.

Answer 19

It was fun to watch you translate.
(Totally not creepy at all c: )

Answer 20

Lol. Well it was a fun challenge. Am only in Latin 101 but it wasn't that bad.

Answer 21

Also, maybe I'll translate my hw on here if it's fun to watch. Might persuade me to do it earlier instead of right before class (:

Answer 22

Ooh yessss. Don't be procrastinating e.e

Answer 23

but I am so good at it

Answer 24

Just because you're good at it doesn't mean it's the best option. (:
