Latin
« on: 03 January 2013, 01:21:38 pm »
bit of an odd one this...but does any one know Latin?
 
I need an accurate translation of "no regrets" into Latin. I think it is " Nullum Desiderium" but the more i look in to it i keep finding different meanings :(

Desiderium is a weird translation - I'm not sure what that's got to do with regret, but I think the dictionaries mean it in the sense of "regretting that you've lost something" because desiderium really means "longing" or "desire." ("Haud desiderium" means "hardly any desire").
"Nulla paenitentia" is probably the closest thing. The problem is the sense of "paenitentia" shifted from the Roman era to the Christian era, so you could either read it as "no regret" in the Classical sense or "no repentance" in the Christian sense. The religious significance of the idea in Christianity kind of colours the term in a way that didn't exist in the pagan mindset.

Does that help? :eek

could be "NON DOLOR" , non is an adverb, nullus is an adjective, "regret" translates to "dolor" but "dolor" translates back to, "pain, sorrow, trouble, indignation, resentment?
Regret can be a verb or noun, if used as NO REGRETS I would think it's a noun, so "nullus dolor" would be the translation.
I hope it's clear now????????????????????????
