What does: "Noli umquam compromittere" mean? Or: "Compromitte numquam"? I'm trying to get the translation for: Never compromise / Never make a compromise. Thanks!

What is the difference between: Numquam compromisi / Numquam compromittere/ Numquam compromitto/ Numquam compromissus?

Latin doesn't follow the same word order as English does.

What does: "Numquam compromitto" mean?
Compromitto means I compromise. The "o" indicates first person for a verb.

Those aren't what you want. The first, "compromisi," is Italian. I explained the third one already. Where on earth did you get the rest of them? The word order is wrong for Latin.

It's very difficult to get a word-for-word translation from one language to another, and with same sentence structure and order.

I'm trying to find: Never Compromise. The translations I got them online. (Never comprromise as in never make a compromise) Do you know how to translate that into latin, correctly?

I answered this on the 20th --

It's either Noli umquam compromittere or Nolite umquam compromittere, singular and plural, respectively.

You could also write, Compromitte numquam.

Be careful with your spelling.
