Does anyone know the translation of "strength of the soul"? It is incredibly important that it is accurate - I have asked many people but no one seems to be able to provide an exact one. I have had several that really mean "power of breath" or "force of wind".. is this the best I can hope for? Does it not translate exactly? I keep getting different answers! Help pplease!! Many thanks!!

The English word “Strength " can be translated into Latin in many different ways, according to its different meaning.

1-"VIRTUS ", if " strength " means "bravery" ,"gallantry", “valour”.

2-"FORTITUDO" or “AUDACIA” , ”ANIMUS”, if " strength " means "courage" as opposed to 'fear'.

3-"IMPERIUM "or “VIRES” , if " strength " means "military strength ".

4-"VIS "or “ROBUR”, if " strength " means "brute force", “violence”.

5-POTENTIA” or “POTESTAS”, if “strength” means “power”.

6-“FIRMITAS”, if “strength” means “firmness”.

You need to decide what kind of strength you mean.

ANIMA is the closest to soul you will get, it means “of air, having a spirit, living”
