    Translate to latin
    I want to get indecisive or uncertain in Latin as a tattoo for myself, but the only translation I get for it is "incertus" which comes up as uncertain.

    So if someone could tell me if that is correct...

    Or I would like "today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten" if someone could correctly translate that I would be forever grateful.


    Thanks Michelle

    According to what I found on the following site Free Online English to Latin Translators indecisive comes up as being translated "indecisive."

    Uncertain comes up as being translated "incertus", or "hesito".

    And, Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten. comes up as being translated as "Hodie est qua vestri libri suscipio , ceterus est etiam unwritten."

    Just from my experience with Latin, I would say that the translations would appear to be accurate. But, I have had to work mostly with singing Latin, like the kind that you might find in church music. Church Latin as compared to the traditional written or spoken Latin can be different.

    So, to be absolutely sure, I think that your best bet would be the information desk at a public library, or a professor of Latin at a high school, college or university.
