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

    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.

    Comment on Wondergirl's post
    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.
