"Old in England to me they who will have received"?!

The dangers of using Google translate. Evidently we need Latin teachers!

Try this then: Salve ab antiquis Anglia

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

If I´m not mistaking, the prepostion "ab" is not correct for usage as a translation for "from" when you´re not somehow moving away from England...

I think it should be "Salve magister" (M) or "Salve magistra" (F) ...


I studied Latin for 6 years, but since then 30 years have passed  8}

Don’t worry! You haven’t suggested anything improper. Google Translate is pretty terrible at Latin, so that doesn’t really mean anything. But perhaps you’re in “old England”?

Vetus in Anglia a me receperint

(I used Google Translate, so I hope I haven't  just suggested you do something unlikely with a vintage automobile!)

Wow! I didn’t think I’d get so many greetings in Latin! Full marks to the person who said "Salve magister" (M) or "Salve magistra" (F)!

Salve! Like many people, this part of Caesar was one of the first actual ancient texts I read.

Salve de Belgica (Secunda)  :)
You know, the region about one once wrote "Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, ... "  ;)
(And let´s forget the next part was "... propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important"  ::) )

Salve de Novo Mexico!(?) I'm fairly certain Caesar went to neither the new nor the old Mexico, and I haven't the slightest idea what declension to assign to it. I had to take a year of Latin at uni. 30 years have not passed, but sometimes it feels like they have. I hope you share your website when it's up because we clearly need a Latin grammar refresher.  :lol:
