Hmm, I'm trying to construct a phrase for a story. Basicly I want to say something akin to "Child of Gods whore" in Latin. Or some fancy way of saying a 'bastard'.
I'm not sure on the gramar but looking it up on the latin to english dictionary, I got that 'meretrix Deus' would be 'Gods whore' and 'Liber' is a child. So how would I construct a sentence with proper grammer to say this?
A little help with Latin, please.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

Stick an "of" between "child" and "god's whore."

You'll need to use the genitive case, which shows possession. Meretrix must be third declension, so it is meretrixum. It could undergo a root change, but I don't know offhand.
Child of God's whore = Deuum meretrixum liber.
Child of God's whore = Deuum meretrixum liber.

And the Latin for 'of' is? Twould be why I'm asking for help. Looking up Latin words is one thing, constructing a sentence with it, is another.StarshipTitanic wrote:Stick an "of" between "child" and "god's whore."

Thanks, chief. So that would be third person, right? Like telling some one that they are a bastard instead of calling ones self a bastard?HemlockGrey wrote:You'll need to use the genitive case, which shows possession.

Um, no. Deuum meretrixum liber would just be "child of God's whore". "You are a child of God's whore" would be Tu sunt deuum meretrixum liber.
Or you could just say, "you bastard", "Tu Nothus"

It's Meretrix, Meretricis, feminine. http://latin.realdictionary.com/Latin/m ... tricis.aspHemlockGrey wrote:You'll need to use the genitive case, which shows possession. Meretrix must be third declension, so it is meretrixum. It could undergo a root change, but I don't know offhand.

Isn't 3rd declension declined:
__ es
is um
i ibus
em es
e ibus
I mean, we're not talking whores plural here, so why the um?

Fuck, I knew I was getting something wrong. It's meretricis, not meretrixum.
