New CBB

The idea wasn't really to make a translation challenge at first. A friend came up to me and asked for a particular sentence to be translated in Latin. (He wants it to be tattooed on him.) I'm asking for someone with good abilities in it to translate in Latin. Also, I'd want it to be translated in multiple other languages for our own pleasure. :3


What has been written must occur/happen.


Ce qui est écrit doit arriver/se passer.


Lo que está escrito debe pasar/ocurrir/suceder.

What has been written must occur/happen.

There are many possibilities for Russian:


Как написано, так и будет.
как написа-н-о так и буд-ет
how write.PERF-PTPART-NEUT thus PART be.PERF-3S.PRES

^this is my favorite one. It's the most concise and natural-sounding.

То, что написано, . . .
то что написа-н-о
that what write.PERF-PTPART-NEUT

. . . (обязательно) сбудется
(обязательно) сбуд-ет-ся
(surely) happen.PERF-3S.PRES-REFL

. . . (обязательно) должно случиться
(обязательно) должн-о случ-ить-ся
(surely) necessary-ADV happen.PERF-INF-REFL

. . . обязано случиться
обяза-н-о случ-ить-ся
be.obliged.PERF-PTPART-ADV happen.PERF-INF-REFL

and more.

Wait...if I'm reading it right, the word for "write" in Russian is "Nagisa".

....That's kinda cool.

A standard translation

PERF-write-PASS.NEUTER MEDIOPASSIVE must occur-INF
Using a nice style of writing with subject as a subordinate clause[->]
Što je napisano,mora se dogoditi

There are several more possibilities,but I am too lazy to write down and gloss them.

Still no Latin translation. :C

The perfective would be "Napisat'", but I think the imperfective would be "Pisat'".

Am I right, Pirka?

Also I know at least a few others who learned Traditional Chinese by preference.
