Is that Latin? On the basis of "cogito ergo sum", it seems like the Latin would be something like te reperio ergo ... (I can't remember the 2nd person verb form :-( ) |

wwwsurfer.ga has given a Romanian translation. The Latin for 'Therefore you exist' is: 'Ergo es'. (Myoarin, the present tense of the verb 'to be ['esse'] is sum, es est, sumus estis sunt. I'll look at the rest after my next class. |

My translation: 'Hodie, te invenire. Ergo es.' Hodie = today, or now. (One could use 'proxime' But 'hodie' seems more idiomatic to me.) 'Te' = the accusative form of 'you' [tu, te, tui tibi te]. 'Invenire' = first person perfect tense of 'invenio: to come upon, find, meet with, discover or invent. I preferred 'invenio' to 'reperio (to get again, find, discover) or 'disco (to learn, become acquainted with) because it seems the best verb for describing a first meeting with a person. 'Ergo' = Therefore 'Es' = you are (second person present tense of 'esse' the verb to be or to exist. I hope this helps. I'm not a g@@gle researcher, so this is a free comment. |

Amber, I like that, hope Mike does too. (Ceasar didn't use the second person very much, and I hardly got through the wars.) |

Hodie, te invenire. Ergo es. invenire is infinitive. hodie is quote clearly "today" hoc-die -> to-day I would suggest Modo te invenii, ergo es. I have just now found you, therefore you are. |

'I iustus evestigatus vos. Proinde vos futurus' That is evidently an automated translation, and has the typical mis-understanding of machine-generated texts. I->I missed to see that english I is pronoum, translated as number 1 just->iustus Just translated as "righteous" you->vos translated you (2nd person singular) as you (2nd person plural) futurus. futurus is a substantive meaning "thah wuill exist". How does that apply here?? |

Having thought it over (and checking my Latin grammer), I believe that Frox's translation is better than mine. The Romanian one is just not Latin at all; and I entirely endorse Frox's comments on the dreadful and incoherent automated version. So, MikeKeller, go for Frox's translation. |

te invenio, ergo es How about that? I think this is precisely "I discover you, so you exist." It's short and doesn't add "today". |
