A friend of mine wants to get a minotaur tattoo on his arm with an axe and shield and on the shield it's going to be engraved, "I Fear No Man" in latin.. thing is we can't really find what that would be. I looked and found, "Ego Timere Non Vir" don't know a thing about latin so maybe you all can help. thanks

 

[duritz]

true

I think timere is not the correct form , it has to be timeo.
But latin was a long time ago, so better ask someone who had a latin class not as long ago as i did.

Here's what i have found so far... "Ego Timor Nullus Vir"

If your friend is that tough, why doesn't he do it in English so everyone can understand.

he wants to start a new trend. Everyone gets those gay chinese symbols. WTF is up with that? the chinese suck my hair nut sack. Some chick has chinese symbols on an 87 mistsubishi mirage with no hubcaps that means "Spicy girl" I was like, "did you say spice girls?" i just think it is way too played out. latin is pretty fucking cool anyway. Not many people can speak it. putting something in english is like having sex with a fat girl. Yeah it's kinda cool, but it'd be a lot better if it was something different.

nemo timeo

"Ego" does technically mean "I," and "timere" is "to fear," but if you want your friend to look smert in case he happens to run into somene that knows Latin, you conjugate the verb to first person singular, "timeo."
"Nemo" can be translated as both "no one" and "no man."
In Latin, you put the verbs at the end of the sentence and throw the nouns and everything else at the beginning, so "Nemo timeo."
