I'm hoping the linguistic talents of TMP can help me with a translation of: "Some other things" from English to Latin. A mate of mine is designing some specific clothing for work and wants to use this as a name. My Latin, alas, extended to 3 years at high school only…all help gratefully received. cheers

ALIAE RES ALIQUID RERUM Knowing the context could lead to better results |

thanks mate. I presume it is going to be the 'label', but he is somewhat circumspect…. |

Agree with grenadier corporal, you really need to know at least if it is a subject or an object. |

I think you can get Google to translate anything, even Pig Latin. But Armand told me long ago its not perfect but chances are will get you close. |

Not quite such a literal rendering, but I would be tempted by "Et caetera". |

Actually, "coterie" would be the literal translation. Rick |

Sorry, "ceterae". I didn't notice the autocorrect after I posted. That's one of the perils of using an iPhone. The full expression would be "res ceterae," but Latin speakers typically would leave the word "res" unspoken/unwritten, as it is implied by the structure of the phrase. Rick |

And the autocorrect will further render the label name to "Cetacea" (or 'clothing for whales'.. ;-) |
