English to Latin translations [Non-PRO]
Art/Literary - Linguistics / LANGUAGE | | English term or phrase: THE MAN I HAVE BECOME | | I WOULD LIKE THE LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE ABOVE PHRASE IN LATIN |
| | | vir qui ego factus sum | Explanation:
This rendering assumes that 'man' in this context refers to the adult human male of the species ('vir'), not to our species as embracing both sexes ('homo'). The difference between 'vir qui ego factus sum' and 'homo qui factus sum' is, freely, the difference between 'the (ideal) man who I have become' and 'the sort of person which I have become.'
