pingere semper! Explanation: Dear Richard, "to paint" is simply "pingere" as an infinitive form of the verb. You can freely put "Always" before or after the verb. It translates as "semper". Hope it helps! Flavio (moderator Eng>Lat) |

peer agreement (net): +2saeculis depingere Explanation: Flavio´s proposal is good if it means "to paint and keep painting", although "depingere" might be better. (This word is the origin of the English "depict", and means roughly the same.) But I wonder if "to paint forever" means something different: to paint for the ages to come. For this interpretation, I propose "saeculis depingere". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-13 08:28:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Depict\" comes form the past participle of depingere: \"depictus\". |
