ardescant Explanation: Hi Michael ! Let me assuage your fears ! 1) "Utinam" doesn't convey at all the idea of "possibility", but does convey the idea of "plead", "pray". As a matter of fact, the exact meaning is : "may the heavens/the gods/God" ...grant/give us/me this or that 2) As for "ardeo, ere, arsi, arsurus", it means : first meaning = to be on fire, to burn second meaning = (proper sense and figurative sense as well) to shine, be radiant, be ablaze, be aglow, blaze third meaning = (figurative) to burn with desire/love/hatred/ ... those kinds of feelings I guess you want the third meaning. So may I suggest that you use the verb "ardesco, ere" instead of "ardeo" ? It has only one meaning = to become inflamed/impassioned let's conjugate it = ardescant Utinam corda nostra pro Christi amore ardescant ! Hoping this will answer your questions ! Have a great weekend ! Carole |
