Latin Translation Question

So I’m looking at Airman’s squadron coin, and his squadron motto is “Ubi concordia, ibi victoria.” Suffice it to say, my high school Latin is sorely inadequate. What does this mean?

Robin

“Where there is unity, there is victory.”

Stick together and be victorious? Just a WAG because I don’t know any Latin at all to speak of.

well, i only had two years of high school latin, but i think it’s something like “where there is [something something, perhaps conquest], then there is victory”. kind of a half-assed translation, sorry.

GRRRR! Why is agroof’s 09:13 post ahead of my 09:13 post. Looks like age discrimination to me, so watch it!

No, it’s time zone discrimination. Fortune favors the East Coast. :wink:

EST is even a Latin word itself. So there.

Est: “he is” (or “she is” or “it is”) Third person singular, present active indicative form of the verb “sum” (infinitive “esse”) which means “to be”

Hey, I was to late to get to the OP. I wanted to translate SOMETHING. :slight_smile:

I mean TOO late, not TO late.

This is actually quite a common motto in one for or another - the motto for Arsenal Football Club is, for example:

“Victoria Concordia Crescit”

Which means essentially the same thing.

sum
es
est?

sumus
estes
sunt?

Rosa rosa rosa est est.

Terminus est.

Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.

Ille dependet ex quam definiteone te “est” est.

Nullus dolor est, quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.
