Vertify a translation

Postby Deldo » 2010-02-07, 20:16

Hi.

I would like someone to vertify a translation.
It is "noli oblivisci unde venias"

Thanks.

"Don't forget where you're coming from".

(Literally, "noli" means "refuse, do not wish to", but I suppose here it can be taken simply as "don't")

One of the two normal ways to express negative commands is through "noli(te) <plus> infinite." The other way is "ne <plus> subjunctive."
Most men are rather stupid, and most of those who are not stupid are, consequently, rather vain.
