editLatin translation
editA friend of mine is looking for a Latin translation of a motto. Can anybody help?
Ideally he wants "lyrical, physical telling of tales". --217.41.8.76 (talk) 17:31, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- "Fabula corporalis melica" sounds like a good motto for a dramatic production or company. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 19:11, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm no expert at Latin, but "fabula corporalis melica" is singular (fabula = tale), whereas the questioner wanted plural ("tales"), which would be "fabulae corporales melicae". Marco polo (talk) 12:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
