    "Exercent Pugnare, Pugna Vincere"

    “They Train to Fight, you fight to win” Pugna is imperative. Grammatically the phrase is wrong but you could alter it slightly to:
    “ Exerce Pugnare, Pugna Vincere”
    “You train to fight, you fight to win”
    I think that’s the way to go imo now that I am shaking a little rust since imperatives are more commands in the sense your telling someone to do something directly.

    Geetches google translation isn’t right. Instituendi is more translated as studying rather than training to fight or go to war or something. Certare is more to fight mentally than physically.

    isnt the 2nd one you posted, the imperative? so it could still be loosely translated as "Train to fight. Fight to win" instead of "you train to fight. you fight to win?"
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    No offense to anyone, but I would trust absolutely no one on this forum to give you accurate Latin advice. I've seen some of the advice y'all given.

    Agreed. Many in this crowd can't even use sale and sell correctly.

    Cant we just have another "help me find the broken piece to my outboard in the river" thread instead of this stuff that makes us either have to think about stuff or make us cross eyed?
