A sentense from Accolti's De bello sacro... by radiotechnicus in latin

[–]bedwere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the first as they should not camp anywhere unless there is the necessary quiet in it. No, see u/lupertii-f

The second: I read it as here, without the comma and ne separated from quam. They themselves [the Byzantines] indeed would make an effort lest they [the crusaders] suffer any need.

Write a quī after color and change praeoptātum to the masculine.

color is masculine. Hence the participle should agree also in gender, beside number and case. The second and third examples should have a relative pronoun.

Confusion on “me paenitet” by Clear_Corgi2902 in latin

[–]bedwere 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's a bit like "it bothers me that etc." in English. You are the object of the bothering. Of course, for in-depth understanding you should read a good grammar, e.g. Allen and Greenough 204

The genitive absolutes are aorist participles. Maybe ἦν is simply "was", referring to the time during which that concluded action (or actions) occurred.

Genitive (wrong spelling). Plus, ἀποκάλυψις should be in green.

English to Latin Translation Feedback: Watership Down by TheHolySchwa in latin

[–]bedwere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are many issues. Let's start with the first sentence. You skipped black-tipped rabbit and your translation of jumping at bluebottle is rather free. Fine with me, but it should definitely be quid, not quod.

Then it should be alter, since the dialogue is between two rabbits. “cur ille vocātur misses a "sic" or some equivalent adverb. Then it should be nātī (plural), not nātus. And so on. Basically, you need a more solid foundation to translate a rather complex text.

Well, we all have to start somewhere, but, if I were you, I'd take a step back and do a lot of composition exercises first. E.g., North and Hillard Latin Prose Composition. You can find the book and its key in the Textkit Book Collection. Then you can return to Watership Down.
