Latin Professor Needed!

[blueskiesup]

So we're working on "the name" issue...

I'm thinking about a latin name...

Time Flies = Tempus Fugit

I know that Navi = To Sail or To Fly

Is Tempus Navit the correct conjugation of "Time to Sail"?

I knew I should have paid more attention in 6th grade Latin!!!

I'm looking for a catchy name that means time to sail/fly...

Any help would be appreciated...

Tempus navit means "time navigates/flies," I think, but I wouldn't venture to offer you the correct translation for "time to sail". "Time" in "time to sail" is a different word/concept from "time" in "tempus fugit."

On the other hand, nobody speaks latin anymore... so who will know?

My Mac 19 has a Latin/Spanish name:
Carpe Diem
. . . Manana

40 years have badly eroded 4 years of high school Latin. The phrase you're playing with is a short way of saying "It is time to sail". Maybe "Est" is needed for it to work.

I googled the phrase just for fun. Under Wikepedia I didn't find the answer, but I did find what I think is a really cool Latin boat name. How about: FESTINA LENTE

That expression is supposed to have been Augustus' motto, and it means:

"Hurry slowly"

That's a rather interesting fit for a MacGregor.

Playing with an on line Latin dictionary. Would TEMPUS NAVIGO be correct for "Time to sail"?

[pokerrick1]

"Circum Navitus" or "Sailus Solous" or "Macus Helpus" or "Domine Patre Motorus Sailus" and I like Bill's Carpe Diem - - Mannna

Why does this whole discussion remind me of old Road Runner cartoons?

Birdus Tastius.... Poultrius Devourius....

How about just calling it "Acme Sailboat"?

Hi guys

In Catala (Latin based from Northern Spain, Catalunya)
Time to sail is "temps de navegar"

My vote's for Tempus Navigo.
Regardless of it's precise meaning, it's English inference is unmistakably clear.

Good thinking, Newbie, and welcome ab'd~!

Tempus est Navigare, based on a few samples from the Latin Vulgate:

Book of Tobias
Chapter 12, verse 20 (in part)
It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me...

tempus est ergo ut revertar ad eum qui me

Psalm 118, verse 126
It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.

tempus est ut facias Domine praevaricati sunt legem tuam


Acts of the Apostles,
Chapter 21, verse 1 (in part)
And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy...

ut autem iudicatum est eum navigare in Italiam...

Chapter 27, verse 12 (in part)
And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence...

et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare...

And I can't even remember if I had 2 or 4 years of Latin in high school, 38 years ago, but I was also an altar boy before Vatican II.
