How would one say "He crossed the Tiber" in Latin? Is there a way to say it without possibly involving the Roman emperor? Also, how would one say "Tiber-crosser"? Thanks!

Hmmmm......Is crux trans et Tiber? I'm kinda' guessing, if you can't tell.



Help!

No, because "cross" the noun and "cross" the verb are completely different words in Latin.

Google Translate suggests "Transiit Tiberim." I am not sure about the form of "Tiberim", but I am sure that "transiit" is right.

I knew that was going to be a pitfall. That's why I threw in a, trans.

"Tiberim" is also correct, so it is indeed "Transiit Tiberim."

Thank you, Father.

If you put in "He crossed the Tiber" without a period, Google Translate says, Tiberis transiit. If you add a period it says Tiberis traiecit. I wonder why?

Also, how how about "Tiber-crosser"? (no luck with Google on that one)

I was wondering about that myself, having seen the "Tiberis" form myself in one Google Translate result. Apparently "Tiberis" was at one point the accusative form as well as the nominative and dative.

Google Translate is an enormous pattern matching machine, I believe, and without a period it must match something different.

Tibere transiit. Maybe? Also?
