We came, we saw, we conquered

[gtyt38]

Hi, everyone!

I am relatively new to Latin (1 1/2 years) and I just joined this forum, so please excuse my amateur question…but how would you translate "veni vidi vici" to be plural (we came, we saw, we conquered)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Veni vidi vici

The perfect-tense plural ending is -imus, so it would be:

Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus

Stick around - this forum is the best place for beginning Latinists!

Thank you very much for your help!

Also, how would you say, "We will come, we will see, we will conquer"?

What would the present tense translation of this saying (We come, we see, we conquer) be?

Wiktionary suggests that: The present-tense plural ending of venio is -imus (the same as the perfect tense ending). The present tense plural ending of video is -emus. The present tense plural version of vinco is vincimus.

So would it be Venimus, Videmus, Vincimus?

And on a related note, would "We come, we drink, we conquer" be Venimus, Bibimus, Vincimus?

Yes, both are correct.

I confirm.

Vidimus rather than videmus

 

[Nikolaos]

Vidimus rather than videmus

I believe that particular translation was intended to be present tense - three tenses were requested in different posts.
