What is the English equivalent of 'Sumus semper in excretum sed alta variat'?

Answer 1

This is a not-quite-successful translation of "We are always in excrement, only the depth varies."

The main problems: excretum is not really "excrement"; alta is "[the] depths" (i.e., deep places), not the quality "depth"; sed is "but" or "however".

A better translation would beSemper in merda sumus; altitudo solum variat.

There are several Latin words for excrement, of varying degrees of politeness. The most basic is merda, which gave rise to the common Romance words; the Romans themselves used stercus"dung, manure" as a term of abuse; for the more fastidious there's excrementum, although this word has a more general application in Latin than in English (Tacitus uses it for spittle and mucus).

Answer 2

[He/She/It] is always in the s**t, but the depth varies is the English equivalent of 'Semper in excrementum est sed profundum variat'. In the word by word translation, the adverb 'semper' means 'always'. The preposition 'in 'means 'in, into'. The noun 'excrementum' means 'waste matter from the digestive tract'. The verb 'est' means '[he/she/it] is'. The conjunction 'sed' means 'but'. The noun 'profundum' means 'depth'. The verb 'variat' means '[he/she/it] varies'.

Answer 3

The Latin sentence 'Semper excrete sole profundum un variat' contains a misspelling. For the word 'un' needs to be spelled 'ut'. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'semper' means 'always'; 'excrete' means 'sprung forth'; 'sole' means 'by or with the sun'; 'profundum' means 'the depth'; 'ut' means 'how, when, where'; and 'variat' means '[he/she/it] changes'. The English meaning of the corrected sentence therefore is the following: Sprung forth on each occasion by the sun while the depth varies.

Answer 4

Always in the s--t, only the depth changes !

NoteWhile amusing, this is not correct Latin.

Answer 5

The words 'Sumus semper in excretum sed alta variat' are in Latin. These words translate into English as 'We're always high, but varies in excreted'.
