Touching an irate dragon results in a shorter life is the English equivalent of 'Brevior tangere iratum draconem est vita'. In the word by word translation, the comparative 'brevior' means 'shorter'. The infinitive 'tangere' means 'to touch, reach, border on'. The past participle 'iratum' of the infinitive 'irascor' means 'of the angry'. The noun 'draconem' means 'dragon'. The verb 'est' means '[he/she/it] is'. The noun 'vita' means 'life'.
