Unum cum noris unum noris in English?

Answer 1

"Unum cum noris unum noris" is a Latin phrase that translates to "When you know one, you know one." This phrase emphasizes the idea that once you understand or know one thing, you can apply that knowledge to understand or know other similar things. It highlights the interconnectedness of knowledge and the transferable nature of learning.

Answer 2

You may mean unum cum noris, omnes noris: "when you know one, you know them all", which is a line from the play Phormio by the Roman playwright Terence (Publius Terentius Afer). The version cited says "when you know one, you know one".

The line is more frequently cited as unum cognoris, omnes noris, "you become acquainted with one, you know them all". This is how the line appears in the edition of the play at the Perseus Digital Library (see link below).
