Gabriela Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I hope this one is final. We want to say "I am faithful to the Shepherd." Pastori Fido? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's funny. When I don't really care if anyone responds to me, I log into Phatmass and find 10 notifications. When I'm really dying for someone to respond to me—nuthin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardegaulois Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Fidelis Pastori sum. "Pastorem Fido," however, means, "I trust in the Shepherd." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) God bless you, good sir. Thank you! Is there any way to say "I am faithful" with just a verb? Edited April 26, 2016 by Gabriela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardegaulois Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm not aware. "Fido" might work, but I'm not sure if it requires an object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatitude Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Could pastorem fido not be used even though the meaning is slightly different from what you intended? Trust and faith have the same root word in this context, after all, so the Latin 'I trust' has connotations of being faithful that don't exist in English. I also think it sounds better than the phrase you were originally hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Right, I agree. I think we're going to go with Pastorem Fido, but I have to run it by the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
