I know some one here speaks Greek, as for Latin?
I need the translation for, without quotes:
"Going forth by day"
I came up with some results from translators on the web, but want to be sure.
Thanks much, guys.

been a while since i used it but....
προς τα εμπρός με μερα (προς τα εμπρός (to go forwards), με (with), μερα (Morning/Day) Phoenetic pronunciation;
pros ta emprós meh méra)
not sure whether it's imera (μερα prefaced with η (I) should be correct either way as day is a noun) :salute:

Nice going Matt! :applause:
Hi Piglet - please give me the context in which you intend to use the phrase.
Very often for slogans or motif, we use an older grammatical approach.
My daughter has a university degree in both ancient and modern Greek and makes a fair pass with latin also.
She'd be only too pleased.
If you like, PM me.
Best Regards
Nigel

Piglet..... Nigel, Dimus and I (Amongst others) are competent Greek Speakers, well maybe not so competent these days in my case... but if you ever need help one of us will be able to assist :salute:

Thanks guys!
The contex would be as a phrase, say, on a sign over a door or maybe a tomb. This is what I came up with.
