Hi,

I was wondering someone could please translate
'Knowledge of the Land' into Latin.

Thanks in advance for your time.

It is "scientia Terrae" ; "of" is not a Latin word and that language has declensions.

Thanks Lina,

I was wondering if there is words for
'of the' to extend it a bit to be more then two words.

Maybe something like 'Scientia et Terrae'

Thanks,

Dino

Actually, "of the" is said by the case of the word "terra" ; since it has to be a genitive, it is "terrae".

If you say "scientia et terrae", you say "knowledge and lands", not "knowledge of the land". If you want to have a more developped phrase, you can say "scientia de terra", which literally means "knowledge about the land".

Nice =)

Thats something I was wondering about how words are modified
based on their usage.

That makes sense though and thanks for the other suggestion, I think that sounds good too. hmm what to use.. =)

Thanks again.
