I need Latin help

[Wicht]

Does anyone know how to say "Specialization is for Insects" in Latin?

Online Latin translators don't seem to be a lot of help.

That is a hard one. I have no idea, but I can ask my Latin teacher in the morning.

That would be appreciated :)

According to this Online Translator it would be:

Specialization est pro Insects

[houstonderek]

Specializatio est pro cimicis?

Best I could come up with.

Heh. Yeah - like I said they are not much help. If I can't do it in latin, I may end up trying it in ancient Greek.

Spucatum tauri.

There's no word for 'specialization' or 'insect' in Latin. Romans used 'magister' (a master of a particular academic subject) in the same way we use 'specialist,' and 'vermis' (Roman and Greek scholars believed all bugs were forms of the worm) in the same way we use 'bug' or 'insect (though they had a word for virtually every type of insect in their parts of the world).' Our word 'insect' is a 17th century Latinate from the Greek 'entomon,' which simply meant many slices. 'Insect' means much the same.

I'm not sure why you are cursing at me in latin. It's a legitimate inquiry? Or is something being lost in translation? :)

So, did you ask?

Sorry--I was trying to make a joke, as in "BS Follows." I should have used a colon instead of a period. I really didn't mean anything towards you. :-)

That makes more sense. :)
