Hi, i was curious what you want "un solis ad terrae" to translate to? Did you get this phrase from somewhere?

It's just from some latin that I studied before. It just means "A Sun Upon the Earth"

Cool! Just wanted to give you a heads up that it's not saying what you want it to say (I took like 6 years of Latin in school like the big nerd I am instead of taking a more useful language ;p )

"Un" should be "Unus"
"Solis" should be "sōl" (solis would be "of the sun ")
"ad" means "to", like "to the store". The best word to use for "upon" would be the accusative preposition "super", which would mean "terrae" should be "terram" as the direct object needs to match the case its preposition is used for.

"Unus Sol Super Terram"

Oh wow. Okay, I will do that. Hahaha. That's really informative, thanks a bunch! 😊😘

Also, 6 years of latin is super cool. Studying a "dead" language is so awesome!

No prob, thanks for taking this so well lol; a very popular VN has a very wrong bit in it but didn't like me correcting it.

But yeah, although no country speaks it as a language, it's very useful as a bridge to learn romance languages and for learning grammar in general, as it's very systematic.

Oh, I don't exactly know Latin but I had interpreted solis as a form of sōlus, not a form of sōl, lol. So I guess that would have been something like "from a lonely one to the Earth." Probably still inaccurate even for that meaning though; I dunno.
