Latin Translation Help! 2 short sentences posted w/job ad!?
Posted by brian in Resume Writing HELP on Aug 4th, 2010 | one response


nulla Duis dapibus dolor vitae aliquet gravida adipiscing
posuere et lectus adipiscing in nisl lorem semper

The first line was posted ABOVE the brief ad for the job, the second line was posted directly BELOW the ad. Just seems like an abnormal use of lorem ipsum?!?! As I understand lorem ipsum is ONLY used as a sample text, and this was a plain-jane craiglist job posting. I’m confused…help me out! PLEASE!

Here’s what I’ve guessed on so far using an online Latin to English translator:

nulla=NO
duis=God? (possible misspell)
dapibus=?????
dolor=pain
vitae=life
aliquet=some
gravida=pregnant
adipiscing=To come up to

posuere=to lay
et= and
lectus=bed
adipiscing=To come up to
in= upon
nisl= Appears to be lorem ipsum (dummy text)???
lorem=I found Delorem in a dictionary= pain/greif/suffering
semper=always

For those who are curious, here’s a link to the actual job ad: http://houston.craigslist.org/acc/1574810636.html

    That’s just Lorem Ipsum. There’ no tanslaton. The dead giveawy is ‘adipiscing’ That shows up frequently in Lorem Ipsum, and it’s not a Latin word. The ‘-ing’ ending just does not occur in Latin.
