Tattoo Remember who you are

[riooooooooo]

I decided to have a tattoo, please help me to translate this phrases, thank you so much.

 

[Dantius]

Memento qui sis.

I took "who you are" as something more like "what kind of person you are".

 

[riooooooooo]

Memento qui sis.

I took "who you are" as something more like "what kind of person you are".

Thank you so much, I also found out those terms, "Memento quis es" and "Memento qui tu es". Would you please tell me are those similar to yours?

 

[Dantius]

"Memento quis es" — that "es" should be "sis" in classical Latin. However either way this literally means "remember who you are" as in remembering what your name is, etc. – literally who you are. However I suspect what you want is more what kind of person you are.

"Memento qui tu es" — again the "es" should be "sis" in classical Latin. The "tu" is fine but unnecessary.

I love the old Latin, as old as possible, that keeps the words a little bit mystery not many people know it. Thanks so very much, that's exactly what I need for a tattoo. I like the term "remember who you are" like the meaning in Lion King -

(please check it out if you don't know it). How do you think in this case, should I use "Memento qui sis" as a tattoo? Thanks.

I would recommend "memento qui sis".

 

[Pacifica]

[riooooooooo]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

 

[Imperfacundus]
