naturam sequere tuam word order

[mikesimusprime]

Hello all,

I am looking to get the Latin equivalent of "follow your (own) nature" and I have come across two ways of writing it.
1. naturam tuam sequere
2. naturam sequere tuam

I have read that word order was not fixed in Latin, but I would like to know which way would be the most correct way of writing this. I appreciate any and all help. Thank you

 

[Matthaeus]

As you said yourself, there is no strictly fixed word order, hence both versions of your Stoic ideal are correct.

 

[Ovidulus]

Standard word order usually puts the verb at the end, but indeed any way you want to order it is still correct.

 

[Pacifica]

Standard word order usually puts the verb at the end.

Imperatives are comparatively more often at the beginning, though.

In any case I confirm that either way is perfectly correct here, or even others. I have a personal preference for the look of naturam sequere tuam, but it's merely a matter of taste. It's by no means more correct because I prefer it.
