Welcome to Tatoeba!

But I'm afraid you should capitalize the first word in your sentence (Sed), at least here at Tatoeba. ☺

@carlosalberto

In Latin, sentences are not requires to start with a capital letter. In fact, the whole notion of capital letters postdates Latin.

In this discussion people mention that at least some current works in Latin don't use capital letters: http://latindiscussion.com/foru...lization.9938/

Here is a scanned page from Harrius Potter et philosophi lapis:

As you can see, only names (Dursley) and titles (Dominus) are capitalised, but otherwise the sentences start with a small letter.

@impersonator

Well, if so, this will be an exception at Tatoeba. I have nothing against it. ☺

Wow, someone's translated Harry Potter to Latin... Really, some people like translating so much!
