Now is the time for us to gather together...

[Sam]

Hi, eveyone.  I'm studying Classics in school, and though I wouldn't claim to be a master or anything (especially at translating Eng. to Lat.), I thought I'd try to put the Newbridge town motto into Latin to give it that authoritative sheen.  This is, naturally, a lot clumsier of a sentence than would be good Latin (such as I understand good Latin to be).  For those who don't have their Newbridge tie clips or whatnot handy (or haven't listened to the Jan. 9, 2007 episode recently), the motto is: Now is the time for us to gather together and celebrate those things that we like and think are fun.
My attempt at Romanizing:
nunc est nobis colligendum ut celebremus illa quibus gaudemus et quae putamus iucunda esse.
If anyone does read Latin and wishes to correct this, please feel free!   Valete!

I just got an authoritative sheen at the Home Depot.  Less than a dollar.

Christ, I wish I knew about that before I piled up these student loans!

My new life quote! I just wish I could pronounce it well.

Latin sounds pretty much they way it reads, g-stampgirl (mainly because no one really knows how it's supposed to sound, it being a dead language and all).  Just pronounce all the letters and make sure your u's sound like "ooo," your e's are short, your i's sound like "eee," and your consonants are hard.  Don't roll your r's--it ain't Church Latin.

Between high school and college, I took eight years of Latin.  Alas, I graduated six years ago and my vocabulary and grammar skills in the language have atrophied (apparently there aren't a lot of opportunities to use Latin in 'the real world'), so I can't give your style and grammar the third degree like the Jesuits did in my school days.  It looks pretty good to me, and it captures the unweildy nature of the motto perfectly.

That makes me feel better. I kinda have a history of mispronouncing words.

And C's like in Cicero are actually pronounced 'K', so Cicero = "ki-ke-ro," or so says my latin professor, who was chairman of the classics department.

nunc est nobis colligendum ut celebremus illa quibus gaudemus et quae putamus iucunda esse.

Does it need to be EXACT? Because this could capture the spirit of it, too...

Iam nos recolligo quod laus quisquam nos diligo quod duco hilaris

Did you happen to see Tom's girlfriend?

And Caesar's famous line would be 'waynee, weedy, weeky'.

A jussive subjunctive could also work for the main verb. i.e. Iam recolligamus or 'now, let us recall'...  Just a thought.  I'm curious about a couple things, and apologize if I'm misreading your sentence.  Is 'laus quisquam' the object of 'diligo', a predicate to 'quod' (i.e. 'which we esteem a praiseworthy thing')?  If it is, it should be accusative, 'laudem quemquam'.  If 'nos' is the subject of that clause, then the verb should be plural.  I'm out of it and not sure if those verbs must be in subjunctive as indirect statement.  I think so?  Also, hilaris, I think, is meant to agree with quod, which is neuter, and so it should be 'hilare'.  I hope I got some of this right - I think some of you have studied this way longer than I have.

nunc est nobis colligendum ut celebremus illa quibus gaudemus et quae putamus iucunda esse - os.

I'm no Latin scholar or nothin, but I know a fixed sentence when I see one.

That's actually a regional ending, used mostly in and around Schuylkill and in parts of Fishtown.

I didn't bother to mention v's 'cause there are none in the motto.
