I put very little faith in online translators and dictionaries beyond basic direct translation of verbs and nouns.

I need the sentence

"Remember Your Goal."

In either Latin or Ancient Greek.It is, sort of the imperative sentence for "you must remember your goal!" or " you should not forget your goal"

the meaning i need is
remember (recall, not to forget)
your (as in, it belongs to you)
goal (objective, target)

For latin I have found:

commoneo - to remind (forcibly), bring to recollection
vester - of belonging to/ associated with you
calx - pebble/lime/goal/ goal-line (chalk line).


which as far as i can tell, works fine as far as nuaces in meanings go, but i am lost as to the conjugation of those words.

I would actually prefer this in greek, as it will add another dimension to the meaning of the sentence.

i have found:

θυμάμαι - remember
σας pron. your

δικός σας pron. your, yours
σκοπός -end, intension, tenor, view, aim, cause, animus, design, effect, mark, object, objective, purport, purpose, purview, sake, scope, sentinel, sentry

but again the conjugation escapes me, mainly because i im having a hard time identifying if greek even has differnet verb forms.

any help here, would be great.

I don't know if this will help out or not, but in the Greek of the New Testament (Koine Greek) Phillipians 3:14 says, "I press toward the mark..."

κατὰ σκοπὸν διώκω

meaning the constant striving for a goal.

i found the answer after asking on another forum.

you'd think I would think of signing up on a language forum and asking there first....
