9 November 2010 01:28 | | | Hmm... "What is written" is the present tense in the passive? Right? So, shouldn't be: "Quod scribitur"? I know it is confusing indeed, but if it was "What was written", we would translate "Quod scriptum est"... Am I right, dear Alex? | | |

Yes, you're absolutely right, but I considered "it is written" not as a passive voice of the verb "to write", but as the verb to be plus the participle written acting like an adjective. Can you see what I mean?
I do not know if we can translate it literally to Latin...  | | |
10 November 2010 00:47 | | | Yes, probably you're right Alex. We shouldn't care so much about tenses here. The meeaning is, in essence, kept anyway. I'm gonna accept it! | | |
