Title	haec si tecum patria loquatur nonne impetrare...?
Text Submitted by micajeja	Source language: Latin haec si tecum patria loquatur nonne impetrare debeat?

Title	If the homeland talked to you...
Translation English Translated by Aneta B.	Target language: English If the homeland talked to you, shouldn't it get them?
Remarks about the translation	get/receive/gain them/these things (lat. heac) it/she/he get.. -->t's not clear what the pronouns refer to, so many translations are possible. Note added later, thanks to Maki_Sindja: This is a sentence taken from Cicero's work "In Catilinam"; a translation, taking the context into account, would be: If the country should speak thus with you, would she not deserve to gain her request? https://books.google.rs/books?id=Y3bwAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA100&lpg=PA100&dq=haec+si+tecum+patria+loquatur+nonne+impetrare+debeat&source=bl&ots=rkq8gItmUi&sig=w3tv4v0vqbacRrNjsiVIprq__2M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=R-KbVbTsOqLn7gab8YHICQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=haec%20si%20tecum%20patria%20loquatur%20nonne%20impetrare%20debeat&f=false
