A translation in Latin

[DESTROYER123]

Hey people!
It's been a long time since I have loged in
(although I visit the site every day).

Anyway.
About a month ago, I asked to have some phrases translated from English to Italian. Shadow Fury helped me and case solved!

However,
this time I need a smaller phrase to be translated in Latin.
Dark Night
That's the word.
I have tried google translate, but it translates it as Mergitur Noctem which I believe is wrong.
Through research I learnt that mergitur comes from mergere which means merge and I don't think that noun fits there.


Aaaaaaanyway.
Bottom line because I already lot a lot of s .
If someone knows latin, in a good or advanced level, please translate the phrase Dark Night.

Thanks a lot.

Dark Night? Nox Acerbus, I think?

Alternatively "aterrima" is darkest. Darkest night?

 

[DESTROYER123]

Darkest night you say?
How is that called?

 

[Ash]

Nox aterrima.

Nox can be used, but I'm pretty sure nox is most directly translated to "night",
which makes the sentence odd: "Night Night" >.> (Nox Nox).

Tenebris and Obscurum are alternatives, personally I'd go for "Obscurum Noctem",
although "Nox Noctem" does also sound pretty badass, even though what I previously
said. Also, acerbus is a weird word, it basically translates to "tart", or acrid, as in the
"acer" bit of the word.

 

[DESTROYER123]

Whoa...
Obscurum Noctem sound really badass!
That's why I like Latin.
They sound badass.
Waste of time to learn them, though...
Anyway,
case closed.
I thank you both.

Learnt it for 5 years at school and it is not, but that is off-topic, just wanted to say...

Certainly, I'm really considering taking a course at the university in Latin.
All of my current Latin knowledge comes from the internet, as I use it a lot
when creating languages and phrases and such for my fantasy novels.

It helps you incredible learning other languages, since especially the ones from around Europe and America have their origin in Latin.

Italian ? Spanish ? No problem if you 'speak' Latin.
French, German, English ? Latin helps you a lot.

If you enjoy languages I would recommend you to take a course in it.

I'm Italian and honestly I hate Latin. It just... sucks. It's a dead language, nobody uses it anymore. Those who study it just do that because they like the language. It does help in learning European languages, I won't deny that, but the language simply sucks hard. My mother, who studied Latin as well, nags me sometimes to let me learn a little bit of Latin but I always refuse. I used my Italian to learn English and French so I don't really Latin in any way.

As for the translation, oh crap, I asked my mother but she doesn't remember :/

We all do, every single class mate of me does. But it helps you :/
