seize your day

English to Latin Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting

is 'your' in Latin simply like 'te' hence to make the phrase - 'carpe diem' = seize the day to possibly 'carpe te diem' = seize your day?

carpe diem

You don't really need "your" in Latin. Adding "teum" will mean "yourS", I don't think it's needed.

Peer comment(s):

agree	BrigitteHilgner : Quite right - it would look rather odd. 12 mins
	I suppose, any literal approach doesn't work here. In English we say "oper your eyes", but in many other languages "your" is always omitted, it's extra.
agree	Krisztina Lelik : exactly 17 mins
agree	Joseph Brazauskas : I agree as well. 'Tuum' or 'vestrum' would ordinarily be added only for emphasis or to distinguish a day as peculiarly 'your own' instead of someone else's. 5 hrs
