Latin Translation: I Made It

Dear Latin Teacher,

Please could you remind me how to say "I made it"
in a Latin translation. Is it me fecit?

Thanks for your help!


Dear Anonymous,

Your Latin phrase means it made me. To change it around to I made it, use id feci.

However, to say "I made it" in English has more than one meaning. Do you mean I made it as in I made this work of art or this dinner? Or do you mean to say I survived, I overcame, I finished what I started?

If any of the latter meanings are intended: superavi means I overcame; superfui means I have survived; id confeci means I finished it, completed it.

Hope this helps and thanks for asking a Latin teacher.

Sincerely,

John
