Latin Translation: I submit to you

by Sara
(Portland, OR)

Hi - can you please help me with "I submit to you," both grammatically and its pronunciation?

My guess is "Te cedo" but I'm not sure. Thanks so much!

Dear Sara,

Cedo is intransitive and takes an object in the dative case. So: tibi cedo, I submit/yield to you.

Hope this helps, and thanks for asking a Latin teacher.

Sincerely,

John
