Latin Phrase: Everything happens for a reason

by Heather
(Michigan)

I read the answer to the question of everything happens for a reason translated to omnia causa fiunt. Would that be the way it would be stated in the Latin language or more along the lines of just for translation from English to Latin?

Hi Heather,

This is definitely an English phrase translated into Latin. That is, it is not attested in any literature.

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

Sincerely,

John
